Acrobat and Reader 8.13 Available: Redaction Overlay Issue Fixed

By Rick Borstein

Adobe Reader 8.13 and Adobe Acrobat 8.1.3 are now available:

Product	Update Link
Acrobat 8 Win	Click
Acrobat 8 Mac	Click
Adobe Reader (All)	Click

The Adobe Acrobat/ Reader 8.1.3 update addresses a number of customer workflow issues and security vulnerabilities while providing more stability.

Note: Acrobat 9.0 and Adobe Reader 9.0 do not require a security update.

What's fixed?

The Acrobat/Adobe Reader 8.1.3 Release Notes contain an exhaustive list of the fixes.

There is one fix that has been eagerly awaited in the legal community.

Acrobat 8 sometimes did not display overlay text after redactions were applied to image-only PDFs. This was only a display issue as all information was absolutely, and securely, redacted.

I've written a bit more about the issue below if you'd like to read on.
