Adobe has made some serious additions to the pdf architecture with the release of Acrobat 7.0. Now, they are supporting Linux with Acrobat Reader.
Adobe Systems has released an update to its popular, freely available document reader software. The newly renamed "Adobe Reader 7.0" now allows users to collaborate on projects and provides additional file security at the server-level. And, unlike version 6, the latest release supports Linux.
Enterprises that desire greater flexibility -- including the ability to view, change, copy, print, forward a PDF document via email, and authenticate files -- can opt for the $50,000 "LifeCycle Policy Server," which runs on Red Hat Linux, Sun Solaris, Windows, and other operating systems. The package also allows users to jointly participate in document reviews, includes search tools based on Yahoo!'s toolbar, and enables the manipulation of 3D objects in PDF files. It will support Novell's SuSE Linux by mid-2005.
