Half of my day job is supporting about 40 users in our companies New York office. The last 4 infections that I've been able to look into involved adobe reader in one form or another. I've only seen one malicious pdf file, most of the time it's JavaScript that loads reader and delivers a payload. I haven't quite figured out that part yet, and frankly I don't care enough. I'm satisfied knowing the cause.
I keep reader up to date but often these exploits hit either right after an update as been released so the patch hasn't been applied, or there just isn't a patch yet. It's almost enough to make me switch to foxit. I just have to do the research to see if it supports the advanced features (forms, digital signatures, encrypted files) that people are using.
