Adobe's PDF Joins Palm Computing Platform

Adobe Systems and Palm Computing, a 3Com
company, have announced their intention to integrate the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) technology into the Palm Computing platform.

The companies said the agreement is designed to support
the growing consumer market for electronic publishing, and
bring a new level of convenience and portability to Adobe
customers. It will deliver Palm users new content, from
electronic books (e-books) to business workflow
documents.

Publishers, authors and readers of electronic documents
worldwide use the Adobe PDF format - the proprietary
technology enables electronic publishers to retain the visual
integrity of a document, preserve relevant information such
as graphics and text within a single document and maintain
cross-platform capabilities. Tens of millions of PDF files are
already available worldwide, including electronic books,
manuals and workflow materials and forms.
