Adobe Reader X protected mode

I can't save changes to a PDF document even after disabling protected mode in Adobe Reader X - what gives?

Nevermind- from Acrobat Pro you have to save-as PDF with Reader X options chosen... solved!

Adobe Reader XI Protected Mode WhitelistConfig

Adobe Reader XI Protected Mode is blocking a link in PDF. The link is to an internal document management system: HP TRIM.
If Protected Mode is disabled the link opens successfully.
If Protected Mode is enabled the link fails to open yet nothing is logged in AdbeReaderBroker.log to help identify what is being blocked.
e.g. whitelistconfig.txt
[08:21/15:40:06] Adobe Reader Protected Mode Logging Initiated

What other troubleshooting steps can help identify what policy rule is blocking this link?
Further testing has identified that the embedded links worked with Protected Mode prior to Adobe Reader XI Patch 11.0.03.

Adobe Security Team provided a hotfix for this issue which will be included in the next quarterly release.
They also advised that the following registry value was required for the Trim:// url to function in Protected Mode:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown\cDefaultLaunchURLPerms]
"tSchemePerms"=".....|trim:2"

Adobe Reader XI protected mode problem

I downloaded Reader XI and went to open a pdf that previously worked with Reader. But Adobe Reader XI won't open (says problem with "protected mode"). I can't open any pdf's either on my computer or on the internet at trusted sights. Troubleshooting takes me to a page on fixes for Reader X. Not helpful! Any ideas? (I uninstalled and reinstalled and still won't work.)

Adobe Reader requiring Protected mode disabled

I know this is somehow a 3rd party related problem, however I would like to discuss why this is happening.
We upgraded our servers from 2008 R2 to 2012 and suddenly Adobe Reader started to get" There was an error opening this document. Access denied." I wonder why this is happening. I found that edit >preferences > disable "Enable protected
mode at startup" would fix the problem.
I also wonder if this also is not related to Windows Server 2012 standard, but only happens when deduplication is enabled as all our data drives are deduplicated now (with great success).

Although this is probably an Adobe Reader issue, but same thing here: Adobe Reader 11.0.7 with same options enabled and now on Server 2012R2 RDS saying 'access denied' which only can be solved by disabeling 'Protected mode', what nobody actually wants.
Any solutions available?

APSA11-01 - Reader X - Protected Mode unsupported Citrix and no release until June 2011

HI,
how does you handle the support for Citrix on Terminalserver in such situation?
The overall pain is that Adobe release a Security advisories but will only deliver in June 2011 the update for Reader X.
Official info:
Because Adobe Reader X Protected Mode would prevent an exploit of this kind from executing, we are currently planning to address this issue in Adobe Reader X for Windows with the next quarterly security update for Adobe Reader, currently scheduled for June 14, 2011
http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/2011/03/security-advisory-for-adobe-flash-player-adobe-reader -and-acrobat-apsa11-01.html
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-01.html
The really bad strategy for Enterprise customers on Citrix is .. that it does mean we need to run supported but unsecure for more then 2 months for 5000 users. The problem is that Reader X is not supported on Citrix with protected mode. This is on page 64 on Enterprise Admin Guide:
When Adobe Reader is used with Protected Mode enabled (the default), Citrix is not supported.
Administrators should disable and lock Protected Mode.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Enterprise_Administration.pdf
Why does Adobe not think and support their Enterprise customer deployments and think there is no need to deploy inline with the other updates e. g. 9.x???
This goes to the strategy to go away on Enterprise environments from Adobe as you can't argue to use it this way and be unsecure.

Hi,
does anyone know, when Adobe is planning to support Citrix with Reader X Protoected Mode?

Acrobat Reader X Protected mode and DDE

Hi,
I have an acrobat reader plug-in that we communicate with using DDE commands (based loosly on the DDEserver sample from the SDK). However, it doesn't work in Acorbat Reader X Protected mode.
I've tried using the ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt method but to no avail.
Did anyone encounter this issue with plug-ins that uses DDE? Can anyone point me to solution or alternative way?
Thanks,
Yoav

Thanks for the reply.
IF the whitelist is indeed the correct way, i couldn't make it work with it. I must say that the documentation out there on the whitelist is far from being perfect. The closest thing I found was about namedpipes in the Broker log but nothing on DDE.
As for the license and developer support - The license was granted years ago and I'm not sure if developer support is still active for us. How do I check this?

Define adobe reader 11 protected view privileged locations via the registry

Is it possible to define adobe reader 11 protected view privileged locations via the registry?
I need to add the folder path our docuemnt managment system uses for its temp directory.
Thanks

I modified the transform file I use to deploy reader via group policy with the adobe customization wizard and specified the desired privileged locations.
I then did a test deploy of reader to a workstation and adobe reader 11.0.02 was installed. None of the privileged locations I defined in the transform are showing up as being defined in the GUI and they are not in the registry @ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\TrustManager\cTrustedFolders I used filemon to figure out where reader was writing to in the registry.
I don’t know if there are issues with certain parts of the transform being ignored when installing the software. I have noticed that if I install adobe reader via the command line and apply the transform, the installer completely ignores the transform but gives no errors.

How are permissions set for Reader XI Protected Mode?

Hi, all,
I've just installed Reader XI, and I immediately ran into an issue with Protected Mode "protecting" me from my workflow. I'm trying to access a .kml file on my desktop to import some annotations into a Reader Enabled PDF file. When I get the popup window saying that I don't have permissions to open this file, I head for the Reader security settings. Adobe kindly provided us with a UI to select files, folders, and hosts to treat as priviledged. I enter my desktop folder's path using the UI, and save. I restart Reader, expecting this setting to help. In fact, the security UI reports that my desktop folder is priviledged, which is good. The operation still fails, with the exact same error message. Is this the anticipated behavior, and if so, what is the privileged file, folder, and host for? I can't read or write files to my priviledged locations. Is this correct?
Thanks
Joe White

Does it work if you change the file extension to .xml from .kml?

Cannot run reader in protected mode with MS Office 2010

I just set up 6 identical Dell Optiplex XE machines with Office Home and Business 2010 pre-loaded. Reader 10.1.1 will run in protected mode if it is installed before I go through the Office 2010 activation/installation procedure. On the 2 machines where Office was set up before installing Adobe reader, protected mode will not work. If protected mode is not enabled, I cannot go into preferences - general and turn the protected mode log to try to debug this problem. For now I an running those two machines with protected mode off. Has anyone else seen this?

You should always use official documentation for support details but I am pretty sure Windows 7 support was not available for the EAS client until 11.1.1.3.

Adobe Reader XI fullscreen mode now leaves title bar on Mac

Has anyone run into this problem? I just upgraded Adobe Reader X (for the Mac) to Reader XI. When I go into fullscreen mode or open a fullscreen document, a title bar is left at the top with the document title and the upper left buttons. This did not happen in versions IX or X; kinda defeats the purpose of the fullscreen mode for presentations. Is this a bug? Or a new "feature"? I'm still running Snow Leopard and haven't tried in 10.7 or 10.8.

I am having the very same problem!
Snow Leopard and the annoying title bar when in fullscreen.
Notice that it also shows the resize "handle" in the bottom right corner, which you can click and drag to resize the window.
So it actually is NOT a fullscreen view anymore.
I guess this has to do with Lion's OS fullscreen mode, but Adobe please correct this!!!
ADOBE, ARE YOU READING THIS? This title bar is an ISSUE!

Adobe Reader Password Protect PDF

I'm using a Dell PC and I have a question about password protecting. Can I do it on the free version? And if so, how can I do it? (with detailed instructions) Or what would I have to purchase if I am unable to?

Not possible with Adobe Reader. Possible with Adobe Acrobat.

Adobe Reader XI - Protection pane not available

In Adobe Reader XI I don't have the following:
1) The Protection pane in Tools,
2) The Show or Hide icon in the Task pane,
3) Protection under View > Tools.
The Support pages say I should have all these. I have none.

Thanks to each of you for reply.
I do agree there is confusion. Even the support page I was looking at was a bit unclear as to which software it was referring to. I see now that you really have to look.

Adobe Reader and protected pdf files, need better pdf reader

If Adobe will not fix the app for the Playbook, will Blackberry remove the reader and add Pdf to Go, so we can read protected pdfs? Pdf to go works fine on my blackberry phone. I can not remove the password from the pdf it is protected with a unknown password from my estatement vendor.

Unable to open password protected PDF files on the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet
I went through this today with one. It opened on my PC with no issue and was a simple PDF
I hope they add more support in OS 2.1 once it is released.

Issue with latest Adobe Reader 11.0.10 - Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to incompatibility with your system configuration.

Since updating to the most recent Adobe Reader v11.0.10, getting an Adobe Reader Protected Mode: Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due do an incompatibility with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?

The solution I was looking for was to launch Adobe Reader in Protected Mode.
I could not identify issues preventing Protected Mode from starting. What ended up working, was to do a complete uninstall, followed by a reinstall. Now we can load Reader in Protected Mode.

Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode

I apologize if this is listed in the wrong category.
Recently, all users on our server started receiving a message: "Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected mode disabled?" The users are presented with 3 options:
Open with Protected Mode disabled
Always open with Protected Mode disabled
Do not open with Protected Mode disabled.
All the users can click "Open with Protected Mode disabled" and the PDF opens fine. I know that I can disable Protected Mode but I would rather not have to disable a security feature.
I have read this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/protected-mode-troubleshooting-reader.html and none of the provided solutions seem to apply to us. I have tried a rebooting the server and uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe. Neither of these options worked. There is not an antivirus currently running on this server. We are not using Smart Cards. I have checked the Security permissions and they seem to be fine. I can not think of any recent changes to this server, but it has run just fine for years now.
OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Acrobat Version is 11.0.10
Is anyone aware of anything else that could cause this message? Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
That option is not there on my version though. I am using version 11.0.10
