Security
Numerous enhancements to security features such as Protected Mode and others are part of this release.
EchoSign integration
- Acrobat and Reader now intelligently detect if a document may need to be signed. On successful detection, a document message bar appears with a button “Open Sign Pane” which on clicking opens the right-hand Sign Pane.
- Signature appearances can now be imported through the user’s webcam. Reader saves the signature for future use in signing workflows.
- Save a Copy: Allows the user to save the file locally or in cloud. The file will be renamed based on whether user signs the document or not.
- Send via Email: Allows users to upload the document to the EchoSign server where they can fill-in details and send the signed document.
- Send via Fax: Same as the Send via Email option.
- Get Others to Sign: Enables users to send documents that need signing to others through the EchoSign service.
- The dialog which asks the user if they want to save the signed document is removed, thereby streamlining the signing process.
PDF viewing
Added support for the Japanese Postal Code barcode.
Services integration
- When using Export PDF, Create PDF and Send Now services, the user can now choose Open from online account > Acrobat.com.
