Problems with permissions in Acrobat 9.1

I´m having problems with the edition permissions in acrobat 9.1 pro extended.
I´m trying to stamp a FDF with corrects values into a PDF with security and changes allowed to fill in forms.
the problem is this:
I choose a permission password and a level of changes allowed.
Then save and close. And my aplication to stamp the FDF doesn´t work.
But, if I open again the PDF and MODIFY the "changes allowed" to any level of them, It seems to doesn´t matter any of them while I modify it. Then save and close again... and... Magic! the stamp works.
I´m looking for an reason for this all the day. But I don´t find any explanation. I suppose that acrobat would make some changes each time the rectrictions are modified... but I´m not sure.
Does anybody know why could be happening this or what does acrobat exactly?
Thanks a lot if someone can help me.
and sorry for my bad english ^^

Hello and thax for responding.
No, that was one of the first things we tried.
My helpful guy in the store went into Terminal and tried to figure out why all the files were tied to Administrator and needed Root password to move or delete.
Even the folder that he created via Terminal (he added a folder just to see what happended) got the + mark after it and was there by not able to move or add files into, without admin password.
I also used the 10.6 startup DVD to go in and try to reset the ACL for my internal SSD drive, but that did not seem to help either.
There is something about these files and disk that is not giving my Macbook permissions to change the info.
Can also maybe be good to know that before the disk crashed, I managed to use time maschine to back it up. I hooked up the disk to my computer, added another backup disk and backed up my Internal MacBook drive together with the (about to) crashing disk. Then I copied the info from this time machine disk on to the New Drive.
What I believe I need is to re-write the permissions on the disk so that not only admin are allowed to change the info but I have no idea how to do that.
Hope this gives you a little more of a clue what´s is going on and that you have an idea how to solve it.
Thanx

Printing Problems with PDF - Adobe Acrobat

Printer - HP Deskjet 3070A
Laptop - Asus Zenbook running Windows 7 Home Premium
Issue: Printing problems with PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Dear All,
Please help!
My printer was working absolutely perfectly until my brother in law recently needed to borrow my printer. He plugged in his laptop running Windows 8 (awful thing that is). Since he did this to print his own PDF, I cannot print mine.
Although all the text will appear on the page perfectly both in the document view and on actual printing, it appears that some of the transparent formatting stuff on a PDF - such as boxes you have to fill in and transparent areas (such as you find on glorious tax forms) are omitted completely. In fact, in their place I was getting a single black dot. Now, after uninstalling and re-installing updates for the printer, windows 7, adobe acrobat reader, etc.etc. I get squat. Just all the text laid out but none of the shading or boxes.
I have tried fiddling with the printer settings; the print as 'photo' option, dpi settings, greyscale - as much as I can think of and I am thoroughly stumped.
In a desperate attempt, I even installed the Universal Printer Drivers - thinking it might have been that. No. All I got was a page of gobbledygook. Consequently, I uninstalled and reinstalled the normal drivers again.
If there are any wonderful people out there with any fabulous ideas about how I can get my shading and boxes back; I'd very much appreciate it. Sadly I have a tax return to fill out (which is already fabulously late) and need my printer to work!
Much appreciation in advance x

Hey there @Reverie!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see that the printer is no longer printing in the correct format after it was plugged into the Windows 8 computer! You mentioned you have run the updates and uninstalled/re-installed the printer software. Have you uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe software? Are you getting the same issue from other programs as well? Are you getting the same issues if you are logged in as a different user on the computer?
I have located the HP Update Software Utility that may be able to help. You can download an run the utility. It may be able to locate any other updates for the printer.
I would also recommend running a disk cleanup on the computer to clear any temporary files and junk files that may be causing some performance or software issues. If you do not know how to run a disk cleanup on the computer please follow this document regarding Delete files using Disk Cleanup. It is recommended to restart the computer after a disk cleanup. After the restart try the print job again!
Let me know if that helped and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

Problem with permissions in Aperture 2.4.1. after installing mountain lion, did repair permissions but it stop at 3/4 of the repair cycle? Does anyone know what to do, my library is 94gigs!

I tried all solutions to get my library permissions corrected, but nothing worked. Is this a known problem with ugrading to mountain lion for Aperture 2.4.1.? Does anyone have a new solution to get my library working again?
Thanks for any help.

I purchased CS6 and had problems with the Adobe Acrobat Pro so i uninstalled and now need to reinstall but serial number wont work. How can i reinstall ONLY Adobe Acrobat Pro since its included in CS6?

I purchased Design Standard CS6 the entire package. I downloaded and installed but I was continually having problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro. I tried updating to the newest version but it only made the problems worse (acrobat was super slow and constantly not responding). So i decided to try to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Well I uninstalled, and then attempted to reinstall ONLY the adobe acrobat pro but it says my serial number (which is for design standard) will not work. Since Acrobat Pro is included in the suite, i thought this wouldnt be a problem. Is there anyway to get around this without uninstalling the entire design standard and reinstalling everything? I only need to reinstall acrobat pro.

You need to reinstall Acrobat the the Creative Suite, you cannot download it is a separate application and install it that way because it will be looking for a serial number relative to being a singly purchased application.

Problem with printing from Acrobat Reader XI

SInce I installed Acrobat Reader XI I have got problems with printing out pages. The text starts a bit down (2 cm) on the paper, resulting that the last part of the text on the page will be missing. And the missing part does not follow on page 2, it just don´t comes out!
It doesn´t matter what settings i click in on the print setting page in Acrobat Reader, it always gets the same result.
Does anyone know what can be the problem?

No files appeared in C:\Users\Pavilion\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings but they did appear in Distiller.
I tried to copied them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Settings, but found they were already there. I copied them by adding -COPY before .joboptions in the name. Now they appeared in Printing Preferences with the -COPY added.
I tested a print from Word (using File / Print), but was not prompted for the filename or location. I checked my entire system and couldn't find the PDF file anywhere. I tried changing the Port to Desktop\*.pdf using Printer Properties, but that didn't work either.
I was able to successfully use the Acrobat menu item in Word & Excel to create a PDF but it automatically created the file on the Desktop without an option to change the filename.
After several days and hours, I gave up and installed Acrobat X on the W7 computer. I can still use Acrobat XI on the W8 computer. So be it!
Thanks anyway for your attempts to help.

Problem with permissions when upgrading to Yosemite...

I have twice tried to upgrade to Yosemite with the same results each time. Once the installation completes and it goes through the final reboot to start the system, immediately upon start-up, it shows a dialogue box that says something along the lines of, "Yosemite needs to repair your Library." I do authorize it to do a repair, but it seems nothing actually happens.
Yet another problem is also immediately evident at startup, and that is that several of my folders are irrevocably locked..."I don't have permission." This includes folders in my User Library, a folder on my Desktop which is vital to my work, and the Downloads folder. If I try to go to the Get Info area to unlock it, in the Permissions area it says "Fetching", to see who has permissions, but it never stops Fetching. And if I click on the "+" to add a user permission, it hangs and necessitates a hard restart.
Also, when opening Safari, it can't find Safari's keychain or can't access it, and it asks me to reset to default settings.
I'm thinking this all has to do with a bug in the Permissions, but I don't know where the bug is or how to address it. I have gone back to Mavericks twice now, and I don't see any problems with the permissions on the Downloads file, for instance. Also, it seems entirely random as to which files are locked and which aren't, which adds to the confusion.
Any help would be appreciated.

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Thanks.

Problem with (MSIE?) Acrobat 8.2.0. Uninstalling/installing

First of all:
Trying to uninstall and re-install Acrobat as it apparently got (messed up) when some fool installed Acrobat Reader 9.3 on the same computer, or at least, so I've been lead to believe. I had been trying to modify a security setting on a couple of PDF's and wasn't able to do it, then noticed that the occasional updates were not installing, so I was told (here and elsewhere) that I was going to continue experiencing problems as long as I had Reader AND Acroat installed.
I managed to uninstall Reader this AM but when trying to either uninstall OR repair Acrobat, I continually get the same message, to wit:
"Windows Installer
This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer patch package."
OK, so I go looking thru a LOT of KB articles and finally come to understand that the message refers to a WINDOWS (MSIE) installer problem, not a problem with Acrobat, per se. The recommended action was to use the MSIECUU (Clean Up Utility), except that THAT seems to have been deleted by Microsoft as being not the greatest thing to do to one's registry entries.
Sooooo....
I'm stumped, it's hot and I've been futzing with this chazzerai all day.
What do I do now? All I wanna do is change a few security settings, get Acrobat back to where it was, go home and have a martoonie.

Ah, the anti-virus... of course! I will do this next time I'm at the shop
(2 weeks).

Sudden problem with permissions

Hello
Was working on an Indesign file this morning and when I came to open it again this afternoon I got this message...
"Cannot open the document...
You may not have permission or the document may be open already"
I have no idea why this has happened, I've not changed anything in the system preferences to do with permissions and the document is definitely not already open.
I've tried quiting and restarting InDesign but that didn't fix anything.
Can anyone help? I really need to open this file again!!!

Hi John
Started Mac up this morning and the InDesign file opened without any problems. Think it may have been due to network issues, as during the time I was working on the file the IT dept had set up access to a network folder on my Mac, so this is probably the most logical explanation. I've not accessed the network folder this morning and the InDesign file has been ok.
Thanks!

Problems with PERMISSIONS VERIFY

Hello. I'm using Panther 10.3.9 and I'd never seem to have problems with my permissions verify utility until yesterday when a message appeared saying: "disk utility has lost it's connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility". I've done this several times but the message keeps appearing once and again, and of course, no permissions verify task done. I've run Norton, Diskwarrior and Cocktail, and nothing seems to fix the problem. Can someone help me please???

Mauris,

Please read the sticky announcement posted by Brian

Thank you very much.

Problem with permissions on files brought down from server

We have 19 new macPros running 10.5.2. Users log in as a standard users. They often have a need to move files down from a NAS on the network and then pass those file onto another department for additional work and output. Unfortunately, even though the user is listed as the owner of the file the group and guest are set to read only and the permissions are locked and the user cannot unlock the file permissions without an administrator name and password (which we would rather not give them). We did not have these problems with Tiger. Anyone know what is going on with these permissions?
This is happening on all the machines? Is this normal or is there a problem with the installation? The machines were all imaged using the same software.

I guess we're the only ones?
What make is your NAS Alex?

Problem with Permissions while accessing Portal Content

Dear All,
Im facing some problems with the permission in accessing the portal content.
When i right click on any of the folders in the catalog displayed under the System Administration - > System Configuration -> System Landscape -> Content directory provided by SAP . I get the following Menu options on right click -> NEW -- > Folder, Change ID, Copy, Delete.
I dont get a option such as NEW --> System(from template) which is important to configure the ABAP ECC 6.0 System with the EP 7.0 to enable logon through the Portal to access the ABAP Database through Web browser.
I have installed EP 7.0 JAVA stack alone separately and ECC 6.0 ABAP stack alone separately.
I have tried assigning System Admin Role, Super User Role, Group as Administrators. But nothing seems to work.
Im not sure of the roles to be assigned.
thanks,
Deepak
Edited by: Deepak M on Jul 1, 2009 1:16 PM

Deepak,
Try giving the foll roles,
pcd:portal_content/administrator/super_admin/super_admin_role
and groups,

Problem with permissions after NOT installing 10.5.3

A few weeks ago when Software Update asked me if I wanted to install 10.5.3 I said no, since I wanted to wait for a while to see if there were any problems first before I went ahead with it. According to Software Update, 10.5.3 has been downloaded on my computer, but not installed, although I can't find it anywhere.
Ever since then things have been getting increasingly weird. I thought I had most of the problems solved after booting from the Leopard disk and repairing ACLs and permissions. However, after I shut my computer down for the night, and rebooted the next morning, all my problems were back and a few new ones. Now I have to log in each time I reboot the computer. I have to log in each time I open Mail. I can't unlock anything. I click the lock and nothing happens. Time Machine has stopped working again and is no longer backing up my data. When I click on "Get Info" for my HDs or apps, Sharing and Permissions says I have custom access - all the rest is greyed out, and I can't unlock anything. I seem to have lost permission to make any changes! Very frustrating!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes, I can access the Time Machine application.
Following up on your previous suggestion, even though I'm listed as admin in the Accounts pane, I thought it was worth a shot, so I followed the steps set out in the Apple article TS1278: "Mac OS X 10.5: Administrator user changes to standard".
After booting from my Install DVD, and resetting the password for the System Administrator (root), I restarted from my Mac, selected "Other" in the login window, and tried to log in as System Administrator (root) with the password I'd chosen, but it wouldn't log me in. All that happened was the login window trembled a bit, then cleared, and that was that. I tried a number of times, with the same result. Do you have any idea what I can do to correct that? Because it sounded like the process described in this article could very well fix my permissions problems.
Thanks for your help.

Problems with permissions when backing up to external hardrive

I have two external hardrives. One I use for time machine, and the other I just copy and paste my computer's hardrive. I like to have a couple back up locations.
The problem: Lately when I try the copy and paste operation it gets started then inevitable halts with the message, "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access "Keychain Access.app".
I've run "repair disk permissions" and erased everything on the external before starting. Same problem. Any ideas?
BTW, the Time Machine backup to my G-drive has not experienced this problem.

You need to use dedicated cloning software such as Carbon Copy Cloner and not just copy/paste.

Problem with submit button - Acrobat/Reader

I have created a simple fillable form with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with a submit button, form posted to the web. The form/button works fine for me in Google Chrome, IE, and Safari (Windows 8, Outlook email client) but doesn't seem to work for users with only Adobe Reader (9 was tested using an older version of Windsows and Outlook). After completing the form successfully, they are returned the error message: "This operation is not permitted" when they attempt to submit their form using the submit button. I'm not sure what program is causing the problem. How do I fix this?

You need to Reader-enable the form using Acrobat. Before Reader 11 was introduced, Reader was not able to save a fille-in form unless the document was enabled. Since the changes need to be saved in order to attach it to an email, this is necessary for previous versions. Do enable a form in Acrobat 11, select: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
