Adobe gets rid of FedEx link
Adobe had teamed up with Kinkos FedEx to print documents over the internet, unfortunately this move upset smaller printing companies.The FedEx printing option had begun in Acrobat 8.1 and Reader 8.1 in June. However, complaints from rival businesses has forced Adobe to rethink their partnership with Kinko's and initiate a plan to take the feature out by an October release.
FedEx Kinko's will continue to distribute a version of the Adobe Reader with the special printing feature on its website.

Adobe Acrobat and Reader both "conveniently" ignored the user setting which should have prevented display of that begware icon and link. Methinks Adobe is spinning the truth here.

I commend Adobe for listening to its customers and reacting quickly. I think the approach that would benefit the entire printing eco-system (from buyer to supplier) is for Adobe to offer a for pay service that includes participation from multiple print providers to enable integration with its products. This will encourage innovation while acknowledging that making print procurement easier and more reliable can’t be done without effort and related cost.
