Not to nag, but you might also consider not allowing PDFs
to load in your browser. They're a common attack method.
They're not webpages. They only load at all because Adobe
has been trying, for many years, to find a way to hijack
the Internet. (Flash, PDF, AIR.)


Hijack?


Design technologies that get very popular on Internet, but being owned
by them, they get paid in some manner. They also do not publish all the
details of the technology so that it is hard by others to replicate the
implementations.


I can't say I'm surprised that Adobe would be that underhanded.
