Default Adobe PDF vulnerability?

Okay, I have gotten a few tickets of users asking me to convert their Word docs into PDF's and so I'm like "wtf, mate, this is supposed to be a professional environment, what's up with these window lickers?"

So I ask our CIO what gives, he says that a year ago Adobe says there's a security problem with the PDF printer which usually comes pretty much standard with any Adobe product.

news to me.

So I goes troo all da old tix looking for this thing but I can't find it.

Does anyone know what the heck he's talkin about? has it been patched? Can we re-allow the Adobe PDF printer?

As much as I love office jockey work, I occasionally have something better to do...

The only Flaws i have seen with Adobe has been with Reader and Flash. Not with the PDF Printer.

Yeah, there were known security risks with Acrobat, which we already patched.
