Posted on October 18, 2011 by John B Harris | Comments (2)

Now available for free on the Apple App Store and the Android Market, Adobe Reader 10.1 brings to your favorite mobile devices the same best-in-class PDF viewing experience you’re used to on the desktop. This latest release is our first for iOS devices, and shows Adobe’s commitment to provide the most compelling mobile experiences on the most popular platforms. With each new version, Adobe is bringing to mobile those capabilities that users on the go find most important, like text search, easy page navigation, bookmarks, and printing.

As a result, key among the new features in Adobe Reader 10.1 for Mobile is support for accessing files secured by Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management. LiveCycle Rights Management protects sensitive documents by encrypting them with industry-standard AES encryption and enabling central management of their access permissions. Protections persist even when documents are accidentally distributed via email, the cloud, or saved on a lost mobile device. Continue reading…

Just Unveiled: Adobe eSignatures – Making it Easier than Ever to Sign Electronic Documents

Posted on May 17, 2010 by John B Harris | Comments (0)

Signatures are utterly ubiquitous today…so much so, that we don’t even recognize how often and in how many different ways we are signing off on things. Of course, we’re all well-aware when we’re signing a legal document in person, like a mortgage or rental agreement. But we’re also assenting to a purchase when we chicken-scratch our signature on grocery store point-of-sale terminals.  (OK, that’s my chicken scratch.)  Did you know we’re also signing and assenting to a contract when we install software, or agree to privacy terms on a website, by clicking an ‘I agree’ button?  

The truth is, there are many different ways in which we can express our intent.  In the paper world, some agreements require the signatures of multiple parties.  Others, by tradition, necessitate the signer use dozens of pens to sign one name!  Yet others require the use of specially designed stamps.  Different types of signatures for different types of transactions.

These same variations carry over into the electronic realm, based on
necessity, expediency, cost, regulations, and local and national laws.

We’ve explained in this blog what electronic signatures are and how they work.  Adobe eSignatures, launched last week, provides yet another option – a very convenient way to send documents out for electronic signature minus the cost of express delivery.
