Good example of how the implementation of unnecessary restrictions, without proper consideration of how such restrictions would impede users, can harm your product. I hope all software doing the same on android (safetynet, prevent screenshots, etc) follow Acrobat reader into irrelevance.
- lxgr 3y agoExclusive locking is simply the default on Windows.
- pbmonster 3y agoSure, but for a viewer, deviating from that default makes a lot of sense. I started using Sumatra years ago exclusively because of that feature. Exports/compiles failing, just because the PDF is still open somewhere is just unbelievably annoying.
- lxgr 3y agoDefinitely! I'm just providing some background on why "lock by default" is so common for Windows applications, and so rare on Unix: It's the defaults.
