Sure one has. Just use wireshark to see what it does. It can't bypass that. No need to sit around guessing, or tell scary stories
I have a hunch lots of people already have done that though, and if it did bad things, we would have heard about it by now, a lot louder than vague rumours on mailing lists

I do speak German (I live in Germany) and I can read. In that page, it says acrobat reader honours web links. This is *very* far removed from "calling home"
A little less hostility amongst list members would be appreciated. You might be so much smarter and better, no need to diminish others.
