I have some PDFs which Acrobat claims needs the "file open" plugin. Does anyone know what this is, what it does, and why Acrobat Reader wants me to get it?
Partial answer... First, I tried opening it with the Gnome PDF viewer, and it asked me for a password, that the file was encrypted. I downloaded the "plug in" and installed it per instructions. I then started tcpdump, and disconnected my DSL. Trying to open with Acrobat now resulted in a message indicating it was unable to contact the server. Hmm. Someone is trying to track opening of certain PDFs on my machine.
