Acrobat Reader 7.0 Released 


Adobe has released Acrobat Reader 7.0. Included in this version is something that was lacking from the Mac for quite some time: An official browser plugin for viewing PDFs. Unlike the ridiculously priced ($69 - are they on crack??) PDF Browser Plugin, this one is official and allows basically all viewer functionality. This includes the newly-added ability to fill in and print/save PDF forms - something that was previously only available with the full version of Acrobat.

Something else you might find interesting - the load time has been dramatically reduced - it's almost usable now as a day-to-day reader of PDFs. Something that wasn't possible before. It's not as fast as Preview, but much, much better.
