Adobe Acrobat.com

It seems that Adobe doesn’t want to be left out of the Web 2.0 office application fad with it’s Acrobat.com. It provides document writing, desktop sharing, PDF creation, and a neat online PDF reader. All of this was made possible by employing the formerly Macromedia’s Flash technology. I was initially excited about the online Acrobat reader since the Linux reader is quite slow, and the other online solutions, such as Scribd are less than impressive. However, the Flash plug-in for Linux isn’t very impressive either. Well, in any case, Adobe seems to have gotten the right idea, by starting work on an open-source Flash and certifying PDF as an ISO standard.
