The version my mother has, which is the most up to date version for her windows vista system, doesn't, for most of the documents people send her. She's absolutely stuck with the font choices somebody else made for everybody, and they aren't right for her. And this is way it is with the bulk of problems I end up having to deal with from people who get pdfs and have problems reading them -- what they want to do is outside of the range of what they are allowed to do.
