XML: June 2008 Archives

Acrobat.com...

... was announced yesterday, and is available now as a public beta. By all means, check it out. I have been playing with Buzzword, and like it. I did manage to break it trying an Export to Word 2003 XML, but it is a Beta after all.

I do wonder about the export choices, which, apart from Acrobat, zipped XML, and plain text, are all Microsoft--Word 2003, Word 2007, and Word 2003 XML. This makes perfect sense if Adobe sees Buzzword as the Web interface in a Microsoft-centric document workflow. But I can see other use cases, especially ones where the content is destined for a Web CMS (or is already in a Web CMS and is being updated. In these cases, the Web CMS would likely not want the overhead of the complex Microsoft file structures.

I think we are getting a briefing on Acrobat.com shortly. I will see what Adobe has in mind.
