Adobe Reader allows users to view PDF documents. You may not know what a PDF file is, but you've probably come across one at some point. PDF files are used by companies and even the IRS to distribute documentation and other pieces of information about their products, and Adobe Acrobat Reader is the essential interpreter. Acrobat integrates directly with your Web browser, so if you come across a PDF document on the Web,you can view it directly from within your Netscape or Internet Explorer browser window.

What's New
Version 10.1.3:

Fixes:

  • With Protected Mode ON in Reader, links in a PDF to local folders now work.
  • Previous product versions of the browser plug-in were not compatible with the Safari 5.1+ browser that currently ships with Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6. Today's update resolves the incompatibility with Safari in 64-bit mode. If you still require a 32-bit solution, this update also supports Mozilla Firefox for Macintosh when it is opened in 32- bit mode. Note, a small number of functions relating to 3D and embedded Flash could render or operate incorrectly in some configurations. For those situations, try downloading the PDF file and opening it using the stand-alone Adobe Reader or Acrobat. Note: Since this new 10.1.3 functionality in 10.1.3 supersedes previous versions, it is recommended that you remove the AdobePDFViewerFF.plugin if you had previously installed that from the Adobe LABs site.
  • With this release, the product further integrates Adobe EchoSign technology as follows:
    • New electronic signature types have been added, including typewritten and hand-drawn.
    • It is now possible to send signed documents via EchoSign.
    • AcroForms is now supported.
    • Users can sign AcroForms that are not Reader Enabled without a Submit button.
    • The document message bar and associated workflow dialog text have been updated. Export PDF Reader's Export PDF service expands optical character recognition beyond English to include French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.
  • 2951429: Ink Manager color swatches are broken, display in RGB, most spots missing.
  • Printing workarounds for the issues below appear at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-wont-print- reader-10.html:   
  • The printing preference to print on both sides of the paper is on by default.
  • Reader crashes when trying to print when Protected Mode is on.
  • Acrobat X Professional crashes on close Preflight panel access: See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-x-professional-crashes-close.html.
  • PDFs in a browser appear as a grey box and don't display when sent via HTTPS/SSL: For a hot fix and workaround, go here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-opens-grey-screen-browser.html.
  • Some plugins that rely on HFTs may cause a hang or crash. For example, the LeanGreen plugin does not work. Acrobat 10.1.3 crashes when closing Acrobat after accessing Preflight panel.
Version 10.1.3:

Fixes:

  • With Protected Mode ON in Reader, links in a PDF to local folders now work.

I agree with previous posts regarding the updater - I have not been able to get the updater to work since buying this product a year ago. I've spent hours on the phone with Adobe, created new administrator accounts, and it still doesn't work. They don't seem to have an answer. So as much as I'd like to comment on the functionality of each new version, I can't get there from here!

I can hardly believe it....it seems like they finally fixed the problem where, if you tried to open an FDF file on the Mac, it would endlessly flip back and forth between Safari and Acrobat. This has been a problem for years...now the FDF file actually opens!

Slowed my Mac Pro to a crawl running Lion 10.7.3. How could it take up so much space??? For WHAT?

I looked for an uninstaller. None. I did a manual uninstall using EasyFind and AppCleaner. Things are zippy again (knock knock).

I'll stick to Preview and Skim.

The Behemoth Adobe Built. Never again.

Aren't you the lucky one?

I like Gryphonent's comment - the one about it taking up 415.8 MB of disk space - "Adobe, are you out of your mind??????"

Behold, biggest fattest stupidest slowest most unpredictable piece of bloatware ever "built". And the files that it generates in every conceivable nook and cranny of your Mac probably amount to another 415.8 MB.

But let's look at the bright side. With Adobe out there, we never have to worry about a dystopian sci-fi vision like "The Rise of the Machines" coming true. No terminators in our future. No need for John Conner.

Thanks, at least, for that, Adobe. And for your piece de resistance, Flash. Yep. We're safe.

I should clarify -- Some PDF files don't open in Preview, and some others do open but with some of the text and graphics either missing or incorrectly displayed.

So it's a good idea to have Adobe Reader installed, even if it's just for every once in a while.

I tried to update this twice by Updating from inside the Client. It D/Ls a file that opens as a dmg file (I think it was dmg) that starts to update and then hangs.

After a half hour of hanging I quit and rebooted and tried again. Same thing.

Before this showed up on MacUpdate I got a message about the security problem and update. I went to the Adobe site and got „Version 10.1.0“!
Here I got version 10.1.2 dated „14. September 2011“.
Kind of chaotic.
Trying to contact Adobe one is pushed around in circles.
Perhaps Mr Adobe will read this.

Maybe try and repair your permissions. The app works fine for me in Lion. I have no idea what you're referring to with "crashes preview". Preview has yet to crash on me in Lion. Seriously... try and repair your permissions. You can do this by booting from your Lion partition, running Disk Utility and then selecting the option to repair permissions.

Reader 10 doesn't handle fonts well at all. Opening a well-made pdf file (e.g. "Property List Programming Guide" from Apple) has the text looking like a ransom note made from cutout letters. The pdf shows perfectly in Reader 9. The Reader X view of the pdf is difficult to read. I'm junking Reader X and waiting for Adobe to do what they should have done before releasing this version.

For those with the Reader installed on Case-SENsitive partitions and receiving the error popups when the Updater is run:

This is an OLD BUG, the people at Adobe seem to have not heeded previous bug-reports.

Please try the Renaming Steps found in this post, made by Techtronic:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2160596#2160596
(I called-up Terminal and placed symlinks with ‘ln' in related ways. This needs to be done whenever a Major Update is installed.)

Also please file a proper bug-report here:

PLEASE submit a bug-report as the sheer number of them ought to raise concerns how wide-spread this problem is.

I tried to download Adobe Reader 9.1.3 using MacUpdate.

The size of the file to be downloaded from MacUpdate is shown as 2.6MB. Clicking that link instead takes one to the Adobe Reader site. The file that was downloaded there is AdbeRdr910_en_US_i386.pkg.zip, a 44.1MB file. When I checked the zip contents, version 910 is listed, not 913 or 9.1.3, and every file in that zip has dates on or before Feb.27, 2009.

Has an earlier version mysteriously crept back into the Adobe website? Has the MacUpdate guru flipped his link? Or, do I adjust my meds and continue to use Skim?

That happened to me the last time that I tried to update Reader. This time, I updated it through the built-in updater (Help > Check For Updates...). The download is 24.1 MB.

On restarting the app, the "About Reader" box shows "Version 9.1.3".

You'll find a list of updaters for everything from 6.0.2 up to today's 9.1.3 update, with PPC and Intel versions noted.

Of course if you accidentally installed version 9.1 linked from this page, you can't just apply the 9.1.3 updater. You have to go to 9.1.1, then 9.1.2, then 9.1.3. Adobe, just go die!

The problem is that Adobe, unlike virtually every other software developer, chose to release patches for 9.1.1, 9.1.2, and 9.1.3 rather than re-releasing the full download of 9.1. So instead of giving new users the latest, most secure version (currently 9.1.3 as of when I'm writing this), they only give you the outdated and insecure 9.1 when you try to download the full version. This goes for both the Mac and Windows versions. It's absolutely insane, and whichever Adobe employees came up with this idea (probably to save on bandwidth costs at the expense of every new user's security) should be fired.

lylehm had trouble on 24 Jun 2009
Recent versions of Safari have removed "Page Setup" from the "File" menu. Options like "Paper Size" are now incorporated into the main page of the "Print" dialog box.
When a PDF opens in Safari using the Adobe plug-in, the Safari print dialog is superseded by the Adobe Reader dialog. This eliminates the ability to change paper size!

If you want to be able to use other paper sizes, and still want to have your PDFs open in Adobe Reader vs. Preview (and it's Safari plug-in), just take the following steps:

1. Remove the file /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
(this can also be done in Adobe Reader: File:Preferences:Internet:Display PDF in browser OFF)
2. In Terminal.app (as the correct user): defaults write -app Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool Yes
3. In the Finder, select any PDF file and "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
4. Under "Open with" select Adobe Reader.app and click "Change All.."

PDFs will now download to your default download folder and automatically open (depending on security settings) in Adobe Reader.

dacleary had trouble on 19 Jun 2007
I have a Powerbook G4 Titanium (yeah, it still runs great) and I print to a Brother HL-1850 using the CUPS 1.1 driver. Nonetheless, when I try to print any pdf form I have filled out with Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 the physical print out looks horrible. Everything is pixelated, i.e., there are no solid lines but lines composed of, say, half the pixels that should be there. I only have this problem with Acrobat Reader. I had the same problem with ver. 7.0. But if memory serves me correctly, there was no such problem with 6.0. Of course I deleted that when I added 7.0. Is this just an isolated incident? I think they have crippled the printing function to get you to buy the full program. Anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance.

Doug.

It does have some bugs. Sometimes windows open zoomed beyond the edges of the screen, for example, but on the other hand this is *so* much faster than the old version in starting up. It's now usable. Also, I really dislike the search feature in Preview - that standard drawer thing is just absolutely awful. I think Adobe Reader is much better for use with large documents, especially if you want to do any searching. I've set it as my default reader now. Curiously, I can't seem to get Firefox to open PDFs in Adobe Reader even after having set Adobe Reader as the default app, and Firefox set to open .pdf in the default app. That may be a Firefox issue, though.

So I downloaded Reader so that I can markup and highlight portions of documents, EXCEPT, it seems that every PDF I have is protected against commenting. Even the PDF's that I created through OS X's print to PDF feature are protected against commenting.

Can anyone verify this? Or reccommend a way to remove security from unecrypted and non-password protected PDFs? Thanks!
