Adobe pro 9 requires mac admin password

I just restored my macbook air and reinstalled my adobe pro 9 software, but now I have to enter my admin password before I can open any pdf file.  How can I turn off this security feature?

This sounds like something needs to be repaired with the installation. I’d recommend uninstalling and then re-installing and updating to the most current version of Acrobat 9.

  • Adobe Pro 9 MAC - no installation CD

    I have a company serial for Adobe Pro 9 MAC but I don't have installation CD any longer, and I don't find it online. Can I install the version XI with the same serial, or where I can find the link?

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Form issues in Adobe Pro for Macs

    Can someone tell me how to solve an issue regarding Adobe Pro 9 for Macs?  I have developed forms in Adobe Pro 9 but they can not be viewed in Adobe but can be viewed in Preview. How can this issue be corrected?

    This is interesting, because I've had the same thing happen to forms I've created. In a most recent example, the form was filled out by an external person (someone outside our agency) and returned. When I opened the file, on my Mac, i could see the data entered into the fields. When a co-worker opened the file, on a PC, she didn't see anything and mistakenly thought the form was blank. However you could click into the field and then see that data had indeed been entered into each field.
    I opened the file to see if there was something wrong with the appearance properties -- making sure that text color was not blank, and also making sure that I hadn't selected an obscure font. The text color was black and the font was Helvetica. On a whim I changed the font to Times and all of a sudden the data in each field was viewable. However, i changed it back to Helvetica and it remained viewable. So, the act of changing the font made the data fields display; it didn't matter what font I chose. I just had to change it.
    When I looked up file properties, i did notice that the PDF Producer is Mac OS X 10.6.7 Quartz PDFContext, and so does that mean it was opened and fields filled in using Preview?

  • Adobe Pro Extended (Mac) and Adobe Professional (PC)

    Hi
    I need to make documents from Word into both Mac and PC having form fields which will allow the user to fill the document in and save it.
    I wanted  to know if Pro Extended for Mac and Professional for PC will both allow this.
    Thanks
    David

    There is no Adobe Pro Extended for the Mac. It is a PC only product. This can be done with Acrobat Pro on the Mac and PC or Acrobat Extended on the PC. I think the Standard version (PC only) now allows form creation, but you should double-check. PDF files that can be Reader enabled for saving form Data is restricted to 500 uses in Reader. Adobe sells a server-based product if you need to enable your pdf for more than 500 uses.

  • Script setting require an admin password to unlock preferences

    Hidden in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Advanced is a button to turn on or off requiring an administrator level password to unlock various System Preference options. This will secure certain preference options as defined in the /etc/authorization file.
    When you turn it on it will set to true that those preference options are to be secured and when you turn it off it will set the control to false. By making a copy of the file /etc/authorization and then doing a diff of the before and after copies you can see the changes. (Or open both copies and scroll through them.)
    However it seems it also sets a flag someone where else to indicate which mode it is in, this I somewhat expected because it is possible to manually modify the settings in /etc/authorization and it would need some overall method of determing which mode it is in.
    My problem is that I don't know where this overall flag is kept, it does not appear to be in /etc/authorization itself although I may have missed it.
    Does anyone know where this setting is?
    With this information it would be possible to then write a script to apply the changes to /etc/authorization and also set that overall flag for the purposes of pre-configuring a computer when imaging it.
    Thanks.

    its should disable but every time i open the system preferences still show up ????
    Or i should make restart ?
    That is a different question. Your initial question was about where the setting was.
    I never messed with the setting before and I have always had to unlock locked preferences.  I tried it just now, though, and it doesn't seem to do what it says it should. Maybe it does something but I don't know what it is.  You can try a restart or log out but I am doubtful it will make a difference.

  • PackageMaker: requiring admin password when it should not

    I've been seeing a really strange "anomoly" with a package I've created.
    None of the files in the package are configured to require the Admin password and the install
    destination is specified to be the user home directory.  However, with the *same* .pkg file, I
    see three different installations:
    1)  Everything goes along with minimal interaction and everything is installed where it
    should be.
    2)  Almost the same, except the user is presented a window asking where to install the
    package: the user directory or some other location.
    3)  With either of the two above, there may be a popup requesting the admin password.  But
    even with the correct password, the package files are not installed; even though the install
    is declared successful.  (I haven't been able to figure out where it thinks the files are going.)
    So there are really two questions.  First, why is the user ever queried about the destination
    of the package files when the package is configured to use the home directory.  Second,
    why is the user promoted for the admin password.
    As I said, this is with the same package file.  Double clicking it will present one of the
    scenarios above.
    This certainly makes for a poor installation experience.  I'm wondering it there is something
    I've done (ore haven't done) which would cause these to happen.
    Suggestions or comments welcome.
    Oh yes, it makes no difference whether I use the PackageMaker GUI or the command line
    interface.

  • Resetting admin password methods aren't working

    I have a MacBook pro running 10.5.2 which crashed. My cousin gave me an old HD from one of his old machines and now it works great but he can't remember the admin password (even with the hint- ugg). That means I can't make any changes (like upgrading the browser, or upgrading the OS). Anyway, I have the startup disc and tried using the methods given online for starting up when you have the disc but what I get doesn't match what the instructions say should show up (ie I don't get an option of 'utilities'. When I simply hit install it is requiring the admin password so obviously that doesn't work.
    Then I tried the single user mode many times and that isn't working. I'm having trouble telling where there are spaces in some of the commands and where there aren't spaces (eg "mount -uw <space>/" or without the space.
    I am so frustrated that I have the install disc and still can't get in that I can't stand it!!!
    Help please!

    Hello,
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Utilities from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.

  • Admin password won't work to install software

    I'm trying to install Photoshop and when it gets to the point where it asks for the password, I enter it but the password box just disappears for a second and returns asking for the password again.  (I entered it several times with the same result each time.)  I'm certain that I'm entering a valid admin password and that permissions for the applications folder are set to read & write for admin and system.  Just to be sure I tried entering the password incorrectly and the box shook as it normally would when an incorrect password is entered.  Has anyone had a similar problem with Adobe products or installing any other software on Lion? 
    Also, I just installed Adobe Lightroom last night and it worked just fine.  And when I just tried to run the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool which also asks for a password and I'm having the same problem.  So I know that it's not just Photoshop but I don't know if it's just something to do with Adobe or maybe all software which requires an admin password to install. 
    Trying to repair permissions and run a virus scan now although I think these two options are unlikely to fix the issue...

    It looks like repairing permissions did the trick.

  • Installing Java SE 6 runtime without admin password

    I work for a school district which uses JAMF's Casper suite to manage our Macs. We recently received a new shipment of mbp's which have been updated to 10.8.4. With Casper we are able to push out software packages without any end user involvement. This is especially convenient so we don't have to input the admin password with each install. We use a couple of Java based applications as well as Java enabled web sites for education. Problem is I can install JDK 7 Update 25.pkg which takes care of viewing webistes but when I attempt to open our Java desktop apps it asks if I want to install Java SE 6 runtime which requires an admin password. I've tried installing Java 6 from Apple's download page but when I attempt installing it says I must be running 10.6.x. Is there any way of installing runtime without an admin password and where might I find the runtime package. Sorry for the lengthy explanation. Thanks.

    JDK 7 Update 25.pkg
    That is the newest Java so you shouldn't need Java SE 6.

  • Problems with admin password

    Just purchased a MacBook Pro and changed admin password. I thought everything was fine but after I restarted, it won't accept it. Apple told me the only thing I can do now is to reinstall Mac OS X.
    I used the start up disc to re-install, clicked on OS X and bundled software and it asked for admin. password!!!! I'm lost as to what to do as it won't accept my password.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    thank you Robert Newall, your directions worked.

  • Are there installations that do not require an Administrator Password?

    I just installed the Camino web browser onto Leopard. I was suprised when Leopard did not ask for an Admin Password when installing it. I then simply downloaded another program and was able to install it without the Admin prompt. Leopard DID let me know that it was downloaded from the internet and if I "wanted to run it" but it just did not ask for the Admin stuff. Are there programs that Leopard does not ask Passwords for? If so, what is the criteria where it asks for a password?
    Thanks for your help.

    Some installers will work fine even if you don't provide an admin password. Apple officially recommends that application installers require an admin password. This gives that installer, software, and software developer complete control over your machine. Many application will work fine just with a drag-and-drop installer, but such installers are no longer recommended by Apple. It is possible to construct an installer that does not require an admin password but few people do it, and for good reason. The installer is a flaky beast at best and a smart developer doesn't want to take risks with it like that. So, the answer to your question is that the criteria is just that "Apple says so".
    Sorry if this doesn't make much sense. It is mostly a rant. I don't like the admin password requirement at all. I really don't like the recent recommendation of using the Apple installer for all applications. It is a safe bet that you will see fewer and fewer drag-and-drop installations in the future. Pretty much all installers will require your admin password. Pay attention to what they are installing because they can literally do whatever they want and wreak havoc with your system the next time you update your system.
