Question
Why isn't Breeze Presenter sold seperately?
Breeze Presenter is an excellent tool that satisfies a common
and growing requirement in the market (publishing voice-over
presentations on websites). Unfortunately Breeze Presenter is
frustratingly hard to buy as Adobe has chosen to tie the Presenter
product to Breeze Communication Server, a product that is only sold
on a (significant) subscription basis, which makes Breeze Presenter
hard to use for the masses. You can buy Breeze Meeting on a
pay-as-you-go basis but you can't use Presenter with a
pay-as-you-go Breeze Meeting account (as there's nowhere to store
the presentation).
Given that Breeze Presenter is really just an "authoring tool" for authoring SWF content for Breeze (like the Flash IDE, Captivate and Authorware) why not sell it in the same way - as a stand-alone authoring tool?
It would be very cool to have the ability to publish SWFs of Powerpoint presentaitons that have voiceovers where you just publish the presentation as a SWF and delpoy the SWF onto Tomcat or IIS and you're done. (The Powerpoint equivalent of Flashpaper if you like.) You don't need Breeze Server for this simple requirement.
Or can you do this already?
