The file uploads to the Adobe Cloud storage is much faster now due to changes in backend infrastructure. The client applications can upload the file in multiple parts through parallel HTTP calls. Therefore, larger file uploads greater than 5MB will no longer result in timeout issues.
Acrobat has migrated from Shared Cloud to Adobe Cloud Platform for its file storage model. Multiple infrastructure changes and optimizations are made at the backend to streamline operations on files stored on these platforms such that no negative impact is observed on Acrobat’s performance.
In the earlier versions, when a large list of files (maximum of a thousand) is fetched in Acrobat, it lags and takes too much time to retrieve them. Acrobat now uses the file caching mechanism and supports pagination for the complete list of files (above thousand). It results in a smoother experience, faster file search, and improved performance without lags for files listed in Shared by You and Shared by Others in Acrobat.
In this release, incorrect tagging of images with associated text, grouped images, and table header cells for PDFs created with PDFMaker is fixed.
Acrobat (64-bit) application now supports virtualized environments.
Adobe Document Cloud is now renamed to Adobe Cloud Storage, All Files is renamed to Your Files, and My Computer is now renamed to Your Computer.
The list of shared files displayed in the Shared by you/Shared by others tab is no longer limited to 1000 files. The list now shows all the shared files.
You can now remove shared files from your recent files list.
You can now sort the files you have shared with others by Last Activity on the shared files.
