That sounds like a very good one to ask of Adobe. I'll see what I can get and post the results. Thanks for sharing. Sam Knoll Vitaman,

That is a VERY good question.

Your post prompted me to upgrade my Adobe Reader to ver 8. I also managed to make this my default reader (which took some digging) because I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard installed, and it has been the default since installation ... which slows down the reading process quite a bit due to the time required for Acrobat to load. However, my question now is whether Acrobat itself is subject to these potential malware intrusions. Upgrading this isn't so trivial ... it costs (real) money! Any thoughts or info on this from anyone? Vitaman www.MyVitaminGuide.com This is an interesting post, and a scary thought that PDF files could be carriers of malware.
