Adobe Introduces Acrobat.com Presentations

Preview of New Online Service Lets People Easily Create and Collaborate on
Presentations
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the preview release of
Acrobat.com Presentations, available for free sign-up as a public beta on Adobe
Labs. Acrobat.com Presentations extends the Acrobat.com vision of enabling a
better way for people to work together on the Web by providing a rich, engaging
presentation application built on the Adobe Flash Platform.

Acrobat.com Presentations builds on the Acrobat.com set of hosted services,
including Adobe Buzzword and Adobe ConnectNow, by making it easy for virtually
anyone to create professional-looking presentations online. The application
includes built-in tools and layouts for adding visually appealing elements, such
as pre-defined color sets, intelligent image placement and graphic tools for
creating diagrams and adding effects. Users can enhance their presentations with
visual special effects, slide transitions and embedded videos that can be
accessed by anyone with Adobe Flash Player, which is installed on 98 percent of
Internet-connected desktops worldwide.

Acrobat.com Presentations lets people work together on a presentation, all
contributing at the same time or separately, regardless of where they are
located. Now, there is no need to search for the latest version or combine
multiple copies in order to capture everyone's changes. With simultaneous
editing capabilities, no one is locked out of the presentation while others are
making changes. The application also makes it easy to see who has access to the
presentation, who is viewing, who is editing and which slide each person is
editing. Because the presentation lives online, people can access the latest
version from any Internet-connected computer and deliver the presentation from
anywhere online via ConnectNow or offline by exporting to PDF.

Productivity Business Unit

* "By adding Acrobat.com Presentations to our existing set of hosted services,
our customers will be able to extend the experience of creating and
collaborating on documents into the visual world of presentations. Buzzword has
helped people - from office workers and creative professionals to educators and
students - express and share their ideas, and we are excited to see what our
customers will do as they work together using Acrobat.com Presentations."
