so nice of them to respond promptly and immediately!

Good thing that other PDF readers are NOT affected by this. . .

I smell a lawsuit...

At least they aren't as bad as Apple waiting 8 months to fix a drive by download attack on their Java implementation.

This is and always has been the first change I make to reader's configuraton and doing so has thwarted several drive-by attempts over the past few years. PDFs almost never contain useful javascript - and i'm being generous in adding "almost".

There have been so many security issues with read over the years that I just don't even bother installing it anymore. I just use google's pdf reading abilities.

Foxit reader FTW. I switched a while ago and not looking back.

They probably wish they could photoshop the glitch away.

Best thing to do is to use different pdf reader.
Adobe to abandon its reader and make it open source due to its "failures."

Why does a document reader need javascript support in the first place? If the document is that complex it more then like should have been made into flash, silverlight, or HTML.

I'm still waiting for them to fix the cross domain execution that is allowing flash based ads to infect PCs with vundo strains.

I agree Foxit reader FTW.
