Adobe Systems has released Adobe Acrobat 9, which offers a hybrid approach to document sharing and collaboration. Its strong features for document creation and editing are combined with broad web-based collaboration, conferencing and sharing tools. Acrobat 9 is loaded with dozens of new features, such as PDF Portfolios, which allows users to bind multiple file types together and present them in a single file with title, logo and a cover page. Acrobat 9 also includes Adobe Presenter, which creates standalone presentation PDF documents with a combination of Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Reader. Anyone with the free Adobe Reader can view the finished document. Acrobat 9 also has a video converter that allows users to convert Windows Media Video or QuickTime movies to Adobe's Flash format. It allows users to navigate around inserted 3D objects in the document. It is also tightly integrated with Acrobat.com, Adobe's collection of hosted services for collaboration. Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Pro Extended include Adobe Presenter and PDF Portfolios, but the Standard version does not. Acrobat 9 does a very good job of document comparison and converting webpages to PDF, It has enhanced search and redact features, which those in the legal profession will appreciate. It can also integrate three-dimensional maps into PDF documents.
