Anyone ever heard of problems after disabling javacript in Adobe Reader or know of it commonly being used? We're considering pushing it as policy to managed workstations due to the frequency of security defects discovered and exploited in Adobe Reader. Two zero days since the beginning of the year. I've had it disabled for over a year and I've never had a known problem. Or maybe I just missed out seeing the dancing bears without knowing it. http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/2009/04/update_on_adobe_reader_issue.html -- Gary Flynn Security Engineer James Madison University www.jmu.edu/computing/security
