AIR version of Acrobat.com delivers a super user experience

I have been using the Acrobat.com website for a couple of months now for file sharing, presentations and especially for Buzzword, the RIA word processor built on Flex and AIR. I highly recommend the product to anyone who needs the following:

• web-based access to files
• file sharing
• .pdf creation
• shared presentations
• free web based word processor

Buzzword is a free word processor built in Flex and includes all the major features you would need including tables, image positioning, commenting, lists, headers, footers and a cool history feature.

Another cool feature of the Acrobat.com beta is the ability to download an AIR version of the program. I'll be posting about AIR more in coming posts, but for now, just know that it is a way of extending a web-based application to the desktop. In the Acrobat.com AIR app, you can minimize the application to a small widget on your desktop for access to all the products quickly. Works like having a extra drive there on your desktop-I can even drag and drop files to the widget.


So check out this great Rich Internet Application and excellent user experience at www.acrobat.com. For now the product is in a beta, so be cautious to any bugs, but I have yet to find a bug and sincerely hope this service will remain free.
