Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 is now available for download. So what’s new with Acrobat Reader 8. The first thing you’ll notice is the look and feel. It’s much sleeker and less busy. Acrobat Reader 8 also seems to load faster on my PC than Acrobat Reader 7. This is fantastic because I tend to open up a lot of PDF files on the net.
Here’s a list of new features to check out on the newly released Acrobat Reader 8 that I grabbed from around the net. I haven’t figured out how to use all of them just yet:
- Booklet printing – Print pages as a simple booklet, for example, 2-up, saddle-stitched.
- New zoom, pan and loupe features.
- Commenting, review and markup enhancements – View and accurately place callout and cloud markups as you apply them.
- The ability to customize the toolbars to your liking.
- Start an online meeting via Acrobat Connect from within Acrobat Reader. If you’re wondering what Acrobat Connect is, it’s the new name for Macromedia Breeze – Adobe’s online collaboration service.
Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 is still free to download. You can Download Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 here.
