Download Adobe Acrobat Reader 8

Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 will hit the Adobe FTP servers very soon. Adobe Reader 8 was released an hour after publishing this post.

Last month when Adobe released Acrobat 8, they announced that Adobe Reader 8 is expected to be available in early December 2006.

Now that December is here, Acrobat Reader 8 help documentation is also available on the Adobe website now giving a strong hint that version 8.0 will be released very very soon.

Here are some of the new features in Adobe Reader 8 grabbed from the online help docs:

» Booklet printing - Print pages as a simple booklet, for example, 2-up, saddle-stitched.

» 2D Measurement tool enhancements - Measurement recalculated if start or end point moved. Measurements snap to lines, intersections, or corners.

» Commenting and markup enhancements - View and accurately place callout and cloud markups as you apply them.

Kate Moss, an Adobe Acrobat expert, adds that Adobe, for the first time, has included a Acrobat Reader version specifically for the newer Intel-based Macs.

John Dowdell just reminds us that it was on this day, exactly one year ago, that Adobe acquired Macromedia.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
