(Dulles VA): "I have no problem with Kinko's having this plug-in," writes Chaletzky. "I don't even have a problem with Adobe having created this plug-in. What I, and most of my colleagues object to, is Adobe distributing this plug-in to every Adobe Acrobat and Reader user. "If this was done truly to benefit 'customers who already are printing and shipping through FedEx/Kinko's', [as Adobe says], then it should have been up to Kinko's to distribute this plug-in to their customers, rather than for Adobe to distribute it to everyone else's customers. "Adobe's response to this fiasco is obvious. Adobe should immediately issue yet another update that will remove this addition to the program[s] and let FedEx/Kinko's distribute it to their clients that want it."

Ken Chaletzky, president of Copy General Corp. (Dulles VA):

“I have no problem with Kinko’s having this plug-in,” writes Chaletzky. “I don’t even have a problem with Adobe having created this plug-in. What I, and most of my colleagues object to, is Adobe distributing this plug-in to every Adobe Acrobat and Reader user.

“If this was done truly to benefit ‘customers who already are printing and shipping through FedEx/Kinko’s’, [as Adobe says], then it should have been up to Kinko’s to distribute this plug-in to their customers, rather than for Adobe to distribute it to everyone else’s customers.

“Adobe’s response to this fiasco is obvious. Adobe should immediately issue yet another update that will remove this addition to the program[s] and let FedEx/Kinko’s distribute it to their clients that want it.”

FedEx Kinko's has its place in the market, but the company is not the best choice for many types of customers and many types of projects. We print books for authors and corporations and I know we do a better job because we know a lot more about publishing than any Kinko's front-line staff. Adobe should help print customers find the best place to print their projects instead of leading all customers to FedEx Kinko's. The Button Must Go.
