Adobe Flags Online PDF Tracking

Adobe Systems Inc. wants you to know when your PDF documents are being tracked.

The company's Acrobat and Reader software products have been updated to give users a pop-up warning when a document that is tagged for tracking attempts to make a connection to a Web service.

Adobe Director of Security Solutions John Landwehr confirmed that the feature has been added to version 7.05 of the two products in order to offer "security and privacy" to PDF users.
