Opera press releases

Powered by Opera: Opera Integrated with Adobe Creative Suite 2

Oslo, Norway - April 04, 2005

Opera Software today announced that the Opera browser is now integrated in Adobe® Creative Suite 2. This complete design and publishing environment will use Opera as the engine for the majority of content manipulation, powering Adobe GoLive® CS 2, Adobe Photoshop® CS 2, and other components of Adobe Creative Suite 2. Opera has leveraged its cross-platform performance to join Adobe in helping developers create optimal Web pages for both desktop computers and mobile devices.

Today's announcement is the result of the two companies' ongoing joint effort and commitment to provide superior Web authoring tools.

Using the Adobe Creative Suite 2 with Opera, Web designers have the ability to view how Web page content will look on a small screen. Opera's acclaimed Small-Screen Rendering (SSR) technology reformats Web pages to fit the screen of mobile phones, eliminating horizontal scrolling. Web developers can now design their sites to be optimally viewed on any device, regardless of the screen size.

"Adobe Creative Suite 2 is a complete design environment that accelerates publishing workflows for print, the Web, and mobile platforms," said John Brennan, senior vice president of Creative Professional products at Adobe. "The advanced rendering technologies and open standards provided by Opera's advanced Web browser ensure that designers using Adobe Creative Suite 2 can create and realize their best work, for output online or to the latest handheld devices."

"We applaud Adobe for its foresight in meeting emerging industry trends," says Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "A modern browser can be used for more than browsing. Adobe takes full advantage of Opera's high-performance, standards-compliant rendering engine."
