2. Real time collaboration – Collaborate using “Start meeting” button.

3. Improved graphics rendering – Adobe reader 8.0 now supports 2D graphics processors! Hence scrolling in huge “graphics rich” PDFs will be faster. This is the only reason why I upgraded

5. Improved accessibility features – Improved read out loud capabilities and support for legal requirements in US.
