Adobe Unveils Digital Viewer Technology for Magazines

Adobe Systems, Inc. unveiled a new digital viewer technology that enables print publishers to create digital versions of their magazines. This new publishing software was developed with input from Condé Nast's WIRED magazine, a publication that recently debuted a digital edition for Apple iPad, utilizing the new digital viewer technology. WIRED's June issue Reader application, now available through the Apple iTunes App Store, is built using Adobe's digital viewer software.

With engaging, interactive features and a fresh navigational metaphor, the WIRED Reader showcases the capabilities of Adobe's new digital viewer technology, allowing readers to experience video content, slide-shows, 360 degree images and rotate content in vertical and horizontal modes. The WIRED Reader takes advantage of the tablet form factor and enables readers to explore magazine content using touch gestures, including a zoomed-out browse mode, to see the content of the issue at a glance. Readers are able to experience the design fidelity of a print magazine, with the dynamic interactivity of digital media. The WIRED Reader can be downloaded from Apple iTunes App Store and costs $4.99.
