Adobe today introduced Acrobat 7.0, a new version of its PDF (Portable Document Format) software. Users of the updated version will be able to assemble documents from multiple sources, create intelligent forms, and more securely collaborate on projects. Adobe also announced Reader 7.0, an update to its free application to view and print PDF files. Version 7.0 offers document reviews, Yahoo! Search capabilities at their fingertips, and the ability to interact with 3D objects placed in PDF. Acrobat 7.0 Professional (US$449; $159 upgrade) and Acrobat 7.0 Standard ($299; $99 upgrade) for Mac OS X (10.2.8 and 10.3 or higher) are expected to ship by the end of the current calendar year.
