Adobe Backs Down

As promised, Adobe announced its decision on August 1 on how it would respond to the concerns of the printing industry. To the surprise of many, the company said it would remove the “Send to FedEx Kinko’s” service and functionality from the latest versions of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat.

The decision followed a forum Adobe hosted in San Francisco during which a dozen industry representatives, including two from the in-plant sector, expressed their strong objections to the FedEx Kinko’s link appearing on Reader and Acrobat.
