#Adobe…friend or foe?
1 messages in this thread
If you are serious about professional desktop publishing on the Amiga you
are probably asking yourself why Adobe Systems has adopted a
not-on-your-life attitude toward support of the Amiga. I suggest a strongly
worded message be left on the Adobe section here on Compuserve. Make your
feelings and wishes clear.
I recently left a message asking why Adobe couldn't find their way clear to
provide the Amiga DTP comminity with downloadable fonts and a downloader in
Amiga format, and support for the Amiga's IFF in EPS format…something we
all need if we are ever to use EPSF clip art. I do not believe I am asking
too much. We aren't talking a whole lot of development costs here. I'm not
even suggesting that Adobe port any applications over to the Amiga…just
a smattering of data, a dab of information, a smidge of what could be
construed as support…almost.
It seems to me that their market may be shrinking, what with Apple dumping
postscript, and it appears really dumb to ignore a potential market for so
little an investment. IT IS EMCUMBENT ON US, THE AMIGA DPT COMMUNITY, TO
MAKE OUR WISHES KNOWN TO ADOBE SYSTEMS. After all, it did help the
situation with Wordperfect Corp. SPEAK UP!
