Easily view, print, and collaborate on PDF files with free Adobe Reader

Features
Enhance interaction with PDF Portfolios
PDF Portfolios provide easier navigation when you work with multiple PDF documents and other document types. Portfolios also enable you to work with a collection of materials such as drawings, e-mail messages, spreadsheets, and videos as a single file, which makes distribution, storage, retrieval, and collaboration easy for end users.
Work with Acrobat.com (beta)
From Reader 9, you can go directly into Acrobat.com (beta), an exciting new set of online services from Adobe, to perform common tasks, such as:
* Create up to five Adobe PDF files * Share and store documents on the web * Create and collaborate on a document in Adobe Buzzword® * Easily share your screen using Adobe ConnectNow
You can also help colleagues, clients, and partners get on the same page at the same time with the ability to conavigate documents. Simply use Acrobat.com services to enable collaboration on a PDF file, and then distribute the PDF file and walk recipients through it in real time by controlling their page view.
As an added convenience, Acrobat.com leverages Adobe AIR™, so you can interact with Acrobat.com from your desktop as well. Acrobat.com on Adobe AIR is a small application that is included with your download of Adobe Reader 9.
Interact directly with Adobe Flash® software
Adobe Reader can natively display rich media content, enabling a new level of end-user interaction. Realize more secure document workflows
