Apple's iPad: Adobe works with publishers to create apps without Flash

Apple's iPad: Adobe works with publishers to create apps without Flash - San Jose Mercury News

Apple may have banned Adobe Systems' Flash platform from its iPhone and iPad, but Adobe isn't abandoning the Cupertino computer maker's popular mobile devices.

The San Jose maker of graphic design and Internet software today announced the availability of new digital viewer technology that lets publishers use its InDesign software to create apps for Apple's iPad.

Adobe worked with magazine giant Condé Nast, publisher of Wired, to create the new viewer technology.

"Our partnership with Adobe allowed us to reimagine and rebuild a print issue into an amazing digital magazine experience on iPad," Thomas J. Wallace, editorial director of Condé Nast, said in a statement released by Adobe.

Wired has created a $4.99-a-copy app for the iPad starting with its June issue.
