Inevitably, every last corner of digital space that can have an ad, at some point will. PDFs are no exception, with Yahoo and Adobe joining forces to make in-PDF ads a reality.

"By partnering with Yahoo on this innovative advertising service, we are creating opportunities for publishers to build new businesses around unique content that previously was just given away or not available to a mass online audience," Adobe corporate development chief Rob Tarkoff said.

Easy solution. Uninstall that total slow loading bloat that is adobe reader and install the fast and small foxit reader instead. :)
 
Can't you just take a PDF with dynamic ads and "print" it to another PDF, with software such as PDF995, or similar?
It reminds me of the time when ICQ started to add ads into windows, people were hacking the program's .dll files to physically resize the window so it would no longer be big enough for the ad to be displayed.
 
ads in pdf's, GTFO.. the wars of the future will be fought not on battlefields but against advertising companies!!! lol
 
Soon we're going to have toilets that give an advertisement for Home Depot or Charmin or something.. The Charmin commercial will play when you flush, and the Home Depot song will play when you enter your bathroom.
 
The PDF ads are at the option of the publisher. If ads are wanted then the publisher would need to register an account and upload the PDFs for activation with the advertising. This really won't be all that different than there being websites with ads as well as websites without ads. Being at the option of the publishers is good in that at least that means there will not be advertising in PDFs clear across the board.
