Adobe heeft versie 10.1.2 van Acrobat X uitgebracht. De update verschijnt voor Windows en Mac OS X in een groot aantal talen, waaronder de Nederlandse. Acrobat bestaat uit het commerciële pakket om pdf-documenten te creëren en de gratis Reader om ze te kunnen lezen. Met Reader is het tegenwoordig overigens ook mogelijk om via een online-tooltje eenvoudige pdf-documenten aan te maken. De releasenotes van deze update, waarvan de Nederlandse uitvoering op dit moment nog niet beschikbaar is, maken melding van de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen:
Improvements
Application SecurityExport from PDF
- This release provides mitigations for vulnerabilities described in the security bulletin at http://www.adobe.com/go/apsb12_01. Products with Protected Mode or Protected view enabled are not subject to these vulnerabilities.
Printing
- When a user chooses to convert a PDF to Word or Excel, a dialog offers the user the option to subscribe to the conversion service.
- The Export from PDF service now automatically recognizes text even if the original document was a scanned image.
Security Settings
- The print dialog has been improved. The new layout makes it easier to change the page orientation, print on both sides of the paper, print multiple pages on a single sheet, print over multiple sheets, and other tasks.
For more details about these and other security features, see the Application Security Guide.
Protected Mode and Protected View- Wild cards and privileged locations:
- Wild card handling for trusted hosts now conforms to the Cross Domain Specification.
- The error dialog for invalid trusted host names that use wildcards is improved.
- A new preference (cTrustedSitesPrivate) allows IT to permit less restrictive wildcard usage when specifying trusted hosts.
- bDisableTrustedFolders|Sites now removes Options button from YMB when disabled and locked.
- bDisableJavaScript in HKLM allows locking the JS engine off. An admin’s privileged location list in HKLM can bypass this restriction.
- The Win OS Security Zone setting in the Privileged locations panel now includes Local Intranet zones in addition to the current Trusted Sites zone. The product should assign trust as Internet Explorer does.
- LC Workspace XFA in Flex forms will now honor Win OS trust zone override.
- Multimedia security and trust: Multimedia trust is now integrated into the Trust Manager framework and the following changes have been made:
- The following UI items are removed from Preferences > Multimedia Trust (Legacy):
- Clear your list of trusted documents
- Display permissions for ( ) Trusted documents ( ) Other documents
- Legacy Multimedia trust (trust for media types that use a player other than the product’s) is now stored in the registry at cTrustManager\cMultiMedia rather than TMDocs.sav.
The following improvements and bug fixes have been made for the sandboxing feature on Windows:
- User credentials for Acrobat.com are cleared from the registry on sign out for users that have installed McAfee 8.8.
- Reader in protected mode is now compatible with Entrust software and Symantec PGP whole disk encryption.
- Blacklisted file extensions are respected when present in links.
- With Acrobat’s protected view enabled for All Files and Files from potentially unsafe locations, files in privileged locations now open outside of protected view.
- Acrobat performance is improved for form distribution workflows when a PDF is already open in PV.
- Acrobat: Acrobat now shows the 'Add reviewers'
