Submission + - Adobe to Discontinue SVG Viewer
SimHacker writes: "Since Adobe bought Macromedia, it was predicted that Adobe would drop support for SVG, because they were supporting SVG as an alternative to Flash, which they now own. Now the other shoe has finally dropped. Adobe SVG is dead. Long live Adobe SVG!
Adobe to Discontinue Adobe SVG Viewer
Adobe has decided to discontinue support for Adobe SVG Viewer. There are a number of other third-party SVG viewer implementations in the marketplace, including native support for SVG in many Web browsers. The SVG language and its adoption in the marketplace have both matured to the point where it is no longer necessary for Adobe to provide an SVG viewer.
SVG is an established vector image format. Adobe currently supports SVG in several of its authoring and server products, including Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, Version Cue, Graphics Server, FrameMaker, and FrameMaker Server.
Adobe customer support for Adobe SVG Viewer will be discontinued on January 1, 2008.
For more information on this decision and answers to questions about the discontinuation of Adobe SVG Viewer, please see the Adobe SVG Viewer End of Life FAQ."
