Adobe Acrobat Error Message

Ah, what wondrously cryptic dispatches lie just beneath the surface of modern software. Not only is the phrase “Portable Document Format File Format” a fine example of descriptive over-exuberance (not unlike the Beach Boys tune which waxes lyrical on the populous fashion of wearing huarache sandals), but I find the whole idea of having an error message for an error message downright charming. This very nearly useless dialog box was kindly submitted by Mr Popiel, who always seems to have these things pop up right when he needs to get something accomplished.
