I, however, have to connect to an external server to validate my unique user name and password for the pdf files I must read.  This is so I can read my text books online for my online university, CTUO.   I get an immediate error that states I need to connect to the network first before sending my user name and password.  I have tried in vain to get some information from Adobe on the matter, by using their UNIX forums.

I have never been able to open a pdf file on my Ubuntu Linux machine if the file requires online validation of a user name and password to decrypt an encrypted file.  This remains the only reason I have to use a windows computer, besides my own.
