Adobe has released yet another security update for Adobe Reader 11. The new Adobe Reader 11.0.2 is available for download (direct download links at the end). Since Adobe was the founder of Portable Document Format (PDF), their native reader for PDF documents is the most popular software for reading and manipulating PDF files.

Since the latest update 11.0.2 is a security update, it does not contain a lot of other enhancements. This update addresses vulnerabilities that could cause a crash and potentially allow a hacker to take control of the system.

Adobe Reader 11.0.2

The latest update has been released for the Adobe Reader XI (11.0.01) users. There is one confusion though. As we had discussed in our earlier article, the version numbering of Adobe Reader gets confusing as sometimes the version number will be written as 11.0.2 and sometimes it will be 11.0.02. I hope Adobe will become consistent in their versioning in the next release.

The two vulnerabilities that have been fixed in this update are CVE-2013-0640 and CVE-2013-0641. You can read more about these vulnerabilities in the security advisory APSA13-02.

CVE-2013-0640 resolves a memory corruption vulnerability that could lead to code execution.

CVE-2013-0641 resolves a buffer overflow vulnerability that could lead to code execution.

By code execution, it is meant that a remote hacker or user will be able to execute code of his choice while exploiting these vulnerabilities.

It is always recommended that you keep all your software up to date to make sure that you always remain secure. Here are the direct download links for the latest version of Adobe Reader.

Adobe Creative Suite is the complete bundle of products provided by Adobe. Adobe CS2 is an extremely popular suite of products which was first released in 2005. The latest suite available is Adobe Creative Suite 6. Creative Suite 2 has come to end of life on 15th of December 2012. Due to this Adobe has turned off its activation servers.

Turning off the activation servers means that the users who have already purchased Adobe CS2 will not be able to re-install and activate the suite. They will receive the error message that the activation server is unavailable. Due to this, Adobe has made Adobe Creative Suite 2 available publicly for those who are having problems with the activation.

Although only the users with purchased licenses are entitled to download and install the available installers along with the license keys, anyone can download and get the product in working condition with a few minutes. You just have to download the appropriate installers for your Operating System and enter the license keys given along side the installers on the download page.

Just go to the download page and select your download. Here are the direct download links:

Adobe CS2 for Windows CD1

Adobe CS2 for Windows CD2

Adobe CS2 for Windows CD3

For the license key or the serial numbers, you will need to go to this page. The download page lists the products individually as well as in the creative suite.

The products included in the creative suite are:

  1. Adobe Illustrator CS2
  2. Adobe InDesign CS2
  3. Adobe Photoshop CS2
  4. Adobe ImageReady CS2
  5. Adobe Version Cue CS2

Adobe Creative Suite 2 Installer

You can also download the following products individually:

Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

Acrobat 3D 1.0

Adobe Audition 3

GoLive CS2

InCopy CS2

Photoshop Elements 4.0/5.0

Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0

If you are a Windows user, you will need to download all the three discs for complete installation of Creative Suite 2. Interestingly the files have been named as CD1, CD2 and CD3 while all these files are self extracting executable. You have to extract all these files into one folder by running all the three files and specifying the folder.

After extraction, you can begin the installation process by running setup.exe inside the extracted folder. The serial keys are provided on the download page which you can copy and paste when needed during the installation process. After the installation, there is no activation required (which is an essential step while installing latest Adobe products).

Now it’s quite easy to have a legal Adobe product without having to go on a torrent site and download a pirated version. Just download and install the products from here and you’ll be better off running your favorite tools. Although CS2 is quite an old version but it should be noted that it still contains the most powerful products from Adobe.

We would like to hear from you in the comments below! Of course about this free Adobe license offer 😀

If you are looking for a very light weight and quick PDF reader for your Windows 8 or Windows RT device, Adobe Reader Metro App is the perfect solution for you. Adobe Reader has been released in Windows 8 app store.

The Windows 8 desktop version of Adobe Reader XI is already out. Now Adobe has released the Adobe Reader Metro App for Windows 8. The app is available for download for free in the Windows 8 store. The benefit of the Metro app is that you will be able to use it seamlessly on Windows 8 tablets and Windows RT.

Adobe Reader app for Windows 8

The Metro version seems to be a very basic version of Adobe Reader because it does not have a lot of options like the Desktop version. But it is quite fast and opens the documents instantly in full screen mode.

The Adobe Reader app allows controls like zoom in and zoom out of the document, share or email the document, create location bookmarks within PDF documents etc.

Adobe Reader app works on all versions of Windows 8 including x86, x64 and ARM based devices.

Although Windows 8 comes with a built-in PDF reader but a PDF reader from Adobe is always highly recommended especially when it comes with more features than the Windows 8 PDF reader.

Do you know of any other PDF reader which supports Windows 8 Modern UI? Do you prefer to use the Desktop version of Adobe Reader or the Metro one?

Adobe has released a new version of Adobe Reader, a popular software to read PDF documents on your computer. The new version of Adobe Reader XI is available for download from Adobe servers. If you have already installed Adobe Reader, you will be able to update it through Help –> Check for updates menu.

Adobe Reader XI comes with some improved features. Some of the features include the following:

  • Improved Sign files with e-signatures
  • Improved Comment using the PDF annotator
  • Improved Fill out forms
  • Ease deployment
  • Manage security compliance
  • Protect your system

Adobe Reader XI opening

Adobe Reader XI comes with complete support for Windows 8 and Mac OS X Mountain Lion. This means that the users will be able to use the PDF reader on touch enabled devices.

Now you can convert your PDF documents into Word or Excel online for free. This feature is free for one year. The PDF annotator is also an amazing introduction as this will enable teams to collaborate on the same PDF file and the collaboration remains within the file itself.

The performance of Adobe Reader has always been questionable because it took large amounts of memory to open a single PDF file. This alone has forced the users to switch to other PDF readers like Foxit Reader and Nitro PDF Reader.

I tested the memory usage of three PDF Readers, Adobe Reader XI, Foxit Reader and Nitro PDF Reader. The results were quite satisfactory for Adobe Reader. I opened the release notes PDF file in the three readers and here are the results:

  • Adobe Reader XI memory usage = 40.5 MB
  • Nitro PDF Reader = 55 MB
  • Foxit Reader = 11.5 MB

This is quite an achievement for Adobe as the same PDF file was taking 80+ MB with Adobe Reader X. Please note that I had downloaded the file before opening it in these readers.

When you go to Adobe download page, Adobe will provide an online installer for Adobe Reader. But we are giving offline installers for Adobe Reader 11.
