Acrobat Labs Unvieils Tables Beta

On the heels of last week's release of Acorbat.com Presentation-today Adobe Labs released a beta of Tables. a spreadsheet application that will sure to be become part of their offerings at Acrobat.com. I just had a chance to fire it up and found it easy to use. Tables is a collaborative spreadsheet application that lives in the cloud that allows you to quickly share data with others. The interface is easy and intuitive and it has a unique Summary feature which makes it easy to apply formulas to the values in the columns. As far as a I can tell there is no graphing capabilities at this point in time. So give Tables a try and let me know what you think. Acrobat.com has also released a Premium version of their Web 2.0 service with added value.

Adobe Labs Unveils Acrobat.com Presentations

Not resting on its laurels Adobe Labs just released into beta their Presentation tool. Much like Google Present, Acrobat.com Presentations is a free presentation tool with a very slick Flash based look to it. More importantly- with Adobe Presentations you can share your presentations with others via an email. Acrobat.com Presentations tool is ideal for group collaboration. Adobe Presentations has the look and feel of a desktop application that can produce some very visually pleasing slide presentations. There are a number of templates to choose from and you can even change and modify the Master slide to customize your presentation deck. I found Adobe Presentation very easy to use and more powerful that Google Present. I do wish that Adobe Presentation provided embedding code and some way to quickly put your Adobe Presentation up on your website or blog. Other than that, I think you will find Adobe Presentations to be a very well conceived presentation tool for sharing and creating online assets. I would imagine that at some point- Adobe will add this to their suite of online tools at Acrobat.com. Email me if you would like me to share my Acrobat.com Presentation with you.
