What happens is that the RestHandler for ScriptMethods detects the custom error handling is enabled and literally throws out […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Adobe to remove Kinkos integration from Acrobat The print industry really didn’t like the move by Adobe to integrate Kinkos into Adobe Reader. The backlash was swift and severe, so now Adobe has decided to drop the integration to keep the printers happy.
