Adobe Adds to its Google Apps Rival
Like its mates, Workspaces is built on Adobe’s Flash platform

Adobe Monday added Workspaces, a new collaboration space to its Google Apps-like hosted Acrobat.com productivity services. The widgetry lets teams inside and outside of organizations work together on projects.

With Workspaces, team members can store and organize project content online, share and manage team access to files, and convert files to Adobe’s signature PDF format.

The company says teams can meet in real-time and share their screens using Adobe ConnectNow, or create documents and tables with Acrobat.com’s other online office applications, the Buzzword word processor and Acrobat.com Tables.

Like its mates, Workspaces is built on Adobe’s Flash platform and operates inside a browser. Apart from the Flash Player that’s on most machines out there, no software installation is required.

Workspace administration privileges can be assigned to specific team members to help maintain control over who has what level of access to each project’s documents. Each individual also has his own Personal Workspace to store and work on documents before they’re ready to be shared with the team.

Acrobat.com users can create one free Shared Workspace; Premium Basic subscribers can create 20; and Premium Plus subscribers an unlimited number of Workspaces.

Premium Basic runs $14.99 a month or $149 a year. Premium Plus runs $39 a month, $390 a year.

The widgetry includes unlimited downloads per document and online word processing. The paid subscriptions include unlimited PDF files and one-on-one support. Premium Basic includes web conferencing for five people; Premium Plus for 20.
