Adobe Launches Acrobat.com
Adobe challenges Google Docs with launch of Acrobat.com
Adobe has launched its next salvo in the SaaS battle, creating a suite of online document creation and collaboration tools. Along with online PDF creation tools, file sharing, online meeting and collaboration, Acrobat.com also includes Adobe's Buzzword word processor for online and collaborative document creation.
The collection of tools is aimed at replicating many of the functions for which most office workers use Microsoft Office. It also offers some services similar to Google Docs. Adobe describes the design focus behind Acrobat.com as being on ubiquity, collaboration, and user experience. Ubiquity is powered by (of course) the Internet, and collaboration comes from group document creation, editing, and sharing.
Collaboration is also facilitated by ConnectNow, which includes and online meeting space as well as screen sharing facilities. The user experience is naturally fueled by Flash and AIR.
