Comments on: Is “Digital Editions Add-In” the Apollo framework? http://renaun.com/blog/2006/10/is-digital-editions-add-in-the-apollo-framework/ My ideas on the web and mobile application/game technologies Sat, 27 Jun 2015 02:02:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Renaun Ericksonhttp://renaun.com/blog/2006/10/is-digital-editions-add-in-the-apollo-framework/#comment-8821 Renaun Erickson Sun, 29 Oct 2006 15:43:50 +0000 http://renaun.com/blog/2006/10/28/140/#comment-8821 I went ahead and answered some of my questions, but I am still a little confused about some details.

The DE Add-In installs a special Flash Player, per the FAQ.

My player version comes back as 9,0,18,60. I originally had the beta FP installed (9.0.21.75) so I assume DE overrode that player.

So what features did the special FP (9,0,18,60) include?

FAQ says – “includes PDF and XHTML-based document viewing and local file management capabilities.”

This sounds a lot like Apollo, I am confused. I know its not the Apollo framework but its a specialized player that is a lot like Apollo?

So DE is not a Apollo application, then what is the DE Add-In that modifies the Flash Player…. straight from the FAQ

Why do I need to install the Adobe Digital Editions Add-In?

In order to use Adobe Digital Editions you must install the Digital Editions Add-In. It is a special version of Adobe Flash Player that includes PDF and XHTML-based document viewing and local file management capabilities.

Whats the version number of the player?
Does it override my standalone version? my browser version FP?

Digital Editions is not an Apollo application and the project is not related to Apollo, aside from the fact that it employs Flash and PDF technology.

Thanks,
