Hi,

Our website creates a fdf file that is sent to the user for viewing in
Adobe Acrobat Reader.

When the user access the fdf file they get the following error
message:
"This document has accessed more than one site and might be trying to
share data among different locations. This could be a privacy concern.
Are you sure you want to continue?"

The above error message only occurs in Adobe Acrobat reader 8. It
doesn't happen in Acrobat reader 7.

Clicking on the "details" button give the following message:
List of sites accessed by this document:
  http://www.fictional.com
Site which might be receiving data from the above sites:
  https://www.fictional.com/cgi.exe?userid=test&location=miami...

I assume that Acrobat Reader 8.0 is giving the error message because
it thinks http://www.fictional.com and https://www.fictional.com are
different websites.

Acrobat Reader 7.0 doesn't give this error message.

Is there a work-around for the above error message? Because Adobe
Reader 8.0 was intelligent enough to know that the website was the
same no matter if http or https was in front of the www.fictional.com.

Any help or information that you can provide me would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.

Thomas


P.S. Sorry, for posting this question in more than 1 place. I'm hoping
someone will help me with this problem.
