Adobe Acrobat Allows For Free Professional Online Collaboration
December 9, 2011
Online collaboration is becoming more and more popular as the Internet grows. Instead of purchasing ten airline tickets, all traveling to Orlando, and collaborating for three days in a conference room, you can use your computer’s webcam. Adobe Acrobat allows you to open a conference room for screen sharing, screen controlling, instant messaging, and file sharing. Adobe Acrobat can be used for sharing files peer to peer or simply helping a friend out with their computer. The program can be found for free at Acrobat.com. All you need to sign up is an Adobe account (which is free, of course).
I have used Adobe Acrobat a couple of times to help people with their computers along with working on a Photoshop project with a peer. When you open up a conference room, you can invite people to join via email or a link. When they enter, you can then share your screen, control their screen, share your webcam, files, microphone, etc. When I helped a client with a Photoshop project, I requested control of their computer and then showed them how to perform different tasks in Photoshop. Adobe Acrobat worked quite well and allowed me to collaborate flawlessly.
