The FileOpen plugin that you can use with Adobe Reader for pdf documents is used for drm for ebooks and other documents that you typically have to buy from someone. I have known for some time that the FileOpen plug in will stop letting you use your paid-for documents if it detects that you have certain programs for modifying the drm on pdf's (such as Elcomsoft's APDFPR) installed even those that only work when you already have the password to open the document in the first place. What I just discovered now is that FileOpen either monitors your web surfing or at least has a list of url's or keywords it looks for in your browser which will automatically close your protected pdf documents if you go to a site. All I did was go to a page where they discuss Elcomsofts APDFPR and it pops up a message that says 'The Publisher of this document has requested that it not be opened while password cracking programs are running. Please close all such programs then try again to open the document.'
Considering that APDFPR, is legal, does not crack FileOpen and the fact that the program is not actually running but is only being researched indicates that the FileOpen software is clearly monitoring a variety of user activities on their on PC's. I don't remember giving FileOpen permission to monitor my websurfing habits in order to enforce their view of what copyright law should be but isn't (ie. They don't believe in fair use).
I looked at the plug-n downloads at the FileOpen site -- the zip file didn't contain any files after July 2010 and Reader X was released just a few days ago. Did you install the FileOPen plugin after the installation of Adobe Reader X?
I could not find any info about this issue on google. FileOpen is made by a company called FileOpen at fileopen.com There is no Eula. It is just a free plugin that you can download that will let you view files that have been encrypted/protected through its FileOpen Web Publisher product that it sells to companies that want to put DRM on their pdf documents. In some cases the document requires that you sign in with your account to whatever site you bought it from. Other files come as an.exe and running it generates a unique identifier for your pc which you have to send back to the publisher for an authorization key you enter to extract the pdf.
Those pdf's cannot be moved to another computer without being reauthorized with a new unique identifier. Publishers can restrict printing, text selection, how the file is viewed, changing the document, copying text, and a bunch of other things.
One thing I noticed is that on print allowed documents you are not allowed to choose any printer except the default in order to prevent you from printing to a file. Similarly the plugin will also detect files that have had their protection removed and will refuse to let you open them. Removing the plug in is relatively easy, you just delete a couple dll files from your adobe reader software directory.
