Adobe has released Adobe Reader 7.0 for Mac OS X which enables business professionals and home users to reliably share information using intelligent PDF files. With Adobe Reader, you can easily view, print, and search PDF files using a variety of platforms and devices.
New in version 7:
– Experience better overall performance for faster launch times and real-time zooming and panning
– Use improved search features – search for words in annotations, bookmarks, form fields, or metadata, and search within open PDF files or any PDF file residing on local machines
– Easily search for and highlight object data, such as Microsoft Visio drawing objects
– Fill out and submit forms
– Many more enhancements

MacDailyNews Note: Mac OS X users who wish to view PDF files directly in Safari should download ‘PDF Browser Plugin 2’ which is free for private use at home for not-for-profit activities and for use at educational institutions for not-for-profit activities. More info and download link here.
There is still something clumsy about this software. I just can’t place it
*the magic word is “known”
so-o-o….. what does this do that OSX doesnt do natively ??
The ability to fill in forms.

Ok, now the ads are talking. That’s just plain rude. I’m sitting in a conference room, minding my own business, looking as if I’m paying attention even though I’m reading MDN, and BANG all this crap about Smart Spin comes blaring out of my speakers. It sounds LIKE AN OBNOXIOUS INFO-MERCIAL!!!!! IT WAS EMBARASSING AS HELL!
Nice program. Unfortunately it crashed already with the first PDF-file I threw at it. It was a 176 pages PDF-file, but still …
I have had one experience where a pdf file that I got from a windozer came up blank in preview. I tried it again with adobe and could see the content. I sent a sample to Apple so hopefully they will get on it. Adobe reader is too slow – both launching and viewing.
