About a month ago, Adobe made available the latest version of their Acrobat family: Acrobat 9. This is a big release with many new features like speed and the most wanted Flash enabled PDF. Along with this new product, Adobe made a new announcement: the availability of Acrobat.com – collaboration suite.

Acrobat.com was a good idea and a new step taken into Google’s world. Google with its Docs suite, has now a very powerful competitor called Adobe. This new website is a suite of several services from Adobe that are quite used: Adobe Connect Now (online meeting), Adobe Share (online share) and Adobe Buzzword (online text application). So, you can write articles, share your files and also make video web conferences. All this services along with the possibility to create online PDF files are very good features for a collaboration suite.

Intuitive User Interface
The collaboration will worth less without the nice interface. As usual, the interface features a “green” style. By green I mean a eco-friendly web environment. All interfaces have a dark color scheme with big buttons and proper graphic elements. The placement for objects is good and also the fact that each feature is labeled is truly helpful. I would like to see the same interface on the desktop applications like Photoshop or Dreamweaver. But for now, this good user interface implementation is providing the user with a good experience.

It will be interesting to see more and more Adobe applications going into this collaboration suite. But at the same time it will be pretty hard to monetize these kind of projects. Overall the service is most welcomed and I think that Adobe User Interface should be a must for every new UI designer.
