Spaces in URLs problem w/ new Reader X and XI updates

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,

Is this related to the error where the pdf when using formsubmit to submit fdf data to a server, gives a HTTP 400 error. Seems like junk characters are getting added to the end of the Referer URL from the IE Adobe plugin after the latest update 11.0.1

Hi eliasct,

Would it be possible for you to share the refferer URL being accessed when you receive the Error 400 for the Form Submit action being carried out at your end. It would help in seeing if this is the same issue as being discussed in this thread.
