Adobe's playing catch-up...

Introducing Adobe Reader Protected Mode

....Scheduled for inclusion in the next major version release of Adobe
Reader, [sic] Protected Mode is a sandboxing technology based on Microsoft�s
Practical Windows Sandboxing technique. It is similar to the Google Chrome
sandbox and Microsoft Office 2010 Protected Viewing Mode...

With Adobe Reader Protected Mode enabled (it will be by default), all
operations required by Adobe Reader to display the PDF file to the user are
run in a very restricted manner inside a confined environment, the
�sandbox.� Should Adobe Reader need to perform an action that is not
permitted in the sandboxed environment, such as writing to the user�s
temporary folder or launching an attachment inside a PDF file using an
external application (e.g. Microsoft Word), those requests are funneled
through a �broker process,� which has a strict set of policies for what is
allowed and disallowed to prevent access to dangerous functionality.
