Adobe Backs Down, Removes Kinko’s Links

An Adobe press release stated: “The versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat that are scheduled to be released in October will not contain the feature. We are implementing these changes as quickly as we can. However, we need time to write and test the software.”

In his blog, Johnny Loiacono, Senior Vice President of Adobe’s Creative Solutions Business Unit wrote: “I know that there are a lot of folks who will be asking why we can’t do it this afternoon. The answer is we can’t just go back to the 8.0 release since the 8.1 release that contains the button included a lot of critical security and quality updates in addition to the new print option. We have determined the best way to move forward is with an 8.1.1 update. We have moved as many people as we can on to the project, but it takes time to do the standard testing that is required to ensure that we don’t cause more problems by not performing sufficient testing.”
