And "of course" there are ways of reading PDF files other than with
Acrobat and Windows. I'm thinking specifically of tools like xpdf and
ghostscript, which know quite well how to get around traditional
Acrobat PDF encryption.

Wthether the remoteapproach.com documents locks these other viewers out
or not, I don't know.

If a manufacturer chooses to publish its datasheets in any given
obscure evil way is up to them, but if viewing them is not a benign
process then I won't view them and I won't buy their parts.

Data*** wholesalers are another ball of wax!
