[ale] PDF reader

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

If fill in the blank pdf forms are not a requirement, and if other 
javascript automation is not a requirement, then not having javascript 
is a very good thing from a security point of view.  The first thing I 
do after installing Acrobat on my machines is turn off javascript and a 
few other things.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
