There is currently a critical security issue with Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, all versions. These programs have a security vulnerability that can be exploited to inflict users' systems with great damage.
As far as we know, our files, which we have personally made into PDFs, are safe. You should be able to download them or view them online with no problem. Due to the lack of specific information about exactly how this problem occurs or works, however, we cannot be absolutely certain. Our webmaster advises caution about viewing or downloading PDF files as you visit the internet or use e-mail. Use a good anti-virus program and be diligent about keeping it current. Check and make sure yours has addressed the issue with Reader before opening any PDF file.
