Future Chapter Meeting Topic
Tuesday February 16, 2010 Meeting:
Matt Sullivan
"The Best Tech Comm Deal from Adobe You've Never Heard About..."
How much would you pay to:
- Create PDF files on a machine without access to Acrobat or Acrobat Distiller?
- Conduct online reviews of PDF or distribute and collect forms data files without managing network access and server locations?
- Help someone with remote tech support on their computer?
- Do a small presentation or an impromptu live collaboration with folks outside your immediate work area?
- Co-navigate uploaded PDF files to create a virtual brainstorming/whiteboard session?
- Deliver large files to others without clogging email servers, setting up FTP transfers, or splitting the files into small pieces?
And just for kicks, would you find it convenient to:
- Collaborate on documentation in real time using simple (MS Office-like) online applications?
- Use your web-enabled phone to search, browse, or view files or generate and send links to files, rather than attaching bulky files?
This free service from Adobe does all of the above! And you say you still haven't signed up for acrobat.com?
Join Matt Sullivan to discuss some of the most useful aspects of acrobat.com, including file sharing, web conferencing and collaboration, and presentations. Those with mobile wireless connections on their laptops (Verizon, etc.) will be able to participate in the examples used in this presentation. To get the most from the presentation, Matt suggests you spend the three minutes it takes to get your free account and familiarize yourself with some of the basic services (like file sharing) available there.
