What’s New
Fill and Sign
- The Sign Pane was renamed to Fill & Sign and the three related panels were unified in this single view. Form fill-in and signing workflows are made more usable since the forms tools now appear along with the signing tools.
In Reader, the Fill & Sign Pane automatically opens when form fields are present.
The tool logic is enhanced so that form fill-in is always possible even if another tool is selected. Starting a typing action simply deselects other tools.
Enterprise configuration via registry and plist preferences:
- HKCU’s
AVAlert\bDonotShowFSSWarningDlg
set to 1 disables the Fill & Sign Alert dialog which appears when a user tries to use the service with a dynamic XFA form. Dynamic forms are currently unsupported.
- HKLM’s
cServices\bEnableSignPane
set to 0 removes the Fill & Sign Pane from the user interface.
- HKCU’s
Workflows\bEnableAcrobatHS
service’s master switch disables all features of the Fill & Sign Pane except for the Work with Certificates accordion. When forms are opened, the Fill & Sign Pane does not auto open.
See also Bug fixes.
Services integration
- Acrobat.com integration with Reader and Acrobat is now extended to all supported languages.
- Acrobat.com files are now cached locally. A new lockable preference
bEnableBHCache
allows admins to disable the feature.
- Adobe Send received several workflow improvements.
- See also Recent Files.
- See also Bug fixes for Webmail integration, Services integration, and others.
Recent files
- The startup screen displays a short list of recent files list and provides a View All link which opens the full list.
- Hove over the Menu icon to change how you view and sort your recent files list.
- The recent files list now contains up to 100 files. The default of 100 can be configured via the
iMaxMRUCntToBeStored
. A link to the full list also appears on the product’s startup Welcome screen.
Hi DPI and Retina support
- The Tools, Fill & Sign, and Comment panes are compatible with Hi DPI systems.
- See also Bug fixes.
Digital signatures
Improvements to certificate filtering.
The recent expansion of digital certificate usage has prompted Adobe to change the processing of Key Usage (KU) and Extended Key Usage (EKU) certificate extensions when performing digital signature creation in Acrobat products. This change means the following:
- Acrobat products better conform to RFC 5280 (Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile).
- Existing credentials (certificates) that do not adhere to the requirements described in the Digital Signatures Guide may no longer be used for signing within Acrobat or Reader. Invalid certificates no longer appear in the certificate drop down list in the Sign Document dialog.
PDF Creation
Added Support PDF creation for AutoCAD 2013 64-bit PDFMaker & Import Comments.
Fonts
The Hindi Devanagari font is added to the 11.x font bundle. This change results in 11.0.09 showing a dialog when the opening a PDF containing extended language fonts which asks if latest font pack for Windows or Mac should be installed.
