Announcing Adobe Reader X

[lalalawawawa]

It's about time - there is currently no release of Acrobat that supports Office 2010 (RTM was just over 6 months ago).

It seems Adobe has no plans to fix Acrobat 9's support, so anyone who wants to use the PDFMaker plugin with Office 2010 will have to upgrade to Acrobat X.

What do you mean? Office has the option to save things as PDF files.

POS? It's still the PDF reader that renders documents with highest quality afaik. It's also very fast at rendering pages. Yeah, it has lots of security holes, but other PDF readers have had that too, like Foxit. The upcoming Adobe Reader will have a "sandbox" mode, which should be safe if they do it right.

That's the first I've heard of any Sandbox mode but it does sound promising given Adobe software is arguably the biggest attack vector in Windows at the moment. ?Also, fixt!

That's true, but the support is fairly basic. Acrobat's PDFMaker plugin preserves hyperlinks, maintains document structure by converting styles to PDF bookmarks, and in general offers a much finer level of control over how the PDF is created (including how images should be compressed, etc.).

Support for WP7 is nice, maybe flash isn't too far behind as well.

forget flash as it's buggy.

True, you got a point there. :)

That and PDFMaker allows you to pull in e-mail attachments with the email itself into the single PDF file. Had to downgrade one of our customers because they use this feature all the time.
