Adobe Contribute CS5 Student and Teacher Edition [MAC]

Adobe Contributor CS5 software boosts creative web development with new features such as native XML file editing, image hotspot definition, cross-browser preview and compare.

Its HTML editor and in-browser editing, SPRY widget editing environment give content authors the capability to drag and drop FLV, SWF, and PDF files directly into pages, as well as advanced text-and image-editing tools.

Features:

True WYSIWYG web authoring
Enable content authors to see the results of their edits and additions instantly with enhanced CSS rendering, without writing code or knowing HTML. Contribute immediately updates edits to XML content and Spry widgets.

Collaborative publishing
Establish collaborative workflow processes to author, review, and publish content. Define different review paths at the template level, whether a single approval for an internal web page or multiple sign-offs for a public page.

Predefined content types
Define content types that specify the design template and review process that will be used automatically when a new page is created for that content type. Content type can be HTML or XML.

XML file editing
Edit XML file content without opening an XML editor. Easily update Spry data sets and other pages that render content from XML files or dynamic XML-based sites by editing the corresponding XML file.

Rich media support
Easily drag and drop images, FLV and SWF files, or PDF documents into your web pages. Contribute automatically uploads the dependent files to the web server when the pages are published in predefined locations.

Dynamic website editing
Add content to dynamic websites powered by Movable Type, TypePad, or WordPress. Simply define the Contribute connection with the proper settings, and site content is instantly available for updating.

Cross-browser preview
Verify the look and feel of updated pages in multiple browsers. Preview edited pages in any installed browser. Windows users can view three browsers simultaneously for side-by-side comparison.

Publish to websites and blogs
Publish with a single click to a wide variety of websites or blogs. Contribute is the one web authoring tool that supports FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, MetaWeblog, and Atom protocols.

In-browser editing
Allow authors to edit pages directly in a web browser with no need to open another application. The Contribute CS5 in-browser editor supports most browsers, including Firefox 3 and 3.5 and Internet Explorer 7 and 8.

Simultaneous shared reviews
Enable multiple reviewers to comment on drafts simultaneously with in-context collaboration tools for faster and more effective web publishing cycles.
