i agree. the purpose of a boycott is to disempower. adobe have shown that
they don't deserve a position of any esteem in the free system that linux
exemplifies.
in any case, xpdf works just fine. bookmarks are redundant since any
information in a pdf file that i need to quote or reproduce in any format or
context can be printed from xpdf.
sklyarov's case deserves support, and, if i'm not going to support adobe as
an act of support to their victim, that has to include a blanket rejection of
anything they have to offer. i see no lack of validity in a "purely
meta-boycott."
