I searched and didn't find your IP in our logs.

Nice.  I personally don't have a Mac, so what program are you using to look
at the PDF?  Apple Preview?
I've also noticed that almost every third party application in Linux that
can look at a PDF is also safe from this.
I think this is Adobe specific.  I'm going to make a listed of affected and
non-affected PDF viewers.

Thank you for trying this out.
