Adobe Extensions

From Svg wiki

Adobe SVG Viewer 6.0 Preview Release one is available (Win32 only, currently) for developers to experiment with. It's pre-alpha, though, so it's not yet even feature complete, so there are still bugs. And all of the SVG 1.2 specification features that are supported are experimental and subject to change.

However, ASV6 comes with an "Implementation White Paper.html" file which contains lots of useful information about what features of the SVG spec are implemented in which versions of ASV. The document also describes the Adobe extensions that have until this point only been sparsely documented in user forum postings.

The implementation white paper is probably the best place to start for documentation on ASV


Two useful older documents are:

See [Adobe SVG Viewer distribution] in Adobe Products for Product information about ASV distribution in Adobe Applications.
