Exactly. What I'm saying is that it would be very difficult for Acrobat 5.0 to be "improved" such that it choked on non-Adobe-generated files *without* breaking some genuine Adobe-generated files. As long as your non-proprietary PDFs had kept rigorously to the PDF spec' even the most perverse Adobe programmer would have his work cut out to make Acrobat 5.0 choke on these and not on the proprietary ones made at great expense by Adobe customers.
Frankly I don't see why anyone uses Adobe's stuff anyway as there are truly free alternatives...
As other pdf-viewing programs can actually bypass the password protection. How would said company respond to their passworded pdf being easily read and edited by third party software?
