Adobe Fixes 29 Security Holes in Adobe Reader 9.1.3

[Apoptosis]

Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Reader 9.1.3 and Acrobat 9.1.3, Adobe Reader 8.1.6 and Acrobat 8.1.6 for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX, and Adobe Reader 7.1.3 and Acrobat 7.1.3 for Windows and Macintosh. These vulnerabilities could cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. This update represents the second quarterly security update for Adobe Reader and Acrobat.

Adobe recommends users of Adobe Reader 9.1.3 and Acrobat 9.1.3 and earlier versions update to Adobe Reader 9.2 and Acrobat 9.2. Adobe recommends users of Acrobat 8.1.6 and earlier versions update to Acrobat 8.1.7, and users of Acrobat 7.1.3 and earlier versions update to Acrobat 7.1.4. For Adobe Reader users who cannot update to Adobe Reader 9.2, Adobe has provided the Adobe Reader 8.1.7 and Adobe Reader 7.1.4 updates. Updates apply to all platforms: Windows, Macintosh and UNIX.

I don't know if you guys have heard of Foxit. It's a light weight PDF reader that I use. I never understood why a Adobe Reader needed to add startup applications for something as simple as a PDF reader.

I agree with pwcmed , the free version of forxit reader works much better and is a much faster and lighter app

Doesn't how ever work on some PDFs that have adobe specific things embedded in them, such as PDF binding where multiple separate PDFs are compressed into one ZIP file like PDF.

I don't think I have ever ran into any issues with Foxit not being able to read any PDF's.
