In Acrobat/Reader there are built-in 3 security handlers

This used to be 5 but the eBook security handler got moved into it's own application - Adobe Digital Editions, and the Entrust Certificate security handler was just removed.

So that's 4 PDF DRMs from Adobe .

But it's still worse than that because there are quite a few 3rd Party Acrobat/Reader plugins for DRM such as FileOpen and LockLizard.
