[MAJ] Adobe Reader 9.4.0

Adobe vient de publier une nouvelle version de lecteur de PDF alias Reader 9.4.0. La seule nouveautée que l'on peut remarquer est la réduction de poids de l'installateur qui passe de 41 à 28.65 Mo, on pourra donc en juger supposer qu'Adobe en a profité pour supprimer bon nombre de lignes de code inutiles afin de gagner en rapidité d’exécution. Sans oublier les habituels corrections de bugs et failles de sécurités (les notes de version ne sont pas encore publiés)

MAJ 06/10/2010 :

Finalement, ce sera soit une méthode de compression un peu plus forte, soit quelques fichiers ont été supprimés de l'installateur. A part ceci, voici le changelog :

Security
9.4 and 8.2.5: Several security vulnerabilities have been fixed, including those described here:

Bug fixes

When a link in a PDF pointed to a non-PDF format file such as .doc, .xls, etc., the target document did not open and an error appears: Error dialog- "Windows cannot find xxx. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.”
2680208: Acrobat crashes when form data is being served via a PHP application.
2663474: Adding text to a form field that spans two pages and scrolling to the top of the document cause Reader 9.3.3 to crash in Vista 32 bit systems.
2645653: References may not be displayed in a 3D CV5 file.
2630642: Paging through a PDF document sometimes causes an "invalid annotation object" error.

2598943: Commenting review checkmarks sometimes disappear when you open same PDF in Reader or Acrobat even if you use the same Login name.

2557035: XFA forms viewed in IE 7 sometimes cause a PDF viewer plugin crash.
2421120: When printing from Reader 9.1.3, the output is occasionally garbled or blocks of text have characters replaced by their subsequent letter; for example, S becomes T, etc.
2630618: The PDF viewing application crashes when deleting pages by deleting thumbnails from the thumbnails view for large documents.
2596701: (Fixed in 9.4) Reader polls the registry too often in Terminal Server environment.
