Adobe reader does not fix my browser crashes.
When I click a .PDF document, they usually cause no problems, but if I click one of NXP's PDF documents, there's a 10% chance that it will crash my browser, and thus all my windows will be trashed (including some of my browsing history, so if I'm in the middle of something, I'll have to try and remember how I got there).
The right fix is to produce PDF-files that are not damaged by incorrect data.
All the PDF files I produce (eg. author) are 100% correct and can be read by everyone.
There is some PDF generator out there somewhere, which produces incorrect data, when it's encrypting the pages.
The solution is to generate the PDFs without the "encrypt" checkbox checked. It's fairly simple and easy; and it causes the PDFs to be readable by everyone, including older systems.
