Dreamweaver uses Opera’s Small-Screen Rendering technology to preview webpages for mobile phones

By Daniel Goldman


As I mentioned in late March, the new Adobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3) application includes a built-in rendering engine of the Opera browser. Opera’s rendering engine is for the majority of content manipulation, powering Adobe GoLive, Adobe Photoshop, and other components of CS3.
One of the neat components that uses Opera is Dreamweaver with Adobe Device Central (follow link for video demo). Adobe uses Opera’s Small-Screen Rendering technology to preview and test the appearance, performance, and behavior of webpage in a mobile environment.
Opera’s Small-Screen Rendering (SSR) technology shrinks text and images of webpage to fit the small screens of mobile phones, thus eliminating the need for a horizontal scrollbar. Learn more about this technology here.
