All looks like a little improvement, hope they release the rest eventually I got this reply from Matt Rozen at Adobe: "Adobe doesn't currently have plans to open source Adobe Flash Player beyond what's being open sourced today." "Adobe is committed to contributing to the developer community on multiple fronts, including the company's work with Mozilla, Adobe Labs projects, publicly available software development kits (SDKs) and file specifications, plans to use the open source HTML engine (WebKit) in Apollo, and our efforts with standards bodies." Re PDF, it's never been as portable an experience as they say for me. Many times I get PDFs which render wrong because odd fonts have been used. Also every time they bump the version up (currently v1.6?) all my older GNU+Linux installs have trouble handling the newer files (Like the power inquiry PDFs). The same is true when using Adobe Acrobat/Reader as well in my families experience.
