Lately adobe has begun integrating features of acrobat pro into reader... The buttons do not work they are just a ploy to get you online and contemplating upgrading to acrobat pro.

I have no problem with this... its a little sleazy... but whatever it's free!

My problem is that once you pay for pro... or pay 800 per year for creative cloud... those Calls to Action remain and serve as useless click bate to a product which i have already paid for.

Note i use Acrobat Pro 20x per day and need reader to review documents. I actually like the read only nature of reader.
