Peachy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Just so everyone knows, this bug also affects non-Adobe PDF readers such as FoxIT. FoxIT released a new version yesterday to address this: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/security.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlim Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'm with you striker. I removed Adobe Reader from all my windows computers (unfortunately I can't remove it from my eeepc).If you don't have a need for pdf very often, you can even run Foxit portable from a thumb drive.http://www.pendriveapps.com/foxit-portable-pdf-reader/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
