Adobe seems to want to play a part in the industry’s attempt in bridging the gap between the desktop and the web experience. The company has recently announced the launch of Acrobat.com, a community site for file sharing and much more.

At this moment the site is in its beta version and offers tools for creating documents, sharing files and participating or starting web conferences. It is hard to say which of the three is the core component or even if there is one, since all the features seem to be extremely useful for anybody who wants to create documents collaborating with other people.

The word processor, called Buzzword, allows people to create a document and lets others edit it or comment on it. The users can also see a detailed history regarding the editing of the document and everybody’s contribution can easily be tracked down. What is more, the document can be saved in a Portable Document Format, or better known as PDF. The users of the beta version can save up to 5 such documents for free every month.

Another interesting feature allows people to enjoy online conferences for free. Besides chat, members of a conference are allowed screen sharing or participating in voice conferences. As far as document sharing in concerned, Acrobat.com offers users the possibility to embed the documents they have created on other sites or blogs. What is more, users are allowed to save as much as 5 gigabytes of information on the site.

Together with Acrobat.com, Adobe has launched Acrobat 9 as well. This new version allows people to embed flash movies to their PDF files. The software was designed to work together with Acrobat.com and special buttons allow users to save their documents online instantly.
