Letter to Adobe
-
Dear GlobX,
Thank you for your open letter regarding Adobe Reader.
We are glad you like the way we have managed to f@ck about
with your system to the point where your ears may explode.
Obviously we will have to release even more updates in
order to get actual physical damage.
I will inform the development team.In the meantime, why not install one (or more!) of our
paid-for products and then we can update them as well!Best regards,
Adobe.
P.S. Your computer needs to be restarted in order to stop reading this message. Reboot now? [YES][YES, DEFINITELY]Or delete the POS, and install something else: I use Foxit PDF reader[^] which has handled everything I've thrown at it so far.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

Dear Adobe, Please stop updating Adobe Reader. I do not wish to receive what I can only assume must be your nightly builds nor do I wish to restart my system in order to comply with your fabricated industry standard - the existence or perceived need for your piece of shit Portable Document Format is questionable at best and completely fucking mind-boggling at worst. If I have to install one more fucking update today to your bloated software that has never completely worked and probably never will, that little switch in my brain with the "Do Not Touch" label is going to become very tempting. I cannot guarantee my reaction to the depression of said button, but let's just say it's probable I'll be as trigger-happy as your brain-damaged release team. Sincerely, Fuck off, GlobX
:thumbsup: Wish I could give you a +10 for that... I'm so sick of Acrobat...
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

I absolutely triple-dog dare you to send that to Adobe Corporate Offices. If you can show irrefutable proof that you did send this letter, word for word, I will send you $50...no bullshit. A +5 will get you started. (just realized that you can't vote in the Backroom)
$50 bucks is more than I get in a week so I'm in! :laugh: I am trying to think of how I could show irrefutable proof? Maybe a YouTube video of me physically handing the letter to the postie? Even then it could just be my mate who rolled a postman for his uniform...

I am a man of my word. We would have to discuss this more in detail. Suggestions: Go to your post office with the letter and send the letter with a certified return receipt (the accepting party has to sign for acceptance). Send that receipt to me with the corporate address of Adobe on it. My only problem is how do we show proof that the letter in question is the one that you actually send? I would love to know that Adobe actually received a letter like this.

He could email it to them and cc you, perhaps?

I've been meaning to replace Adobe Reader for yonks, so I acted on your recommendation. Very good (so far :) ), thanks for the tip.

I used to use Foxit, until after some innocent looking update it started rendering all text in purple.

You don't like purple? I usually use this: http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer[^] (free, relatively lightweight tabbed PDF viewer)

That is another great idea.:thumbsup:
