Download Adobe Reader XI 11.0.3

Adobe has released an update to version 11 of Acrobat. Downloads are available for Windows and OS X, in only a limited number of languages. Acrobat consists of the commercial package to create PDF documents and the free reader to be able to read them. With Reader it is now also possible to create simple PDF documents via an online tool. Version 11.0.3 is a scheduled quarterly update and includes the following changes and improvements:

Japanese support

• Automatic signature detection is supported.

EchoSign integration

• Acrobat and Reader now intelligently detect if a document may need to be signed. On successful detection, a document message bar appears with a button “Open Sign Pane” which on clicking opens the right-hand Sign Pane.
• Signature appearances can now be imported through the user’s webcam. Reader saves the signature for future use in signing workflows.
• Save a Copy: Allows the user to save the file locally or in cloud. The file will be renamed based on whether user signs the document or not.

digital signatures

• The product now supports allowing administrators to control trust for JavaScript execution for specific certificates through the use of cTrustCertifiedDocumentsByOIDs in HKCU and/or HKLM. If the values ​​in this registry preference match an OID in a certificate’s Extended Key Usage field, then that certificate is trusted.
