Adobe Acrobat is a family of application software developed by Adobe Systems to view, create, manipulate, print and manage files in Portable Document Format (PDF). All members of the family, except Adobe Reader (formerly Acrobat Reader), are proprietary commercial software, while the latter is available as freeware and can be downloaded from Adobe's web site. Adobe Reader enables users to view and print PDF files but has negligible PDF creation capabilities. Acrobat and Reader are widely used as a way to present information with a fixed layout similar to a paper publication.
Adobe Acrobat X (version 10.0) was released on November 15, 2010. It included sandboxing protection for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Support was dropped for Windows 2000 and Power PC based Apple Macintosh computers.
Adobe Reader X is available for Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS. Support for Linux is not planned. The latest version of Adobe Reader X is 10.1.3 For Android and IOS :10.1.0, and 10.1.2 for Windows and Mac.
