Latest Release 9.0.2 – May 12 2014
Fixes and Minor Improvements:
Added JavaScript support for event.target.buttonImportIcon() which can be used to add an image icon to a button (make sure “image” is enabled under option so the icon on the button shows).
Added more error details in the Batch Result Error Dialog when a file fails.
Focus issue when opening PDF documents not in the first frame but in subsequent frames which was affecting keystroke navigation.
Navigation issue with Page Up/Down not working correctly in Facing, Single and Cover page modes. To fix this on the Mac, we removed the grow box, which was no longer needed since Mac Lion 10.7 was released, we kept the grow box on Snow Leopard 10.6.
Loupe tool in the form editing view not working in the form editor mode.
Document Specific: Fix issues with PDFs containing negative font size affecting text search, text highlight, redaction and printing (used to print reverse).
Document Specific / Mac Only: Regression issue when printing specific certain scanned PDF documents on the Mac. This issue was introduced with the new rendering algorithm in version 9 which improved memory and performance when rendering big images. It seemed to print a mostly white page as it kept on printing the same horizontal area over.
Document Specific: Issue when opening form which contained a field marked as sub-type field but nonetheless contained children (this is not correct according to the PDF specs).
Mac 64bit installer (beta installer) Fix issue with OCR for which the error log was: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libtiff.3.dylib.

-Many enhancements around interactive forms
-On Linux, default look and feel is now set to Nimbus instead of GTK. Read more about the dark unreadable menu issue in java in Ambiance theme starting in Ubuntu 12.04.
-Fix issue when opening protected forms for which form filling was disabled. This was an issue with PDF documents signed with Echosign, for example.
-Fix issue with initial view settings, document would not open to the specified page.
-Fix issue with interactive combo fields where the down arrow would show even when not in edit mode (this issue only happened in some JavaScript enabled forms).

-Fix some issues with form submission HTML responses.
-Fix "Unrecognized postscript command: le" error that occurred on some documents .
-Fix ClassCastException error when editing text for some specific text objects.
-Tweaks to registration process: more user-friendly, easier for enterprise distribution, try when possible to un-register on uninstall.
-In batch processes, suffix that was appended to output file names (ie "_header" for a header batch) was removed . This only happened when the overwrite flag for file names was unchecked.
-Fix an issue with Adobe Reader enabled documents: such PDFs can not be secured (to avoid encryption problems).
