Two great news from Adobe

An article by Kuba    No Comments

Recently Adobe has announced two great news:

1. They has lunched the beta version of Acrobat Tables which enables spreadsheets on acrobat.com Also this application is Flex-based which is really cool.

It enables working with and sharing information such as project management task lists, budget planning, sales lead pipelines, contact lists and much more. While developing this project Adobe has focused on really basic but important question: How do people really want to work together on a spreadsheet? That’s why they have implemented all those really cool features:

? All users can add data simultaneously – solving one of the biggest problems with shared worksheets. All data is always up-to-date for everyone.
? Presence – lets you know who else is working on the table and where they are working
? Private and common views – allows the team to work together, but see the information that is important to each person. Private views let you see information that is important to you, without disturbing others working on the sheet.
? Filtering is real time so you can play with the data and adjust your filter in real time, without having to open a dialog box for every change.
? Sorting – quick, simple and always includes all of the data

You can try it for your self here or read more on Adobe’s blog.

2. Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) specification is now open! It is aveliable for everyone who wants to use it for free. You can download it here.
