Thanks for pointing this out. I followed your advice. I'm using it on Intrepid, so I'll know if there are any problems. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 5:35 PM, NoOp <<a href="mailto:glgxg@sbcglobal.net">glgxg@sbcglobal.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">For those using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 you should update to 8.1.3 as 8.1.2 has several critcal security issues [1]. You can easily do this on Hardy (I don't have intrepid installed to test on) by downloading the .deb version from: <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html" target="_blank">http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html</a> or better yet, use gwget or wget to get it from the ftp site: <a href="ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/8.x/8.1.3/enu/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/8.x/8.1.3/enu/</a> Once downloaded, use Synaptic to remove the Ubuntu/Medibuntu version of acroread, then open Nautilus & double-click on the AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.i386.deb file to install. You can of course use dpkg from the terminal (sudo dpkg -i AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.i386.deb), but it's just as easy to use Nautilus. That's it. Added note: the first thing that I generally do w/AR is turn off internet access & javascript etc., but your mileage may vary.
