Adobe aims to blow copy cats out of water E-mail
by Stan Beer   
Tuesday, 19 September 2006
Those who thought that Adobe might be in a spot of bother when a plethora of copy cats, including Microsoft and Open Office.org sprang up offering to save files as PDF (portable document format) documents may do well to think again. Adobe attempts to show in its Acrobat 8 product, document creation is more than just saving files in a defacto standard format.

One of the new features that hits you with a "hey that's handy" type of feeling is the power to take a bunch of documents created in Excel, Powerpoint, Word, Lotus Notes, AutoCAD and, as Adobe says, any other file that prints, and combine them or parts of them into a single PDF document.

And the bits that you put into the merged document maintain the data and security characteristics that they had before they were merged, unless you want to remove stuff that may be sensitive, such as images, hyperlinks and so on.

In addition, a new web conferencing feature called Acobat Connect, enables Acrobat 8 users to hold web conferences and collaborate on documents online using the already widely installed Flash software, a legacy of Adobe's ownership Macromedia.

At US$449 for a new copy or US$159 for an upgrade, it's doubtful whether too many corporate Acrobat users are going to quibble about the cost or even compare the Adobe product to a mere wordprocessor that can save files in PDF format. {moscomment}
