Protected Mode-Protected View¶
The following improvements and bug fixes have been made for the sandboxingfeature on Windows:

- Printing is now possible on Win Server 2003-64 bit in Protected Mode.
- On Win Server 2003-64 bit systems, the incompatibility dialog is NOT thrown on launching Reader for the first time after system reboot.
Apple browser support¶
Previous product versions of the browser plug-in were not compatible with theSafari 5.1+ browser that currently ships with Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6. Today’supdate resolves the incompatibility with Safari in 64-bit mode. If you stillrequire a 32-bit solution, this update also supports Mozilla Firefox forMacintosh when it is opened in 32-bit mode. Note, a small number of functionsrelating to 3D and embedded Flash could render or operate incorrectly in someconfigurations. For those situations, try downloading the PDF file and openingit using the stand-alone Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Note: Since this new 10.1.3 functionality supersedes previous versions, it is recommended that you remove the AdobePDFViewerFF.plugin if you had previously installed that from the Adobe LABs site.

With this release, the product further integrates Adobe EchoSign technology as follows:
- New electronic signature types have been added, including typewritten and hand-drawn.
