Acrobat 9 - a disaster

Dov, we use this feature for 'testing' PDFs in which we have enabled 
Acrobat Reader rights. We have a lot of clients who simply will not 
spend the money to get Acrobat, so either we give them Reader-enabled 
PDFs or they send us <<shudder>> hardcopy edits.  No idea why,  but  
sometimes that rights-enabling doesn't 'stick', and we've sent a client 
a PDF they could not add edits to.  So now we always open the saved PDF 
in Reader to double-check it can indeed be edited in Reader (on a 
separate computer that hasn't got Acrobat, I hasten to add).
