Adobe is testing a new document reader
October 25th, 2006 by e-tech
Adobe Inc is trying out a new flash based document reader.
an excerpt:
Adobe on Tuesday released a beta version of Digital Editions, a Web application built in Flash that is designed to make reading electronic documents easier. The tool acts like a slimmed down version of Adobe Reader, and can even display PDF files.
Digital Editions, unveiled at Adobe’s MAX 2006 conference in Las Vegas, is only 2.5MB in size. It’s not intended to replace the bulky Reader, but rather to extend its feature set. It utilizes the same e-book capabilities Adobe built into Reader, and adds Flash to make digital publications interactive.
