Adobe promotes new mobile capabilities

ADOBE, the company behind the ubiquitous PDF format for documents, is touting electronic-signature and mobile capabilities in a new subscription package aimed at helping individuals and businesses manage their documents.

The announcement of Acrobat DC and Adobe Document Cloud comes as people have more options for creating their own PDF documents. Besides free or cheap software available from third parties, many browsers including Google’s Chrome now come with that capability built-in.

Before, people had to buy Adobe’s Acrobat software for hundreds of dollars. (The Acrobat Reader is free, but can be used only to read PDF documents, not create them.)

Its e-signature features will let parents easily fill out school permission slips. One app lets people photograph a paper form with a mobile device. The app coverts that to a PDF file and lets the user fill out and sign the form electronically.
