The problem is that every 'update' of Acrobat is to ensure Adobe protect their copyright - they have little interest in making it quicker, slicker or more user friendly - they just want to make it hard for people to milk their cash cow!

Which means you can bet that adobe are trying to find ways to do exactly what the OP asks; just a matter of time.

Meanwhile, the only hope for the rest of us is that Google buys Adobe and makes it free - before M$ buys Adobe and succeeds in making it 100% restricted!
