Adobe renews deal with Opera to include browser in Adobe Creative Suite
Published August 1st, 2006 11:07 PM EDT By Daniel GoldmanAdobe today renewed its deal with Opera to integrate the Opera browser in Adobe Creative Suite (CS) 2.
The Opera browser is used as the rendering engine in the design and publishing environment that powers Adobe GoLive CS 2, Adobe Photoshop CS 2, and other components of Adobe Creative Suite 2.
This version of Opera also includes the ability to view how webpage content will look on a small screen, using Opera’s Small-Screen Rendering (SSR) technology, which reformats webpages to fit the screen of mobile phones, eliminating need for horizontal scrolling.
The initial agreement with Opera was signed in April of 2002 2005.
In addition to the revenue from licensing the core browser, Opera also benefits a lot by the fact that websites developed using the Adobe Creative Suite are standard compliant, thus making sure it renders properly in the Opera browser. Opera announced last week that it was working on integrating web developer tools into the browser, which would further help with webpage compatibility issues facing alternative browsers.
Correction (8/4/2006): I was just made aware that this deal is not yet final, but is expected to be signed in the coming days. Also, the initial deal was signed in 2002, not 2005.
