Adobe Acrobat and Reader 9.1.2 Release Notes

ADOBE READER AND ACROBAT 9.1.2 RELEASE NOTES 

Adobe® Acrobat® and Reader® 9.1.2 software address a number of customer workflow issues and  security vulnerabilities (please see: http://www.adobe.com/go/apsb09-07/) while providing more stability. Adobe always recommends that you install the latest updates.

The Windows® update includes the changes made in Adobe Acrobat and Reader 9.1.1 update. Thus if you have Acrobat 9.1 or Reader 9.1 on Windows installed, you can directly update to 9.1.2 without installing 9.1.1 first.

Adobe Acrobat or Reader 9.1.2 cannot be applied to a 9.1.1 AIP or a system where the application was installed using a 9.1.1 AIP.  If the system was updated to 9.1.1 by running a patch  then running the 9.1.2 patch will cause the system to be successfully updated.
