Acrobat.com is a combination of three recently launched online services: Adobe Brio (online meetings), Adobe Buzzword (online word processor), and Adobe Share (online file sharing). Thus with the public beta launch of Acrobat.com, Adobe is taking on Google Docs, Microsoft Office Live Workspace, WebEx, and GoTo Meeting—all at the same time....
...At the same time Adobe is launching Acrobat.com, it is releasing Acrobat 9—a major upgrade to one of its anchor desktop apps. The big news here is that for the first time, Adobe’s PDF-creating desktop software will support Flash. So people can now create documents with embedded Flash movies from YouTube, or developers can design entire new skins for electronic documents using Adobe’s Flex framework—the same programming tool they use to create Web applications.

FEATURES : ADOBE ACROBAT 9-- convert MOV and WMV files to Flash content that can be embedded within PDFs alongside audio content and even 3D models & play the movies-- lets users drag and drop content into a portfolio, then choose from myriad layout and presentation options-- take snapshots of Web pages and convert entire pages or chunks of them to a PDF that preserves links and animation-- Developers can tweak layouts with Flex Builder 3 or Flash CS3.-- make pages match visually with themes and custom logos, and improved tools for comparing documents.-- enable users to add 256-bit encryption, used by banks online, to PDFs-- For creating online forms, Acrobat 9 adds intelligence to recognize content for conversion to fillable fields. And a forms tracking dashboard will show, for instance, the status of responses to a mass party invitation e-mail and let a user send reminders to guests. Responses can be sorted, filtered, and exported to spreadsheets.(credit: TechCrunch)
