Adobe in Technical Communication and eLearning

Today (11/21/09) Adobe has launched a new and much improved version of Acrobat.com, our Online Office Suite, which includes the following online services:

• Web Conferencing via ConnectNow — Host online meetings with easy-to-use web conferencing
• File Sharing and Storage — Rather than sending large e-mail attachments back and forth, simply share your file online with a URL that is always the same
• Online Adobe PDF Creation— Easily create Adobe® PDF documents from your existing files in Microsoft® Word, Excel®, PowerPoint®, and many other applications
• Adobe Buzzword beta — Write, edit and comment on documents with your team
• Acrobat.com Presentations beta — Work with others to create stunning presentations
• Acrobat.com Tables beta — Collaborate on data and information typically shared in spreadsheets or simple databases
