Even if they don't it is still technically accurate that those "hint
pointers" allow any PDF viewer to display individual pages more quickly.
"Allow" only indicates that it makes it possible, not that it
does happen. At least, I don't see any particular reason why only
Acrobat would be allowed to use those hints.
