I have never encountered such a problem in general use, but have seen a personal account in use when PDFs are used to distribute copy-restricted content (in my case, it was a paid magazine subscription that required personal credentials). Needless to say, I stopped accessing it after the first time. According to https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/acrobat/about-adobe-pdf.html, "...PDF is now an open standard maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)", and nothing prevents us from using alternative readers/renderers to render PDF files on any platform (as is usually the case in Linux). satish On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 7:17 AM, Alberto Soto <alberto@soto.net.ar> wrote:
I have also seen and downloaded many .pdf. I never had to register to see or download. But if there is any part done that is necessary, it is convenient to know and "claim".

Christopher, I open loads on ICANN-sent PDFs on several devices and have never encountered anything remotely akin to what you describe. It would be useful if you can give an example of a specific file and where it was fetched from (ie its URL) or what e-mail it was attached to so we can see if the problem is unique to you or more widespread.

Dear Steve:
I find that, recently, Adobe has been requiring us to create a kind of personal 'membership' of Adobe before allowing us to open a .PDF file. The potential ramifications are far reaching.
If we all continue to use .PDF files to communicate substantial documents (as I have also done so until recently) then in due course the whole of the ICANN community will have to become *nolens volens *'members' of Adobe.
Is that OK? I am worried about it. Has ICANN anything to say to Adobe about this?
Just a thought
