I've never had to register or receive followup mail for copies of Adobe 
Acrobat -- seems like it's on just about every free CD that comes in the 
mail or with a magazine. But I agree completely that it's a bloody 
nuisance, and I wish people would just use HTML for widely distributed 
documents.

I guess the only advantage I see to publishing stuff with AA is that it 
makes it difficult for most people out there to alter your document.
