> So the proper response to the question above is to immediately ask why the person didn't "just" use free software and/or a non-DRM'd file, instead of imposing unjust restrictions and hassles on other people. This is a confrontational response, not particularly likely to be productive,

Re: [Trisquel-users] PDF problems: Any way to evade installation of Adobe Reader? Urgent.

I'm in the US and routinely apply for grants through grants.gov, since almost all federal funding agencies (except the NSF, as far as I know) use it. In my experience there is no other way but to use adobe reader. So i boot into windows and do it there. If enough of us complain, especially

Re: [Trisquel-users] The hijacking flaw that lurked in Intel chips is worse than anyone thought

Thank you for clarifying that- it makes it much clearer why nobody picked it up for so long (although what convinced them to use the said comparison function is still beyond comprehension...). As for your point in regards to caring, you're unfortunately probably right. The most mainstream

Re: [Trisquel-users] microsoft against surveillance, they say

>How many believes microsoft? It's not much a question of 'believing' or trusting. The game is lost merely because of indifference. Unfortunately it takes an apparently rare combination of "caring enough to read and understanding what you read". Anyone, I am convinced, who cares even

"If they ask why you didn't "just" use this other person's computer to fill out the forms, tell them that you refuse to send DRM-encumbered files out of principle, and secondarily (if this is true) that this would hardly have made the job easier anyway." I really think the burden should be

Re: [Trisquel-users] PDF problems: Any way to evade installation of Adobe Reader? Urgent.

Onpon4's suggestion works too, and I also second the suggestion to describe in every detail complaining to the sender of that PDF file and showing how much burden they made you go through --- provided you are indeed going to use such burdensome way. :)

Re: [Trisquel-users] PDF problems: Any way to evade installation of Adobe Reader? Urgent.

That's DRM. It's not possible to open it with libre software. You should complain to whoever sent that to you. In the complaint, explain that you had to do the following (and this is what I'd suggest you do): 1. Find someone else who uses a computer with Adobe Reader on it. Ask them to

Re: [Trisquel-users] PDF problems: Any way to evade installation of Adobe Reader? Urgent.

That's indeed a difficult case to solve. I hope some free/libre software can support XFA forms (either by volunteer work, or by development made by people hired to implement such feature). If someone knows a reader that supports these forms, please reply to this topic. I don't know much about PDF

That case about watchers/listeners not understanding the language he was using to present the speech was, as far as I know, fault of coordinators for not doing one of the following: - Requiring filling a registration form that ask which language is understood by the public. - Getting people to

[Trisquel-users] PDF problems: Any way to evade installation of Adobe Reader? Urgent.

Hello everybody! For my application for scientific funding I need to view and edit a PDF document that apparently is designed for Adobe Reader only. I have saved a local copy and opened the document with the following readers: - Evince - xpdf - qpdfview - gv - MuPDF - Okular With all of

"except for checking that two 32-bit hashes were the same length" Not quite. It only checks the entered password against the stored password but checking length is what it didn't do. The result is, if I enter a password of one character it checks that character against the first character
