Joining the fray of online office applications that already includes the likes of Google Apps, Microsoft Office Live and smaller companies like Zoho, Adobe launched a beta version of Acrobat.com on Monday. Like its rivals, Acrobat.com will allow users to work online, collaborate with others, and share their finished works using Web 2.0 applications instead of traditional office software.

Adobe Digital Editions 1.0 Released
Adobe took the wraps off a new line of software Monday with the release of Adobe Digital Editions 1.0. The new software is supposed to serve as a viewer for a virtual library of publications including eBooks and digital newspapers.
With built-in support for Adobe’s own PDF format and a slim download size of 3MB, it appears as though Digital Editions could be a beefed up replacement for Adobe Acrobat. Additional features that Acrobat lacks include Flash support, organization of content through bookshelves, and a new user interface that is intended to make the zooming and scrolling process easier. Users can also annotate content with bookmarks, highlighting and text notes.
