LiveCycle® Mobile ES2 just released for the Apple iPad
Hello again. We’ve recently come back from winter break here at Adobe, and we’ve hit the ground running: a native iPad version of our LiveCycle Mobile ES2 application is now available on the Apple App Store!
This follow-up to our existing LiveCycle Mobile ES2 app brings support for the iPad’s larger screen, giving tablet-equipped enterprise users more elbow room to approve tasks, capture information in the field, and access documents while on the road.
With LiveCycle Mobile ES2, enterprises can offer employees the ability to interact with content, applications, and customers where they choose—by providing remote task approvals, mobile content on demand, and on-site data capture. It’s some of Adobe’s most powerful LiveCycle ES capabilities all in your pocket!
Enterprises can increase employee productivity by giving workers access to information when they are away from the office—on a customer call or during downtime when traveling. LiveCycle Mobile ES2 allows you to complete or add data and make decisions in real time, minimizing bottlenecks and wait times.
LiveCycle Mobile ES2 brings together task processing capabilities, first released in 2009 as LiveCycle Workspace ES2 Mobile, with powerful data capture features which, deployed effectively, could allow field service technicians to fill out repair orders, or sales personnel to create sales orders, right on their customers’ doorsteps. Capturing images as part of a business workflow is also supported*, so that insurance claims agents, for example, could take pictures of damaged property directly with their smartphone as part of the claims process in the field, without having to worry about lugging around a laptop, attaching a camera, etc.
The iOS version of the LiveCycle Mobile application also features the ability for users to browse WebDAV content repositories including Adobe’s own LiveCycle ES Content Services and Microsoft’s Sharepoint 2010—downloading, viewing and sharing content and documents, such as product collateral, with customers and clients. This capability was first made available in the LiveCycle Content Services Mobile app, released in 2010.
Adobe understands that the ‘consumerization of IT’ has pushed enterprises to support multitudes of mobile devices, and LiveCycle Mobile ES2 is now available on all major mobile platforms, including Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, and iOS. The application is offered at no charge on all of the major platform application stores, but, of course, requires an installation of LiveCycle ES to be effective within an enterprise.
We’re not standing still, either…this is just the first of a number of exciting developments you can expect to see from Adobe in regards to enterprises and ‘mobile’ in 2011…stay tuned!!

Visit with JP Pettines: former educator Univ of Philippines-JEDI
1/25/2011
Old Friends from the Java Community & JEDI
Lots of my former community folks, Java User Group leaders, were in San Francisco Area this week. One of my former Java Champions stopped by to chat with me at the San Jose Adobe office. John Paul “JP” Pettines was interested on how my life as a Community Manager @Adobe was shaping up. (It’s almost been a year, now) “JP” was part of a team of educators that founded a software education program at the University of the Philippines in Manila called the Java Education Development Initiative or (JEDI).
JP is a community guy. He and Rommel Feria founded one of the largest university student Java User Groups in the Philippines. And together, they have touched thousands of students thru their work on JEDI. JEDI was originally created out of a need for the University system in the Philippines to revamp their old curriculum based on Microsoft .NET. JP and Rommel were part of a team financed by Sun Microsystems and content provided by their Java Evangelists. The effort helped modernize the Philippine University computer-science curriculum; and, it was centered around a set of open-source “Creative Commons” course-ware modules. Ones that could be easily updated without having to pay royalties to a certain software company. JEDI is once again going thru a transition now that Sun Microsystems has become part of Oracle.
Where’s the Innovation happening?
“JEDI” — that’s not what JP was here in San Jose to talk to me about. He wanted to know what was going-on and changing in the technology space. How “Innovation” with mobile phones and tablets might affect his career-path and the students back in the Philippines. I didn’t have to look very far in what Adobe has been doing with our Partners at RIM, Motorola, Google, and Samsung in the new “app economy” with Flash/Flex/AIR/Creative Suite. I reflected with JP on how some Java folks we both knew might be able to bring their disciplined skills on creating large scalable applications/enterprises to mobile devices and TV’s…create compelling business apps. JP, being a former educator, also took an interest in the online webinars (TechWed) that we do for our User Group Communities. ” What are you using to deliver that content?….that is so cool!”, JP commented. I pointed out that Adobe uses the Adobe Connect e-learning software to deliver technology topics to its User Group Communities. We also talked about how emerging markets like Philippines and Brazil have long been using online education to help their countryman get the basic skills to compete in a global economy. And rather than outsourcing to other countries and companies, instead government organizations are engaging in large socio-economic programs like JEDI or JEDI-Brasil to do studenet developer outreach in their own country (Example: Rybena an app developed by a User Group, would make a great mobile App). Indeed, I also hope to meet Daniel deOliveira from DFJUG Brasilia who is also in town for the JUG meetings to talk to him Rybena.
It was great seeing “JP”. As JP was leaving he told one of my coworkers outside my office: “Even though Aaron, is now part of Adobe’s community team — We still miss him for what he did for us in Java…Adobe User Groups are really lucky to have, Aaron helping them…. a trip to SF area wouldn’t be complete without a visit with Aaron”.
Thanks JP, glad I could oblige; and, I hope to see you in Toronto for Flash-in-the-City Event in May. — Aaron Houston (“thisishouston1″ on twitter)
Do rapid DITA authoring in FrameMaker 10!
Hello Framers,
Hope you are well. First of all, I wanted to share with you my twitter handle. For those of you on twitter, you can follow me on Twitter at @KapilVermaAdobe to keep up-to-date on what’s going on in the FrameMaker world. I will also be tweeting about upcoming events and my travel plans so that we can meet in person. Please follow me on twitter if you would like to get this information.
In my blog post today, I am going to be describing several productivity enhancements related to DITA authoring in FrameMaker10. Through these enhancements, you can author DITA content faster and more efficiently in FrameMaker10. As always, remember to turn your computer speakers on while watching the videos.
1. Drag and Drop Across Maps
Rather than cut and paste topicref elements between maps, they can be reorganized by using drag and drop.

2. Insert Multiple Topicref Elements in a DITA Map
More than one <topicref> element can be added to a DITA map at the same time.

3. Support for <topicgroup> and <topicset> elements
Topic groups allow you to gather topics together, optionally giving the group a title. Topic sets allow you to single source groups of topics between maps

4. Switch to Resource Manager (RM) or Document View in a DITA map
Change between two primary views of a map in only one click. Both the Resource Manager View and the Document View provide value when working with a DITA map. Switching between them is as simple as clicking a toolbar icon.

Hope you will find these enhancements useful and find that they make your more productive in your daily work.
Until the next blog post….
Have a nice weekend,
