Submission + - Adobe adds Flash support to Acrobat Reader

TypoNAM writes: "Adobe on Monday is set to unveil the next version of its Adobe Acrobat software, which adds support for the company's Flash multimedia technology. The company also plans to launch a new Web site offering users free hosted services for document creation, sharing and storage.

Even as Adobe rolls out hosted document services, Adobe Acrobat 9, the company's packaged software for document sharing, is expected to ship in late June or early July, said Kevin M. Lynch, vice president of product management and marketing for Acrobat. The software will allow users to incorporate Flash content in documents that can be converted to PDF, so any dynamic media created in Flash and included in the document will become portable, he said." Just when you thought reading PDFs with Adobe Reader wasn't already aggravating enough.
