Could the author check if this still happens with plugins disabled (see below). acroread 7 has the best text rendering of anything that I've tried and it makes screen reading much nicer. It would be nice if `features' like this could be removed with throwing the baby out too.
Disabling plugins:
(Acroread loads much faster without them and there's one called `EScript.api', ECMAScript maybe?)

Without the plug_ins directory the javascript option is no longer visible in the preferences panel, and the application stops asking if you want to re-enable javascript when you exit..

I understand that rendering has now been shifted to a library so the current CVS version for gnome should function the same. There are still missing features in kpdf for which I must load acrobat (rotation being the most obvious), but they're pretty minor. I load acroread about once a week, kpdf I never even quit.

(just kidding - I hope they remember their own "Simpsons" episode that nicely parodied that kind of lawyering)

Accessibility.acroplugin
Dunno what they do but we'll see. JavaScript is off after renaming these directories. I did this on Mac OS X BTW, the names may differ for Linux. In Mac OS you'll find these directories in Contents/Plug-ins/ in the .app directory. Good Luck,

Well, that is capable of being misunderstood. It's the list of those plug-ins that must be *removed* to disable the scripting capabilities while keeping Acrobat silent. You can remove more but you can't remove less without making Acrobat really annoying.
