---|---|---|
Adobe's Acrobat software, released in June 1993, is based around a new Portable Document Format (PDF) which offers the possibility of being able to view and exchange electronic documents, independent of the originating software, across a wide variety of supported hardware platforms (PC, Macintosh, Sun UNIX etc.). The fact that Acrobat's imageable objects are rendered with full use of Level 2 PostScript means that the most demanding requirements can be met in terms of high- quality typography and device-independent colour. These qualities will be very desirable components in future multimedia and hypermediasystems. The current capabilities of Acrobat and PDF are described in particular the presence of hypertext links, bookmarks, and 'yellow sticker' annotations (in release 1.0) together with article threads and multimedia 'plug-ins' in version 2.0. |
