Re: Adobe Acrobat 8.1.4 Bob Beattie 19 Mar 2009 11:57 EST
Good comment by Alexander about up grading. However, the point about all users with the same version is another Help Desk myth. All users can use any approved version. We get applications and have no idea what was used to create them. We submit with Reader 9 or 8.1.3 or Acrobat 9 or 8.1.3. Sometimes try with both at the same time :) 8.1.4 will fix that serious security problem that was discussed last month, also 9.1 is good for this too. Remember, the problem that was solved by turning off Javascript. 8.1.4 has not yet been approved by Grants.gov http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-03.html Bob ------------------------------ Robert Beattie On Mar 19, 2009, at 12:35 PM, Schoen, Alexander wrote: That does not sound like a good idea - especially if it's not listed as an approved version. Also - all users accessing an application package need to use the same version, so you're using 8.1.4 would mess things up. ----------------------------------------- Alexander Schoen Director, Office of Sponsored Programs Winthrop-University Hospital 222 Station Plaza North, Suite 510 Mineola, NY 11501 Phone: (516) 663-4931 Fax: (516) 663-9718 xxxxxx@winthrop.org P Please consider the environment before printing this email From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org] On Behalf Of Kris Wolff Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 12:22 PM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: [RESADM-L] Adobe Acrobat 8.1.4 Hi Folks, I’m asking you because I suspect Grants.gov help desk won’t know. My computer is prompting me to update Acrobat to 8.1.4. I checked the compatible versions of Adobe on G.g and I see that it still says 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3, 9.0 and 9.1 – no mention of 8.1.4. Has anyone updated to 8.1.4 and successfully submitted an application package?
