Jan,Hmmm. I think the problem is more complex than just faulting EITHER-OR Legacy/Adobe. The first problem is why does everyone feel the need to rush out and download Adobe Reader 7.0 in the first place. I've read the new features list on Adobe's web site and don't see that much benefit. Obviously Adobe have changed some of the internal format of the PDF engine or we wouldn't be having the problems. If you read the system requirements for Adobe Reader 7.0, you'll see that some of the requirements leave out many people with older systems.
Legacy, on the other hand, can't be expected to jump in and embrace every
release of new PDF engines when undoubtedly their customer base is going
to still be using Acrobat Reader v. 6 or perhaps even older. The fact that
we can produce a PDF within Legacy is a benefit in itself.
And PDF files are definitely preferred over giving someone a Microsoft
Word/Excel file, as it can look very different on the recipient's
computer! I've seen that happen many, many times. Also, if you give
someone a PDF file, they can't mangle it by trying to edit it or change
it.
That's my 2 pence worth!

I see no evidence to suggest that the problem occurring with Reader v7 has anything to do with Adobe, just with faulty generation by Legacy.

You are correct. Human nature seems to be that people always want to find someone else to blame for their problems. Legacy is at fault because they didn't immediately release an update to accommodate the Adobe changes. Adobe is at fault because they had the audacity to change their data structure.
Somewhere I missed a message that ordered people to go out and update their Adobe software immediately. One person even wanted to know if it was Legacy's official response that people should not update their version of Adobe.
People, please! Take responsibility for your own actions and stop trying to find someone else to blame because the action you took may not have given you the results you desired.
