Adobe Reader 8.1.2 has been pushed to campus and should be installed the next time that your system is restarted. This version will replace all previous versions installed on campus systems.

This upgrade was made for three very important reasons:

• Security vulnerabilities were present in previous versions of Adobe Reader which could allow malicious remote code execution. (more information)
• Rolling 8.1.2 out to everyone will standardize the version of the software that the Help Desk supports on campus.
• Upcoming upgrades to the Banner documentation system will require Adobe 8 to be utilized.

Again, to install this upgrade simply reboot your computer while it is plugged into the campus network. If you have any questions about this upgrade please feel free to contact us.

If you have Adobe Acrobat (not Reader) installed on your computer, it will not be changed by this installation except that you may notice an additional shortcut created on your Desktop.
