Adobe will today announce Acrobat 7.0 and a new product, Livecycle Policy Server, to control Acrobat file access. Both are due in December.

Acrobat 7.0 brings new workflow capabilities. Staff can use the free Adobe Reader to submit feedback to a document author, who can then choose which changes to apply.

Livecycle Policy Server lets staff control access to Acrobat 7.0 documents. Mark Wheeler, Acrobat and security marketing manager for Europe, said, "You can distribute a document that can only be read by some individuals, and then you can control whether they can print or copy the contents." Access rights can be revoked after a document has been sent, he added.
