From: "Geo." 

Ok so I'm using foxit reader. Today I go to open a PDF file someone sent me
and I'm greated with a dialog box that reads

"This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Acrobat. Although the
form may appear to work properly, some elements may function improperly or
may not appear at all. Press OK to initiate an online update or see your
system administrator."

and I'm like wtf is this? Why would foxit tell me to download the adobe reader?

It's a pdf created with Adobe Designer 7.0, and the weasels are including
these 3 javascripts in the documents now, the javascript executes upon
document open, pops up a window with the above message, clicking OK
downloads and installs Acrobat reader even if you are running a different
make pdf reader..
