And a lot of things not going for it.

Adobe is an irresponsible company.

The product used poor encryption.

It won't let you print copies if the document has a flag set indicating not
to allow that.

Documents aren't actually documents but programs that are overly powerful, so
that reading untrusted documents is not safe.

They are slow to correct security problems with the product.
