This release is a planned update for all platforms. The latest updates are always available through the product’s update mechanism as well as from the enterprise FTP site. Full installers for some languages are available from the FTP site and the Reader Download Center.
Improvements
Items preceded by numbers are bug fixes.
Security
Security hardening and expanded sandbox support occurs with each release. Other changes include:
- Update blacklisted file extensions in HKLM’s
FeatureLockDown\cDefaultLaunchAttachmentPerms\tBuiltInPermList.
- Support for Enhanced Protected Mode in Internet Explorer.
- 3302756 Active content (such as JS, JAVA, and Flash) is blocked for HTML portfolio previews when Protected Mode is enabled.
Energy usage
Acrobat product enhancements include redesigns that reduce the amount of energy consumed by certain features, thereby potentially extending a device’s battery life. Additional improvements in this area are targeted for future releases.
Signatures
A new preference has been added that specifies whether the addressbook.acrodata file should be imported during a new install. The address book contains the certificate details used in signature workflows. Prior versions only allowed turning the feature off and on, and it was not possible to import certificate data silently. Thus, admins could not deploy new versions without having end users see the import dialog. Setting iImportAddressBook to 2 now enables the silent import of address books.
For configuration details, see the Preference Reference.
