I tried to share this interactive map
http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/us_population/us_population.pdf
with a friend and learned that (although it works great in Acrobat 6)
in cannot be viewed in Reader 7. (I confirmed this also in
Acrobat 7: it opens with just a blank viewport.)

The map is an embedded SVG.  I thought Acrobat provided SVG support
(e.g., that the SVG plug-in was included with Reader).

What is the status of SVG support in Acrobat and Reader?
Why does the above document not view?
Is the Mars plug-in destined to replace the SVG plug-in,
and will it be able to handle such interactive SVGs?

Thank you,
Alan Isaac
