How can these guys be trusted with a nuclear submarine if they can’t even use acrobat properly?

It’s a FR bug. Happened to me for a long time with one of my ping lists. (Only happened when I posed from my Android phone.)

Well, the nuke boat isn’t always trying to talk to other people and “upgrade” itself without your permission.

Oh, trust me, I’m not defending Adobe and their crapware.

Acrobat was once an solid product, but not anymore.

You could ask the identical question about entrusting them with the nation’s health care system.

Although I actually do dislike those "features" of Acrobat, my post was mostly intended in fun.

This is stupid. Classification requirements include rules for declassifying information, and that would include methods of scanning documents for classified information if the documents were not pure text.

The simplest way to accomplish correct redaction is to print out the document, redact it, and scan it back in.
