Adobe Acrobat Connect

September 17, 2006 · 3 Comments

Adobe Acrobat Connect. Always-on personal meeting rooms available soon, initially as a free trial, with a $39/month subscription service available in early 2007. See the press release. That's the official announcement of the new product line for which I've been working on some of the back end systems. More details in due course.

    So Connect is like Breeze without the VoIP and recording options? It's a little unclear based on the demo if VoIP is included.

    And Breeze has been rebranded as Acrobat Connect Professional?

    Peter, correct, no VOIP but you still get integrated teleconferencing. See this product comparison chart for more details:

    This is quite brilliant.
    If Im viewing this correctly it seems that comments I leave on a PDF are somehow stored remotely - so others can view and reply to them without having to send the file around. It's like Adobe has created a distributed document management system. And by offering a free reader (which is already their model) they've been able to move the functionality down to the client as apposed to the server (MS Sharepoint). I also just love the phrase "document based communication". Because, when you get right down to it, that's how most online meeting software really gets used.
