Re: [gentoo-user] Acrobat Reader 7
However, I understand some PDF's are encrypted and can only be read with adobes own reader. xpdf (and offshoots) support decryption of at least some versions of pdf. Cheers Antoine -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have read a few things on this issue, though I do not use the product. It actually goes to a wider problem, where if javascript is on, docments can call home to wherever they are told to. This bothers many people, so they turn off javascript. Even if you don't mind that, turning off javascript is just what many people want to do. However it does exactly what you mentioned, annoying you over and over again to turn it on. I have not seen a workaround. This comment is off topic, but I can't say I'm surprised, Adobe is a pretty annoying company (we have had many extremely frustrating dealings with them). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
