Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 Software
by Gazza on Jun.01, 2010, under Free Downloads, Top Downloads
Adobe Reader is a small application that lets you read and print from any system any document created as an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file, complete with its original appearance preserved.
PDF files are small and compact they can be shared, viewed, navigated, and printed exactly as the author intended by anyone with Adobe Reader.
The newest version of this indispensable product doesn’t introduce revolutionary changes.
It simply keeps up with Acrobat Professional and Standard.
Adding the ability to play back embedded multimedia files in MP3, QuickTime, Macromedia Flash, Real, and Windows Media formats, as well as to submit Adobe PDF forms.
It replaces some of the icons in the default interface with optional, dockable toolbars.
You should install this now before a Website you visit prompts you to download it, because you’ll need it.
February 2009 warning
Adobe released a Security Bulletin announcing Javascript vulnerabilities.
US-CERT recommended users change two default preferences in the program:
- Disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Acrobat JavaScript can be disabled in the General preferences dialog (Edit, Preferences, JavaScript, and un-check “Enable Acrobat JavaScript”).
- Disable the displaying of PDF documents in the web browser. This can be disabled in the General preferences dialog (Edit, Preferences, Internet, and un-check “Display PDF in browser”).
For users of Internet Explorer, US-CERT recommended changing an additional default behavior:
- Prevent Internet Explorer from automatically opening PDF documents (by editing a registry key in Microsoft Windows).
January 2010 Google/China Incident
It was reported on January 14, 2010 that an analyst identified a vulnerability in Internet Explorer as a tool used to spy on companies and individuals.
“…independent research conducted by security firm McAfee, which has found evidence that a vulnerability in Internet Explorer—but not Acrobat Reader—was exploited in the attack. iDefense later retracted its claim about PDFs, but stands behind the rest of its report.”

- OCR PDFs (Paper Capture) using ClearScan. Adobe ClearScan technology creates custom Type1-CID fonts to match the visual appearance of a scanned document after optical character recognition (OCR). ClearScan does not replace the fonts with your system fonts or substitute them by Type1-MM (as in Acrobat 8 and earlier versions), but uses these newly created custom fonts. The custom fonts are embedded in the PDF file (this is obviously mandatory). If the OCR does not recognize a word with enough confidence, then the image (bitmap) of the word is shown in the PDF and the text is put above but hidden (same as what is made in “Searchable Image” mode).
- Adobe Reader 9 drops support for Adobe Reader Extensions 5 and 6 which permit Adobe Reader client software to save changes to filled-in forms in PDFs. Adobe Reader Extensions 6.1 and newer are still supported. Legacy PDFs will still be viewable, however they will open with the warning “This document enables Reader capabilities that are no longer enabled in this Reader version.”

- June 9, 2009, update version 9.1.2 was released which addresses a number of critical security vulnerabilities.
- July 31, 2009, update version 9.1.3 was released which addresses a number of critical security vulnerabilities.
- October 14, 2009, Adobe Acrobat 9.2 was released (added support for Windows 7 x86/x64 and fixed many security issues).

I smoked for most of my life. I understand it affects my health therefore I wish to quit smoking however it is almost impossible. None of the stopping aids did the trick. Then I stumbled on the e-cigs. It has practically made all the difference. No more inhaling and exhaling poisons feels extraordinary!
