You're kidding, right?

I just had to write a document on how to open a PDF. A small part of my soul shriveled and died...

1 I feel your pain.  I do hope it was distributed as a PDF (As in DVD players that come with a DVD that show how to setup the DVD player...)

Did you have to mention checking for and installing Adobe Reader?  Then I can see this being understandable, to a degree.

2 I did mention installing Adobe Reader.

But the stupid thing is that the document is for delivery with PDF documents to a court's Special Master. Who is requiring that documents be delivered in PDF format. Presumably this means that... they can view PDFs? Either that or it's a Special Ed Master...

3 I don't use Adobe Acrobat Reader. First, it's proprietary and free solutions are just as good if not better. But more importantly, it's a major security risk due to its implementation of Javascript. Anyone who uses it is a fool.

4 Well, lawyers. What can you do?
