Roda Freak pointed us to the Adobe site, which reports that a new version of the Acrobat Reader is available to download. In any case, the big step in version numbering promises a lot of improvement. After some searching I managed to find the changes:
Ability to save copies of files downloaded in Web browsers
Improved usability — drag-and-drop toolbar icons, dynamic thumbnails generation
When windows are resized, text in Tagged Adobe PDF files reflows to fit the window for better on-screen reading
Improved access to Web-hosted applications/online services
Support for Adobe Illustrator® 9.0 graphics that contain transparency Compatibility with previous versions of Acrobat Reader
Support for screen readers, offering accessibility to the visually impaired (Windows only)
Better display of text on LCD screens using Adobe CoolType technology
