Wowza, Adobe to aquire Macromedia
Just Imagine the possibilities…. Imagine being able to import a PSD file into flash where each layer can be manipulated via action scripting, imagine flash animations embedded within PDF files.. sounds like a contradiction… Or even better think about being able to export a PDF of all the text in a flash file with the click of a button.. (It is usually painfully difficult to to copy and paste from a flash file). Imagine being able to export a very smooth looking video from Primiere directly into flash
I'll leave the rest to your imagination..
It was pretty cool when Macromedia aquired allaire (Which created Cold Fusion). I have always admired the various new products Macromedia has come up with. I.e. Breeze.. that is something that I am looking forward to working with. Adobe will now own one of the most diverse collections of boxed softwares out there. I think the only thing they need now is an operating system of thier own. Maybe they can create one using all the technolgoies they've aquired
Then they can go up against Microsoft
