New in Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.3 / 9.5.1 (Apr 11, 2012)

  • New Security Ratings:
  • 
We have updated our security ratings. We feel that this is the best way to clearly communicate real-world risk associated with the vulnerabilities addressed in any given security update. We hope that this proves beneficial to your patching prioritization processes.
  • Adobe EchoSign Integration:
  • 
With this release, we further our integration with Adobe EchoSign, by adding new electronic signature types, including typewritten and hand-drawn. With Adobe EchoSign, customers can gain real-time visibility into the signature process and status of contracts, giving greater assurance and control over the management of all signed documents.
  • Apple Safari and Adobe Reader/Acrobat:
  • 
Today’s update resolves the incompatibility with Safari in 64-bit mode. If you still require a 32-bit solution, this update also provides a Mozilla Firefox browser plug-in for those configurations.
  • Flash Technology and 9.5.1:

  • Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.5.1 no longer bundle a Flash Player with the application that plays Flash in PDF files. Flash technology content in PDF is now rendered via a separate Flash Player. Should you encounter a PDF that requires the external player, you will be prompted to download and install.
  • Further Alignment of the Adobe Reader/Acrobat Update Cycle with Microsoft’s Model:
  • Our update model will more closely resemble the familiar “Microsoft Patch Tuesday” model. This means, we will provide guidance on the release date for the next update as part of the prenotification advisory just prior to a given Patch Tuesday.
