Adobe heeft aangekondigd dat het in het eerste kwartaal van volgend jaar een Linux versie van Acrobat Distiller zal worden gereleased. De beta van FrameMaker voor Linux kan inmiddels van Adobe.com neer gehaald worden. Hier de info van GA-Source:
As Adobe Acrobat software has become the essential tool for document exchange in the enterprise, Adobe customers have requested a server-based solution for high-volume conversion of PostScript files to Adobe PDF. The Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server on Linux, Sun SPARC Solaris and Windows NT will provide users with a flexible, automated mechanism for creating Adobe PDF documents. In addition, a Linux version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader software is already available at no charge from the Adobe.com Web site.Adobe FrameMaker 5.5.6 is an integrated solution for document creation and publishing. It provides many sophisticated features including, full featured WYSIWYG word processing, sophisticated formatting controls and powerful table designing facilities. Productivity enhancing features, such as template re-use, book building tools, support for cross-references, index and table of contents creation, help users make short work of long documents. Additionally, FrameMaker documents can be output to HTML, XML or Adobe PDF, as well as to print, making it an all-in-one publishing solution.
Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server software for Linux, Sun SPARC Solaris and Windows NT is expected to be available in Q1 2000. The beta version of Adobe FrameMaker for Linux is available now from the Adobe.com Web site.
Hopelijk betekent dit dat we in de toekomst ook Linux versies van Photoshop mogen verwachten.
