Adobe launches new version of Acrobat.com
Adobe Systems Inc. is launching a new version of its document sharing software Acrobat on Monday, and this time it can package videos. Acrobat allows users to package documents so they can be read across different hardware and operating systems. Acrobat 9 comes with Adobe’s video-enabling software Flash. Users can include Flash-based videos when they create and share documents with the portable document format, commonly known as PDF. With a professional version of Acrobat 9, for example, users could package a Power Point presentation not just with images, but also with an audio of the presenter’s voice.
“You can now send someone a presentation that speaks on its own all through a PDF,” said Adobe spokesman Kevin M. Lynch, who is not related to the company’s chief technology officer with the same name. Adobe also launched Acrobat.com, which will host Web-based software services to support document creation and sharing. The San Jose-based software maker hasn’t launched a new version of Acrobat since November 2006, almost a year after it purchased Macromedia Inc., the creator of Flash software. Users have expected to see Flash integrated into Acrobat since that purchase, Lynch said.

nice.. cooL
wow adorable
Picture is from Mudbubble, this guy can truly animate.
Acrobat ?! Useless bloatware…
Handy, thanks for the post
O-M-G! NO! Well this sucks…
Observer,
grow up, fückhead. and try to back your statement to show that at least you try.
When are we expected to get a working version to download?
On the one hand the Trial and on the other hand (more interesting) a cracked version?
what’s the release date for acrobat 9? adobe forget to mention that on their crappy site.
Detlef the Noob, you can use the cracked version while I use the keygen to activate it.
you served your title, boob noob.
@Leonardo: Well i would prefer a keygen also, like in older versions, but i’m just interested, when it will be available for download. And also when the keygen or the crack is available.
nice day all
thanks please upload
i agree, Detlef, but cracks sucked for Adobe stuff. hopefully the activation have noit changed and SSG will rls the keygen when the app released.
Dear idiot public we found a new way to make Acrobat 9 EVEN SLOWER MWAHAHAHAHA
I can see my available ram going down down down and my network chewed up with update checker, and update service and and update service updater updating updates!
PDF’s with sound. Why would anyone want to do that? Talk about 100+ meg PDFs.
I’m thinking the concept is going in reverse.
I actually like Acrobat and use it daily for many things. Some of you dummies are just stuck around here looking for the next movie to download. It does not matter what it is you will watch it. Get a life jerks. Especially @ 4.
WHY!!!, who in the hell decided acrobat needed to be even more of a hog.
This started out as being a good way to scan and read DOCUMENTS.
Unless this screws up regular pdfs, I’ll be quite happy with Foxitreader thank you very much
Just hit foxitsoftware.com and they ALREADY have a new version to support this, so unless Adobe has REALLY sped up their app and reduced memory in this release then they are ahead of the game again
So now any flash vulnerabilities can be used against more people and office workers can send each other porn at work.
i think actually acrobat format is not the problem. its the implementation of acrobat itself. which is more of a bloatware. try opening 3 or 4 pdf simultaniously and see how much resources it takes. point is how is flash going to be implemented? As OLE object support which is going to be slow or flash support will be built into Acrobat which means it is going to need more resources.
Foxit ftw!
Today I attended the channel event of Adobe for this product, this new product offers soooooo much more then previous version. Check out the professional pro edition for the most wack options
@ 24 – go to hell.
+1 for Foxit Reader.
@24,
lol, your title serves you tight, eh?
to the idiot who don’t get it.
why put flash and sound into PDF? cause then you can use that as a presentation engine. adobe reader is there on every machine, powerpoint not so much.
so funny when kids comment on technology when they only care about downloading ring tones and movies to their mobiles.
Any rapidshare links for this??????
