[nfbcs] Enable All Features in Acrobat was RE: office 2010 accessibility question

[Jude DaShiell]

Ah, okay we can only use 10.x now and likely will only be able to use 
12.x for the next few years.  I also found out not only did acrobat 
start in protected mode, the document was also password protected.  I 
wish acrobat had told me both of those things explicitly together 
because I would have not wasted about a week's worth of work.
