Session Detail

Ever thought of putting a Flex application in a PDF so you can send it to someone? How about using Flex to interact with a form? Or even developing with Flex to create your own document browsing interface?

This session will take you through the latest way to deploy your Flex applications and rich media in PDF. You'll learn how to implement script bridging in Adobe Acrobat and Reader 9 and even take a look at creating custom PDF Portfolios, the latest way to view your document packages.

Flex truly is the only language you can use to customize your whole Adobe experience!
