can you customize adobe acrobat reader "security warning"
- by akaphenom
We need to insert a web beacon (i know taboo) in to adobe PDFs to know when they are opened, as one of our clients is moving to a model of "giving" their documents away and following up repeat viewers for subscriptions. Its not enough to be able to provide a download, they want to attach the PDF to an email and "blast" to directed recipients (double-opt-in etc).
Adding the javascript to the pdf is easy enough: (iText) and the "openAction" event. However the security box pops up and displays:
"Security Warning"
"Document is trying to connect to
'xxxx.yyy.com' if you trusty the site
choose Allow. If do not trust the
site choose Block"
[help] [allow] [block]
I don't think we need to completley overhaul the dialogue box, I just think we need to change the middle text to be more descriptive of why we are doing it. Of course our client would love us to remove this completely...
Thank you in advance for any feed back you can provide,
Todd
