[geeks] Adobe reader 6 and pdf that phones home

[Geoffrey S. Mendelson]

I have adobe reader 6 as the default reader on my wife's PC. Due to font
issues, I have to use it instead of adobe reader 7.

When I opened a pdf today, I received a "security warning" that the pdf
file was trying to "phone home" with a URL. I had the choice of blocking
or allowing the operation and remebering the action for that web site.

Note that pushing the file through pdf2ps and then ps2pdf produced a pdf
file that did not "phone home.". It displayed much more slowly too.
