The release of Adobe Acrobat 8.1 has been announced by Lori DeFurio on her Adobe Blog. This minor release includes support for Windows Vista, Office 2007 and 64-bit Citrix and Windows environments. The update is apparently available as of today, but so far the check for updates function in my Acrobat installation hasn’t picked up anything.
There are no real surprises in this release, but there is a feature that might get some Outlook 2007 users excited. According to Lori:
“Now, when you open an email message in preview mode that has a PDF attachment – you see the PDF in the preview pane. You can view full page, or page width, and even navigate multi-page files.”
Cool.
I was amused by this comment in her post:
The 8.1 release works with Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Vista. Both PDF as a file format and Acrobat as an application are now “first class” citizens in these environments.
So the PDF file format is only a “first class” citizen of Vista, now that Adobe have got their act together, 4 months after the consumer release of Vista, and released a Vista compatible version of Acrobat 8? Tell’em they’re dreaming.
Adobe Reader 8.1 is also available as of today.
