prevent click zoom in acrobat and reader

[Shlomo Perets]

Further to my earlier reply:

A new option introduced in Acrobat/Reader 8.0 lets you disable the 
activation of article threads when you click with the Hand tool:

Edit > Preferences, General, Basic Tools, turn off the "Make Hand tool read 
articles" option.
