Adobe is becoming more active in desktop Linux. The Linux beta version for Adobe Reader 7 isn't a surprise. That's an area where the company faces a challenge from drafting-software maker Autodesk.Īlso Wednesday, Adobe released its LiveCycle Policy Server software, which lets organizations govern which users may read, modify, print, save or e-mail PDF files. The idea is to make Adobe's software a more useful tool for exchanging electronic documents such as forms or purchase orders.Īcrobat 7 Professional also includes upgrades for publishing technical documents such as architectural and engineering documents. With version 7, the free Adobe Reader software can be used to add comments and make modifications to PDF files-as long as the original PDF creator permits it and uses the Professional version.
In addition, Adobe changed the name of Acrobat Reader to Adobe Reader.
Adobe Systems has released version 7 of its Acrobat software for creating PDF files, with upgraded collaboration features, and is working on a beta version of its free Adobe Reader 7 for Linux.Īcrobat Version 7, released Wednesday, comes in two versions, the $299 Standard edition for most people who want to create a PDF, or portable document format, files, and the $449 Professional edition with some higher-end features.
