 +====== Secure Adobe Reader ======
 +This is not a silver bullet for Adobe Reader security, but it will prevent the current most popular ways of being exploited.  Basically, it will just disable Javascript and Flash within Reader.  Personally, I think it's ridiculous that Adobe even added this functionality to PDF's.
 +
 +**NOTE:** Do not do this if the PDF's you need to utilize require this functionality.
 +
 +===== Disabling Javascript can be done in a couple of different ways: either the settings within reader or through the registry. =====
 +  - Go to Edit, Preferences… Then in the left-pane, navigate to JavaScript. The right-side of the window will update to JavaScript preferences. You should uncheck “Enable Acrobat JavaScript.”
 +  - <file>reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\#.#\JSPrefs" /v bEnableJS /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f</file>
 +      Where #.# is the version of Reader you are using.
 +
 +===== Disabling Flash requires the deleting/renaming of a couple of files. =====
 +On Microsoft Windows, delete or rename these files:
 +<file>"%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Reader <version_#>\Reader\authplay.dll"
 +"%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Reader <version_#>\Reader\rt3d.dll"</file>
 +
 +For Apple Mac OS X, delete or rename these files:
 +<file>"/Applications/Adobe Reader 9/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/Frameworks/AuthPlayLib.bundle"
 +"/Applications/Adobe Reader 9/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe3D.framework"</file>
 +
 +For GNU/Linux delete or rename these files (locations may vary among distributions):
 +<file>"/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/libauthplay.so"
 +"/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/librt3d.so"</file>
