A system restart!? For an editor/viewer!?
I guess if it wasn't for the airfare they'd actually pop round and urinate on my desk too...
Adobe belatedly pushed out critical updates for its frequently-attacked Reader and Acrobat PDF software packages on Tuesday. Mac and Windows users of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08) and earlier versions should update to version 11.0.09. Adobe Reader X (10.1.11) users who can't upgrade are being offered a patched version of the …
And yep, "Jetzt neu starten" is indeed the button that gives you the chance to go and make a cuppa (only to find out that STUPID BLOODY WINZIP halted the reboot ten seconds later so that it could point out that it can't promise not leave something in the temp folder, as if this was a problem unique to reboots and not exactly like any other other time that it exits before a downstream app)

It seems that the government is always behind the times, they'll be requiring Silverlight next.
I'm sorry Adobe, but our relationship has come to an end. I've noticed that you've been spending a lot of time trying to fix things, parts that I never actually asked to have and have generally putting on weight and getting rather lax about my security. It's over, you are but a memory on my hard disk, and I've got a new more lightweight partner.
You all seem to hate Adobe Reader, and I'm beginning to see why...
... can anyone recommend an alternative PDF viewer that allows you to insert Comments in the same way that AR does? Don't need to edit the actual PDF, but comments is a crucial tool.
Any suggestions welcome
Thanks!
Reader used to be a good document reader but has too much other stuff. For making PDF's use Open Office or Libre Office. They are both great and do not have Microsoft Office vulnerable scripts. Also they are free of charge. How can anyone justify paying for these programs.
