Using FoxIt because you think it's safer than Adobe Reader? Think again. (Download Squad)
Apr 1st 2010 7:43PM "And no, Stevens' exploit doesn't work on Linux or Mac."
Not specifically the one he posted, but yes, it does. If the user is running Adobe Acrobat and the PDF is set to /Launch anything that actually exists on an OS X system, then it will be launched.
Try it with this PDF and see how you make out: (works on Windows/Linux/Mac)

For me, it opened in Preview.app with no ill effects, as Preview doesn't support PDF /Launch.
Most people who run Acrobat are just going to click OK regardless to get rid of the pop-up warning without reading its contents, so it isn't all that much of a help.
You're really doing your readers a disservice by making it seem like FoxIt is the problem. The problem is PDF capabilities being extended time and time again, simply so Adobe can keep selling new versions by having new features to tout.

Apr 1st 2010 6:14PM Opera kicks ass. It's my main browser on Windows and Linux, and my 3rd choice on OS X behind Safari, and Camino. The syncing feature works well too for bookmarks and notes.

Seems like 1 click to me, the "Export to Folder" button. I suppose I hit Command-A once to select all, so perhaps that's one (or two) of your clicks.

Apr 1st 2010 6:06PM Yeah, it seems like Download Squad has a really hard time taking their own screenshots.
