Adobe Reader 10 released

Adobe fixed security bugs with the new version through a integrated "sandbox" modus.A suspicius PDF can be opended this way in a safe environment.This process is closer described in my posting about "Sandboxie",a software,to open any file safely this way.
Integrated in the new Reader 10 are also 2 webservices-"sendNow" and also "CreatePDF".
Th "sendNow" feature enables the user in the free version to send up to 100MB PDF files to web apps.
The integrated "CreatePDF" function can converts documents into a PDF.
A free registration at Adobe is required,to use this additional services.
Suggestion:
Deinstall the privious version first,before installing the Reader 10 release.

Personal Opinion:
The "Reader" was allways a quite tired tool compared to free alternatives like the far more versatile "PDF-XChange Viewer" for instance.
"DoPDF" converts any dokument into a PDF within a virtual printer.
To safe websides as PDF is done by us with the seperately described Firefox Addon "WebtoPDF".

I suggest to use this combination instead,deinstall the Reader at all and take advantage of far more possibilities of "PDF-XChange Viewer" in comparance to the Reader.A sreenshot of the Xchange viewer:
