I have Adobe Professional 9 in a large organization that has Adobe 8 Reader on most computers. I'd like to use the distribute forms feature, but I found that the recipients of my forms using version 8 get this warning message:

"This document has accessed more than one site, and might be trying to share date among different locations. This could be a privacy concern. Are you sure you want to continue?"

The Details button in this dialog box shows the two locations are Localhost and my email address.

Is there a way, besides upgrading everyone to Adobe 9 Reader, that this message can be prevented? I don't want hundreds of emails from recipients asking me about this. This message didn't occur using Adobe 8 Pro with 8 Reader, but I got 9 Pro because of new tracking features that I would like to use.

Thanks!

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

I am not aware of any way to suppress these annoying and often misleading messages in Acrobat (Reader) 8.

Considering the other advantages and the overall "quality" of Reader 8, particularly when it comes to "security"-related issues, upgrading to Reader 9 would be my recommended way to proceed. Acrobat (Reader) 9 has an improved "security"-handling model.

Hope this can help.
