Adobe has partnered with Yahoo to offer contextual ads within PDFs. According to Adobe's Press Room, "The new service allows publishers to generate revenue by including contextual, text-based ads next to Adobe PDF content, with Yahoo! providing access to its extensive network of advertisers to match a broad range of subject matter. For advertisers, Ads for Adobe PDF Powered by Yahoo! extends reach by delivering advertising across a new channel of content, while also providing the ability to track advertising performance, just as they can today with ads placed on Websites."

Don't let the title of this book fool you! There is so much more here than just Inkjet Tips! So much, in fact, that Andrew Darlow should consider a new title when the inevitable second edition comes out!

I came across this book after hearing an interview with Andrew on Scott Shepard 's Inside Digital Photo podcast. When he started to explain what was in the book I really took notice and ordered it immediately. I originally expected the usual collection of tips and tricks to make your inkjet prints better but Andrew's interview had me expecting more.

Adobe has released the latest update to Photoshop Lightroom. Now at version 1.3, several areas have been addressed. While none are earth-shattering, Adobe has taken the time to implement subtle changes based on user experience. Dig a little and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I spotted this post over at Beedigital and just had to click on the link to check out Adobe flash on. After spending just a few minutes on it, I wanted to help spread the word so here I am writing this post. I’m going to dig deeper, but it looks like the short explanation of it (my own explanation anyway) is that it’s a video portal where you can choose different categories of videos to watch. With categories like horror, animation, lifestyle, hd, action, comedy and several others, there’s plenty of video there to keep you entertained for a good while. Check it out when you have a few minutes.

This falls outside my blogging mandate here at DFW/AUG, but i got started in this business 15 years ago with Authorware, so seeing an eSeminar called "Adobe Panel Webinar on Solutions for Authorware Users" stings a little:

Which IDE is better for AIR development? Andy Powell builds an AIR application in HTML and JavaScript, then compares his experience with Dreamweaver to his experience with Aptana.

For my fellow Adobe enthusiasts currently holding fort on an Apple computer, you may want to give a moments pause before upgrading to the new Mac operating system dubbed "Leopard." According to Adobe's Leopard FAQ, while most CS3 products are supported prior suites, e.g., CS & CS2 may experience glitches which will not be supported.

For those that choose to upgrade to Leopard, take note that Acrobat 8 will need to be updated to version 8.1.2. This release patch is scheduled for January 2008. Adobe's video suite of products, e.g., Premiere, Encore, Soundbooth, will be patched in December 2007. Photoshop Lightroom 1.2 has not been given the green light under Leopard, and no patch dates have been released.
