Adobe releases 8.1 update for Reader, Acrobat for Vista
Acrobat Standard, Professional and Reader have just received the Windows Vista update treatment this week with a new 8.1 update. The 8.1 Adobe update also features new hooks into Office 2007.
“Customers running Vista have an expectation about how applications will look and behave in the Vista environment,” says Marion Melani, group product marketing manager for Acrobat. “Acrobat 8.1 will meet their expectations.”
Other feature highlights making their debut in Acrobat and Reader 8.1:
* PDF printer driver in Vista supports improved PDF creation.
* PDFMaker updated for Office 2007
* Option to create “Quick and Simple PDFs” from Word 2007
* Mac OS X version now includes Flash MPP, which improves support for Flash files with multimedia on Mac OS
* InDesign Plug-In update supports communication with InDesign for Creative Suites 3
* Direct render of dynamic forms
* Update integrates online FedEx Kinko’s PDF printing
Both the Acrobat and Reader 8.1 updates enable online print-on-demand of PDF documents with one click from Acrobat and Reader. A joint project Adobe developed in conjunction with FedEx Kinko’s, the “Send to FedEx Kinko’s” button in Acrobat and Reader connects to the FedEx Kinko’s Print Online app, which sets up online uploads for printing and shipping documents online. The company also will make “Send to FedEx Kinko’s” a choice in the File menu later in June.
The FedEx Kinko’s software is a print-on-demand job manager that enables combining multiple files into one job; customizing jobs with tabs and inserts; previewing orders; tracking job status; shipping/pickup; and payment options at any U.S. Kinko’s Office and Print Center the user chooses. For now, the service is supported in English only.
