Crocodoc (YC W10) Sets Its Sights On Adobe Acrobat With New Update

  • Finally! Now ... umm ... certain people I know won't have to pirate stupid Acrobat. I hate that program.

    The funny thing is that Adobe could probably make the same thing in about three weeks, but they won't because they hate change.

  • This is exactly what I've been looking for -- I've been trying to find a way to collaboratively edit a draft PDF of a newsletter, without dumping a lot of money on Acrobat.

  • This kind of evolution to the cloud is inevitable, I'm glad to see a team making it happen for a piece of software that is so essential to business.

  • Hmm, they're taking a bit of a risk with being flash-based for pdf-export. Hitting your platform vendor for one of their (presumably) cash cows is asking for a response.

  • Hm, a bit slow on my top of line MacBook Pro, Chrome, latest Flash... just trying to draw on a small PDF...

  • Very encouraging. I tried to "print to PDF" a sample doc I had been plying with, but it just reported some unnamed error.

    Assuming that sort of stuff gets fixed and polished up, this site solves a few real problems for me.

  • Looks good! Are notes added on the site compatible with Acrobat Reader, though?
