“Adam” Is A Tool For Mashing PDFs With Videos, Photos, etc. and Publishing The Results
Adam, currently in beta, looks like a great non-programmers mashup tool for normally bringing normally static PDFs to life. According to the ReadWriteWeb:
Don't you hate it when you click a link only to discover it wasn't a web page, but a slow-loading PDF instead? Maybe it's time for publishers to find something to do with those PDFs that makes them a lot more interesting and engaging for their site's users. A new mashup tool called Adam (Beta) can help. It lets you take static files like PDFs and images and mash them up with web content like HTML and multimedia. Adam then provides you with an embed code so you can display these new remixed files on your web site.
The mashup "site" apparently works with YouTube, flickr, metacafe, Veoh, vimeo, and imeem.

Sounds interesting and I certainly like the idea of extending PDFs. I’m sure Adobe likes it too. One thing though is the size of the PDF. I’ve found PDFs that are anything other than static content (eg. PDF forms etc.) tend to be extremely bloated in terms of their size.
