The context is the page http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/configuring-the-system-for-point-and-click and the issue of activating point-and-click on Windows in Acrobat Reader. The message quoted by Federico is an official statement of an Adobe staff member, and this tells us that from Adobe Reader X onwards it will not be possible to enable LilyPond's point-and-click links. My suggestion is to add a note to said LilyPond doc page saying e.g. "please note that it is not possible to make point-and-click work with Adobe Reader version X or above." Probably this should go after the second paragraph. I think Adobe Reader is important enough for new or potential LilyPond users on Windows that this disclaimer should be there.
