Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 Released

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.
