Adobe has released a new version of it's popular Adobe Acrobat Reader product (freeware software that allows you to view, print, and save - but not create - pdf files on Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems), version 7.0.
This new version of Acrobat Reader is reportedly VERY much faster in respect to launch times than previous versions. This is one thing I've always hated about Adobe Acrobat reader...you doubleclick a pdf file and it takes 30 seconds to a minute just to view it. For this reason, I've historically stuck to .txt and .rtf files, as Notepad and Wordpad take no time at all to open. Apparently Adobe took this issue into consideration when they released the new version of Reader, and it supposedly launches much much quicker.
The new version also adds extended searching capabilities...allowing you to search in bookmarks, metadata, or the pdf itself, whether open or searching all pdf files on your local harddrive.
Here is the full feature-set/changel-log for version 7.0 from Adobe's site:QUOTEQuicker launch times
Open PDF files faster than ever.
Extended commenting capability
Conveniently add comments to documents in e-mail-based reviews when this capability is enabled in Adobe Reader by Adobe Acrobat® 7.0 Professional software.
Powerful interaction with documents and forms
Review and add comments, apply digital signature and stamps, and save locally filled-in forms when this capability is enabled by Adobe LiveCycle™ Reader Extensions software.
New saving options for attachments
Detach and locally save attachments to PDF files.
Free Yahoo! toolbar
Get the free Yahoo! toolbar with Pop-Up Blocker.
Expanded search capabilities
Search for words in annotations, bookmarks, form fields, or metadata within open PDF files or any PDF file on local machines.
Photo viewing and sharing
Display and share Adobe Photoshop® Album slide shows and electronic cards, and export images for online photo processing. (Online photo services vary regionally.)
Better selection tool
Rapidly select text and images using the enhanced selection tool.
