Adobe and Dropbox partner to make it easier to access PDFs

Adobe and Dropbox is now offering a more seamless way to access PDF files to and from Dropbox and Adobe Acrobat Reader. It's available now on desktop and Mac so you can now open PDFs you have stored in your Dropbox right from Adobe apps. The edits you make on these files will automatically be synced on your Dropbox. This also makes it easier to share with collaborators by trimming down some of the steps. iOS integration is coming soon so you'll be able to open PDFs with Acrobat Reader mobile app and edit right from there. The file will also be synced with Dropbox from there. Android integration is coming a bit later though. It's slated for a 2016 release.

Security issues plaguing Flash cause Google, Mozilla to disable software

Adobe’s Flash software has made powerful enemies throughout the years. One being Steve Jobs, who refused to let Flash be made available on Apple’s devices, and fairly recently, Facebook’s top security executive Alex Stamos called for Adobe to discontinue Flash. Now, old versions of Adobe Flash are being blocked on Mozilla’s Firefox and Google’s Chrome browsers after discovering that hackers were using a security bug to hack into other people’s computers.

Leaked documents from Hacking Team, an Italian firm that sells digital surveillance tools to governments, showed they were able to exploit a flaw in Flash. Other hackers who caught sight of this document started to use it as well.

Adobe drops Photoshop Touch for Creative Cloud

Adobe plans to discontinue its Photoshop Touch app to focus on developing Creative Cloud starting May 28. This suite of mobile apps is designed to flesh out its powerful desktop tools into various apps like Brush CC, Color CC, Shape CC, etc. This also ties in with Adobe’s Creative Cloud subscription service that makes it easier to sync edits between apps and devices. The apps are available for free download but if you want to use its cloud storage, then you’ll have to pay.
