Arbitrator
Pro fuses the power of PDF and Flash to
create Living Manuals and Browserless Web
Pages.
Kelowna BC, Canada July
27, 2007 - Tech You Digital Media today
announced the release of Arbitrator Pro,
a new software product that gives PC users
of Adobe Acrobat the full capabilities
of Flash and provides the embedded Flash
Movies the full power of PDF documents.
Acrobat Pro allows end-users
to control PDF documents through coding
in a Flash Movie, or control the Flash Movie
from the PDF.
"By bringing together
the world of PDF and Flash through Arbitrated
scripting the real promise of electronic
publishing finally emerges," says Arbitrator
Pro developer and architect, Craig Bowman.
"With Arbitrator Pro you can make 'Living
Manuals and Curriculum' as well as web pages
which can search each other, update their
pages from a remote database, access live
streaming information which is connected
to the page content and have it also control
where and what you see in the document".
Arbitrator Pro does not create
PDF documents or Flash movies, but allows
these two applications to communicate flawlessly.
"Think of it as two people speaking
different languages," explains Bowman.
"Arbitrator Pro is the interpreter
that allows PDF and Flash to talk to and
understand each other."
The ability to create Living Manuals through
Arbitrator Pro opens up a new world of electronic
publishing. Brochures, catalogues, instruction
manuals, educational materials can now have
Flash movies embedded into the PDF with
end user controls. These Flash movies can
be advertisements, set-by-step-instructions,
demonstrations, product overviews etc. Since
Arbitrator Pro can access remote data bases,
the end user will always have the latest,
most up-to-date version of that document,
catalogue or manual, saving time and money
on publishing and distribution.
The convergence of Flash as
a media tool is gaining prominence in digital
media and initial reaction to Arbitrator
Pro beta testing has been positive: "WOW!!!
Craig, you are a genius!" states Michael
Geary, formerly of Adobe Systems Inc. "The
sheer level of ingenuity you've shown here
is just astounding".
Browserless Web Pages:
Arbitrator Pro also allows
developers to create dynamic web content
in the PDF format, essentially creating
a browserless web site. No coding or html
scripting is required. Pages accessed via
the internet or email links are automatically
opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
These pages can be linked, featuring full
functioning flash navigation and content.
Access to remote data-base content thru
Arbitrator Pro will always keep the site
current and up-to-date. The web pages have
full search capabilities along with the
full security that PDF documents offer.
Unlike traditional web pages, Arbitrator
Pro PDF web pages are fully scaleable and
can be resized without the content and page
layout being affected.
Features of Arbitrator Pro:
o Control any SWF Movie in
an Acrobat 8 PDF Document.
(more)

an embedded SWF Movie.
