The link to that letter should be displayed in every major product forum.


I notice that Lambert Walsh, VP, Technical Services doesn't give his own contact details but at least it shows some kind of awareness.

    Too bad they aren't including Jive "snake oil" Software in that letter...

    Several months ago, somewhere in these vast forums, somone posted that Adobe was in the middle of re-doing customer service. I think it was maybe 4 months ago? So the process that generated this letter is over 4 months old.

    That sounds reasonable. If they really are switching to a completely new CS/TS provider, I expect it to take no less than 6 months, considering the size of Adobe's client base and number of products.

    Maybe finally Adobe is waking up and understanding what damage their technical/customer service is causing them. Of course, they will continue to outsource it (which is what "a new global service provider" really means) and don't seem to consider implementing an in-house CS/TS department.

    Still, at least they're acknowleding the problem...

    The letter also doesn't carry a date, but the document properties show that it was created 2009-08-27.  (Just in case anybody was wondering.)

    Am I the only one here to think "What letter"? If not, here it is:

    That file's properties are pretty revealing.

    When I first looked, I must admit I saw Quark where it says Quartz. Nevertheless, they might have put the right author's name in and used their own product to produce a proper PDF. See Harbs's comment for a possible explanation.
