F/U to Acrobat 9 Post Below: Cr@p in Cr@p - JoeM - 06-02-2008
Ugh! Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse:
"...Flash in Your PDF
Adobe completed its acquisition of Macromedia, the developer of Flash, in December 2005, but this is the first time it has integrated the interactive technology into its Acrobat software. The move keeps Acrobat's PDF up with the times, as video has become an increasingly important way to communicate information. Software documentation, for example, could include embedded Flash videos demonstrating how to use the software.
"As the market gets used to the idea of Flash being in documents, people will start using it in new and different ways," King said. Another intriguing use will be in advertising material, he added. "Acrobat 9 may allow users to create hybrid forms of advertising blending old-school and new-school advertising features." ..."

What I'm not liking is entire web interfaces built on Flash - top to bottom, around every corner, flash-based. I understand the need to be fresh and interactive, but on the web? I'm just not ready for it...
Now, the generation just entering the web programming business. That's another story. I'm sure that's the first thing they're gong to start building in.

I doubt it, Jeff.
The hatred is pervasive (and justified, IMHO).
