caution: plugin vulnerability
When PDFs Attack!
We have received reports of a significant problem relating to Adobe Acrobat files and Cross Site Scripting (XSS). A weakness was discovered in the way that the Adobe Reader browser plugin can be made to execute JavaScript code on the client side...
You can avoid this problem by implementing a work around in your browser so that it does not use the Acrobat Reader plugin.
See article for details.
Update (1/5/07): A supposedly more secure, new version of
Adobe Reader is available. Beware of optional additional software installation, which is checked by default. [
