Adobe heeft versie 10.1.4 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 Security
This release provides mitigations for vulnerabilities described in the security bulletin. For details about security configuration, see the Application Security Guide.
Updates
Like Reader 10.1 and later, Acrobat 10.1.4 installs ARMsvc.exe as part of the Updater on Windows 7, Vista, and Server 2008, Acrobat 10.1.4. The new service enables silent and automatic updates on machines where a user has configured the application for automatic updates. The service eliminates information dialogs prior to updates. In enterprise settings, IT can use DISABLE_ARM_SERVICE_INSTALL=1 to prevent the installation of the ARM service.
Adobe online services
UI elements associated with Adobe online services integrated with the product are more visible in the Tools pane.
Reader’s Export PDF service now supports conversion to .doc and .rtf.
LiveCycle
Adobe Reader supports Mutual Authentication when LiveCycle Rights Management server has Mutual Authentication enabled. Mutual Authentication is also known as two-way SSL. By default, in SSL only server's certificate is validated. In the case of mutual authentication, the client also needs to authenticate via PKI for any communication with the server.
Prior to this release, Adobe Reader supports authentication to LC server via application layer authentication mechanisms like password, Kerberos and public key certificates. SSL is currently employed purely for LiveCycle server authentication/verification. SSL supports authentication of the client via client supplied certificates at the network layer. The feature uses this network layer information to authenticate Adobe Reader to the ALCRM server.
Help
The online help system is now accessible when the user is behind an authenticating proxy.Bug fixes
