Announcement: Adobe to Discontinue Adobe SVG Viewer   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #56704 of 63018 |
Adobe has decided to discontinue support for Adobe SVG Viewer. There
are a number of other third-party SVG viewer implementations in the
marketplace, including native support for SVG in many Web browsers.
The SVG language and its adoption in the marketplace have both matured
to the point where it is no longer necessary for Adobe to provide an
SVG viewer.

SVG is an established vector image format. Adobe currently supports
SVG in several of its authoring and server products, including
Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, Version Cue, Graphics Server,
FrameMaker, and FrameMaker Server.

Adobe customer support for Adobe SVG Viewer will be discontinued on
January 1, 2007.

For more information on this decision and answers to questions about
the discontinuation of Adobe SVG Viewer, please see
