Adobe debuts Acrobat 9

Acrobat version 9: set to ship in July

US software development firm Adobe Systems has introduced version 9 of its leading Acrobat product series.

The new edition will ship in July. Acrobat version 9 natively understands Flash technology as well as a breadth of other media formats that it collects in the PDF portfolio.

In other developments, Adobe is starting web service Acrobat.com today. The innovations in the control and modification of PDF documents should interest print media firms. There is an overprint preview, a conversion engine to change colour spaces, along with colour mapping in Pantone colours with the help of the in-built Pantone library.
