Hi!

Geo. [2005-09-21 11:34 -0400]:
Haven't any of the security firms checked out adobe pdf reader to see if
it's safe? It took 5 minutes to create this nonsense
http://www.nthelp.com/test.pdf and that's just using the standard features.
I hate to think what a real hacker could do with a pdf.

http://folk.uio.no/gisle/trap.html might be an interesting read for
those interested in this topic. :-)
