Adobe Reader 7.0 beta

I cann't find any detail at the offical website, but the new beta release of Adobe Reader is really here.

Preparing to setup (see Beta)

After installation finished, I didn't see any beta mentioned in the version splash window, which only show us that the version of this release is 7.9.0.

New features overview

As with earlier versions of Adobe Reader, the free Adobe Reader 7.0 software allows you to open and read any PDF document. But Adobe Reader 7.0 also offers significant new features and enhancements that greatly extend the flexibility of Adobe PDF documents. If the creator of an Adobe PDF document has assigned it additional usage rights, more tools and features are available to users of Adobe Reader, allowing you to fill in forms, sign documents, participate in email and browser-based document reviews, and attach PDF and non-PDF files to a PDF document. If you open a document that has these additional usage rights, a yellow Document Messenger Bar displays the additional tools required to work with the document.

Language support has been extended, a new autosave feature guards against losing your work in case of a power failure, and new accessibility features make Reader even easier to use for motor- and vision-impaired users. Depending on your preference settings, Adobe Reader can automatically download updates in the background, even while other web transactions are occurring.

After tring a short while, I found the new version really improved the speed of file open, and also Adobe add a new feature that looks same as Microsoft Smart Tag:

F1. Select some text

F2. The tag shows when cursor moved on the selected text

F3. See the menu when mouse on the tag
