About Speed Launcher (Windows)
When you install Reader, the Speed Launcher program is installed into your computer's Common Startup group. The
Speed Launcher shortens the time needed to start Reader.
Although this is not recommended, you can disable Speed Launcher by dragging its icon out of the Startup folder.
Note: If you have both Acrobat and Adobe Reader installed on the same system, two Speed Launcher icons appear in the
Startup folder. If you want to disable Speed Launcher, remove both Speed Launcher icons from the Startup folder.

Adobe Digital Editions
Reader 8.0 changes the way you open and manage eBooks. Now, you use the free Adobe Digital Editions software to
read and organize eBooks and other publications. Digital Editions is a separate web-based Rich Internet Application
(RIA) that replaces the eBooks features in previous versions of Reader.
When you install Digital Editions, your existing bookshelf items are automatically imported and available within the
new Digital Editions bookshelf experience. You can also manually import individual PDFs into your Digital Editions
bookshelf.
Note: When you double-click the icon for an eBook, Reader automatically opens the Digital Editions download website,
where you can start installing the software.
To learn more about how to make the transition to this new solution for eBooks and for a link to the secure download
website, go to the Adobe website.

Asian-language PDFs
You can use Reader to view, search, and print PDF documents that contain Asian (Traditional and Simplified
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Central and Eastern European, and Cyrillic text. You can also use these languages
when you fill in forms, add comments, and apply digital signatures.
Almost all of the Reader features are supported for Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text.
