Flash and PDF together on mobile devices

"(PDF and Flash) both have huge reach across the internet: hundreds of millions of people. I think the Flash player is in 98 per cent of desktops."

"People should expect to see that much of what we do in the future will be designed to take advantage of that platform: the combination of the PDF reader and Flash player,"

This is what Mr Elop, Adobe, said in the "Adobe no Flash in the pan for mobile solutions" interview by BizTech.

He gives the example of an online loan application site, which uses Flash to display the options in an interactive way, then a PDF form for the final application.

Adobe expects mobile phones will be another big market for the Flash/PDF combination. "This is at the heart of our strategy," he says. "We want (Flash/PDF) to be the cross-platform choice. For mobile devices, set-top boxes, digital television sets, gaming platforms, car navigation, aircraft entertainment, the list goes on and on."

How to make a PDF Accessible with Adobe Acrobat 7

On December 15, 2005 we organized the first Acrobat User Group event in Italy.
ple attended and a number of them have expressed an interest in joining the group in Rome or Milan and are eager to come to the next meeting.
That is, I believe is a further confirmation of general interest in the initiative of an Acrobat User Group in Italy. You can see more notes and photos on AcrobatUsers site.

The two key topics that we covered were ‘Introduction to Acrobat product family’ and ‘PDF Accessibility" I have to say that a particular interest arose from the discussion about accessibility.

I decided to translate into english  my "PDF_Accessibility " presentation and make it available to download.

Download PDF_Accessibility in PDF format (of course :) ).
If you want the italian version fell free to ask me !
