[Admin]

Adobe公司推出的该项服务对于利用远程教学技术授课教师或进行组织培训的团队来说是相当好的消息，只需要注册一个免费的Adobe.com的帐号即可完成演示文稿制作、协同工作以及实时修改的工作。另外，籍由相关的在线服务如ConnectNow等，主持人还可方便的进行屏幕共享和远程操作。

Expanding its push from software toward online services, Adobe Systems on Wednesday introduced a technology for collaboratively producing and sharing online presentations.
继吹响向在线软件服务进军的号角后，Adobe公司周三（五月二十七日）对外宣布了用于在线演示出版与分享的协作型技术。

Acrobat.com Presentations, hosted at Adobe Labs in its current, somewhat experimental state, joins Adobe's Buzzword online word processor with its ConnectNow service for screen sharing and other online meeting activities. Adobe also offers a basic online version of its Photoshop image-editing technology called Photoshop.com.
该项服务名为Acrobat.com Presentation，目前仍属实验阶段，与公司的Buzzword和ConnectNow服务（用于屏幕共享及在线会议）整合。Adobe还通过Photoshop.com提供了一项在线图片修改润色服务。

"The application includes built-in tools and layouts for adding visually appealing elements, such as pre-defined color sets, intelligent image placement and graphic tools for creating diagrams and adding effects," Adobe said in a statement.
Adobe公司宣称，此项应用包括内建用于添加丰富演示元素的工具，如预置配色版、智能图片调整以及制图表的功能。

Acrobat.com Presentations also lets multiple people work on the same presentation at the same time. "With simultaneous editing capabilities, no one is locked out of the presentation while others are making changes," Adobe said. "The application also makes it easy to see who has access to the presentation, who is viewing, who is editing and which slide each person is editing."
该应用亦允许多人同时对某个演示进行协同工作：“具备了实时编辑的能力后，对演示文稿进行修改将即改即用，无须观众等候。通过此项应用，还可很清楚的了解是谁在查看演示、修改演示以及修改的是哪一部分。”

Acrobat.com Presentations is based on Adobe's Flash technology, an add-on that's widely installed in Web browsers. In contrast, a rival service, Google Docs, uses the JavaScript programming language built into Web browsers. Microsoft's upcoming online Office service will use JavaScript but get extra abilities if a browser has Silverlight, Microsoft's rival to Flash, installed.
Acrobat.com Presentation是基于公司的Flash技术，该技术被广泛采用，大多数网页浏览器均支持。另一方面，一些竞争方也提供了类似的应用，谷歌的在线文档服务采用的是内建的、可被网页浏览器支持的JavaScript编程语言，微软即将上线的在线办公服务包也将采用JavaScript技术，不过将利用自家的Silverlight技术提供更多丰富应用（客户端必须事先安装Silverlight）。
