Adobe aims at workgroups with Acrobat 7

Adobe Systems Inc. by the end of the year will release version 7.0 of its Acrobat products, including a new free Acrobat Reader that now includes reviewing capabilities, the company announced Monday.


With the updates, San Jose, Calif.-based Adobe is underscoring its focus on workgroups and document management. The client products all tie in to the company’s Intelligent Document Platform, a set of elements Adobe wants to use to make PDF (Portable Document Format) with XML (Extensible Markup Language) additions a common way to get data in and out of enterprise systems.

Acrobat 7.0 Professional users can create PDF (Portable Document Format) files and allow those to be reviewed and commented on by Acrobat Reader 7.0 users. The reader features a new reviewing toolbar that can be enabled when the PDF file is created in Acrobat Professional, according to Adobe.

Acrobat 7.0 Standard and Professional will be available in English, French, German and Japanese by the end of the year for Mac OS X and Windows.
