“In related news, Adobe said it is making its first serious
moves to support the fast-growing Linux platform.”
“Starting in the first quarter of 2000, Adobe will offer a Linux
version of Adobe Acrobat Distiller software, which converts volumes
of Adobe Postscript files to Adobe PDF. In addition, Linux users
can download a beta version of Adobe Framemaker software from the
Adobe.com web site. Also, a Linux version of the Adobe Acrobat
Reader software is available for free download.”
“We expect that the Linux platform will be a strong, strong
player in our product space, and we expect it to be
successful,” said Joe Eschbach, Adobe vice president of
e-paper division.”
