Rick,

that's the only thing I wanted to point out, that disabling JavaScript via GPO is not obligatory for the users. Anyway, Your ADM is a nice work, very useful to configure Acrobat settings.

Meanwhile the problem is getting worse. Secunia reported, that disabling JavaScript doesn't protect against the current 0-Day-Exploit. See
 <http://secunia.com/blog/44/>

Currently there are discussions in progress, if general blocking of PDFs for users ist a practical alternative until Adobe provides a patch. I know some companies that already made that drastic step accepting the flooding of their user help desk.
