Similar to its previous version, this new major upgrade continues to allow users to produce documents that retain the fidelity of the original. Adobe Acrobat 5.0 allows for tighter Web integration, XML support for easier data exchange within Adobe PDF files, among other functions. Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files users create in Acrobat 5.0 and share online can be viewed and printed using Acrobat Reader across various hardware and operating systems. Beyond these fundamentals, new features are added. Users are better equipped with functions to create secure documents; businesses can use electronic forms with increased accuracy; users can distribute information readily to people with disabilities; and IT managers can now easily deploy and maintain Acrobat software across an entire organisation. Tight Web integration based on WebDistributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) and Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC) also allows teams to simultaneously share comments on Adobe PDF files from within a browser. In addition, support for the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) makes it simple for users to integrate data, such as metadata and forms data in Adobe PDF files, with back-end systems. Acrobat 5.0 is available for Windows 95 OSR 2.0, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 5 or 6, Windows ME and Windows 2000, and Macintosh OS 8.6, 9.0.4 and 9.1. The software is expected to be available by May for about AU$587. Registered users of earlier Acrobat software versions can upgrade to Acrobat 5.0 for AU$220. Adobe Acrobat version 5
