On a good note, Adobe Acrobat 9 seems to run faster and has a few compiler/at-link-time
security features enabled (
ASLR and
DEP).
On a bad note, they have opened up new vectors that can be exploited due to the new playback of Flash content.
You can download the new version
here.
Overall, I'm still undecided whether or not I will use this or keep using
Foxit Reader. For now, both are installed on my primary OS.
I'm still waiting for a software company to come out with a new version of a product and just advertise that it "sucks less" and "does everything we said it would the last version". It would be some refreshing honesty from the marketing droids, but I doubt I'll ever see it happen. I'm just hoping the Earth doesn't become like the state of the Earth in the movie
Wall-E. That was utterly depressing.
