<pre wrap="">NEVER (ok, not really), but never use Adobe PDF tools unless you must to earn

everyone. It took them 5 years too long, IMHO.

The only things I use Adobe's reader for are documents that require
JavaScript that cannot be worked with in Evince.
For example, the GA form 500 cannot be used in Evince. You print it and
it will print wrong; they rely on JavaScript to generate the barcode
that their system scans to read the information in computer-friendly
form. Also, some of their fields are calculated based on other fields
that you have already filled out.
Nice concept. They should stop it with the PDFs and just create a
bloody Web site with HTML forms and JavaScript there so that I can fill
my stupid taxes out THAT way.
For that matter, the IRS needs to do the same bloody thing.
Can you tell that I hate using the wrong tool for the wrong job?</pre>

You're asking idiots to think, won't happen. Anyhow, if they did use
HTML/javascript they would probably require one to use IE only
because they have not mastered the idea of writing standard
compliant code.<br>
