Can anyone else confirm that with the new Reader X and XI updates, spaces in URLs get encoded as %2520 instead of %20 causing errors when the links are followed?  This  was/is not a problem with the earlier version of X nor with other pdf viewers.  I believe that this is a bug.

Could you please let me know the following details:

1. Your OS that you are working on.

2. The exact version of Adobe Reader on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader.

3. How exactly are the PDFs created. Were they created using the Acrobat PDFMaker or using the Adobe PDF Printer or any other 3rd party software.

4. Would it be possible for you to share any such PDF with us containing any dummy link which would exhibit this kind of problem.

Thanks

Ankit
