I don't know, we banned PDF's here...
I was able to ban the usage of PDF files using Group Policies via Active Directory. Once Microsoft released InfoPath 2003, I immediately ordered my MCSD's to transform everything from PDF to InfoPath format. I also told our partner companies and vendors we would no longer have the capability to view PDF files. To date, success has been total and complete. Our sales people have more spare time because several of our partners don't deal with us anymore because we can't read their PDF files. I have made up for the revenue shortfall by investing in long term Microsoft stock options.
