No, not really.  ActiveX controls are IE's plugins, so you have to install
it in order to view.  Since Adobe Acrobat Reader usually does this for you
though, it's usually not much of a concern.  The majority of users out there
have Acrobat Reader installed already, usually from an installation program.
