Acrobat Annoyances II
The master of Acrobat and FrameMaker annoyances is Shlomo Perets of Microtype. As he points out, the automatic link finder in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 6 and 7 can fail if the web address is split across lines, or if the address includes underscores or dots. Autorecognition of e-mail addresses can fail for the same reasons.
The solution? Always create links with your authoring program so you don’t rely on Acrobat or Reader to find them.
Shlomo has a great publication on PDF Best Practices. Also check out the section at his web site that could be called “Botched Practices” for things not to do with Acrobat.
