I have installed Acrobat Reader 9, and some of the extra files required to view Japanese, along with the Safari plugin, so things are working for me. I do think that JPod101 missed a beat here by not running a news podcast justifying and warning of the change before many of us subscribers were treated to the nasty shock of seeing ticky-tacky little boxes on the pageside. To answer my own question, there is a discussion thread in the forum dealing with this:

It was completely blank in Windows and just shows boxes in Mac. The Kanji Close-Up is okay, though. I also still can’t open the PDF.
