Disable Javascript in Acrobat
From the Adobe Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) blog:

Is CS4 worth the upgrade?
Is Adobe Creative Suite 4 worth the upgrade? Having been involved in the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium beta test for the better part of this year, I’ve had a good bit of experience using the new versions of Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator.
Here are just a few of the things that have stood out [...]
