I have some non-Linux partitions mounted on my gentoo box with write permission. The /etc/fstab is something like: /dev/sda1 /winfs/winxp ntfs-3g users,umask=000 0 0 /dev/sda14 /winfs/backup vfat users,umask=000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=936 0 0 When I try to save a copy of PDF file viewed in acroread to one of these non-Linux partitions, I fail, told by the acroread that "You don't have permission to write to this file". But evince does NOT suffer from this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open an arbitrary PDF file in acroread. 2. Save it as a copy to a FAT32/NTFS partitions on which you have write permission. Actual Results: Acroread denies to write to the file, saying "You don't have permission to write to this file". Expected Results: Acroread write to the file.

Sounds like upstream would be the better address for this issue.
