Protected Mode Issues

I want to open a PDF but Protected Mode won't let me. Until tonight, I've had no problems. Why do I have one now?

We don't know. We also don't know your operating system.
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Hi,
The alternative way is....you can open the page using the compaitbility view..(You should be able to see the compatibility option in the address bar) This will prompt you to reload the page.

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.

Any known issues when programatically opening PDFs in Protected Mode on Windows 7?

Hi all,
We are a small development team that produces a Windows application that generates medical reports using a third party PDF library (PDF Creator Pilot) that are then automatically launched using the recommended Adobe Reader.
I've come across a seemingly random problem with opening PDFs when Protected Mode is enabled, and I'm finding it hard to reproduce this field complaint so am wondering if there was any known workaround or if anyone has had similar issues.
The problem occurs when we try to programatically open the PDF by a Win32 system call as follows, "ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "some_file.pdf", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);". In some cases we have complaints that nothing at all occurs when Adobe Reader should actually be launched, and sometimes the dialog as described in "http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/protected-mode-troubleshooting-reade r.html" appears. In all cases, if the users disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader the problem goes away. We've checked this troubleshooting guide and nothing in there seems to help our users so their problems persist.
It should be noted that this was observed in both Adobe Reader X and XI.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Chris.

Thanks Pat!
I've created the same question on the SDK forum so if anyone has any answers please reply there as it could also help other users.

Network Save Issue--Can't turn off Protected Mode

So my original problem is one that's been asked here a few times before: when I try to save a document in Acrobat, it makes me save a new version with a different name (so that I have to go back and delete the old version). If I try to just hit "Save," I get the error message: "This document cannot be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open." I am on a local area network with just one other computer (so I know the document isn't really open), running Windows 7 with Acrobat X. I should also mention that I've checked numerous files and none are read-only.
When this question is asked, it often gets the answer to turn off Adobe's Protected Mode by going to Edit-->Preferences-->General and unchecking Enable Protected Mode at Start-up.
Fair enough.
The problem is, I don't have that check box in my General Preferences menu. It's especially puzzling since I've seen these instructions given to other users with Acrobat X, who have said it worked. Am I missing something? Is there some other option I can chack or uncheck that is equivalent to this? Thanks for your help.

At times there also seem to be some issues with saving to a network link. When this happens, try saving locally and see if that does the job. Try working on the document locally and see if the issue goes away. If so, then you are dealing with a more complex issue involving networks. Unfortunately, I do not have a solution in that case, but it might be helpful to know if that is the issue.

How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

Starting with Flash Player 11.3, a protected mode was added as a new security enhancement for Firefox 4.0 and greater on Windows Vista and higher. This security enhancement is designed to limit the impact of attacks launched from malicious Flash content (SWF files). For additional details on this feature, please see Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
After reviewing this FAQ, we'd appreciate if you would take a minute to let us know if it helped. There is a link to a two question survey at the bottom of the page.
While we believe this feature is fully tested and reliable, if you encounter issues with Firefox we recommend the following troubleshooting steps.
Problem: Flash content does not appear, YouTube display errors such as "An error occurred. Please try again later.", or Flash video will not function properly.
Solution: If RealPlayer is installed on your system, please disable the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in.
Launch RealPlayer
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper left corner of the window and choose Preferences.
Choose Download & Recording from the left hand panel
Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browsers"
Click OK and close RealPlayer
Restart Firefox
If you are viewing this page in Firefox and Flash Player is not working, please click here for an HTML5 version of this video: YouTube HTML5 HD Link
Problem: RealPlayer is not installed, Flash Player crashes in Firefox
Solution:
Troubleshoot Extensions and Add-Ons by launching Firefox in Safe Mode
1. Exit Firefox
2. Click Start > Run
3. Type the following then press [Enter]:
firefox.exe -p
4. Click Continue in Safe Mode
5. Attempt to reproduce the problem
If the problem does not occur in safe mode, please try to isolate it down to an individual plug-in.
1. Exit Firefox
2. Re-launch Firefox
3. Click Firefox > Add-Ons > Extensions
4. Click Disable on all of your extensions
5. Attempt to reproduce the problem, while enabling each extension until you can reproduce the issue
If the issue persists in Safe-Mode, please continue with the steps below:
Some users have indicated that random crashing stops when clearing their Firefox profile. This step will allow you to temporarily test with a clean set of Firefox preferences, without losing your preferences.
Exit Firefox
Click Start > Run
Type the following then press [Enter]: firefox.exe -p
Click Create Profile
Click Next
In the Enter new profile name dialog, type "Test"
Click Finish
Select Test and click Start Firefox
Use Firefox as normal. If the problem goes away, clearing your Firefox preferences, or migrating the important settings (bookmarks, etc) to a clean Profile may be a good permanent solution.
If the problem persists, switch back to your old profile by doing the following:
Exit Firefox
Click Start > Run
Type the following then press [enter]:firefox.exe –p
Choose your old account (typically "default")
Click Start Firefox
Solution: Try a clean Windows profile (You must be an Administrator to complete this step. If your user account is not an admin type, skip to the next section for instructions on reporting a bug.) Creating a new Windows user will rule out any account-specific preferences that may be enabled on your system.
Create a user account in Vista
Create a user account in Windows 7
Use Flash Player normally. If the problem goes away, this indicates a compatibility problem, either with software you have installed or with preferences set on your account.
Reporting a bug:
Please file bugs at bugbase.adobe.com.
Choose "Adobe Flash Player" as the product
Choose "Browser Integration" as the product area
Please provide as much information as possible with what you were doing before the crash and an exact URL where the crash occurred.
If available, please attach your Firefox crash logs to the bug using the Attachments field.
Show hidden files and folders. For more details, see the instructions for the operating system that you use: Vista and Windows 7.
Crash logs are located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\
Logs will be located in either the pending or submitted folder, depending on whether or not you submitted the crash report to Mozilla.
Last resort
Finally, if these problems are blocking you from using Flash Player we recommend, as a last resort, you either revert back to Flash Player 11.2 or temporarily disable Protected Mode. We strongly recommend that Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved.
To revert to a previous version of Flash Player, please see this FAQ: How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?
To disable Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
ProtectedMode=0
If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one using any standard text editor (e.g.. notepad)
Depending on your operating system, you might need to first save the mms.cfg file to a writable location (such as your documents or desktop folder) and then copy the file into the destination folder using Windows Explorer.
To re-enable Protected Mode, simply remove the line from the mms.cfg file.
Hopefully this FAQ helped you. Please let us know by taking a minute to fill out this simple survey.
Did this FAQ help?

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

Every time I open Reader XI I get a box that pops up and says "Cannot open in protected mode due to

incompatible system configuration"

Hi sdc01522,
Please help me in understanding your problem better as on normal Win7 machines we don't get these issues.
Can you please let me know the following:
1) Exact operating system like Win7 or WinXP or Win8 (32bit or 64 bit) (Home, Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate) (Goto Computer , right click and you'll see the details in Windows Edition and system)
2) Any antivirus/ antimalware/ encryption software installed in your system? (It might be stopping Adobe Reader to open with protected mode enabled)
3) Are you login with any specific kind of user or normal administrator user ?
4) Is your system a part of any special file system?
5) Have you installed Adobe Reader at the default location (For 32-bit systems it is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0 and 64-bit it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0 ) or any other location?
Thanks,

Reader 10.1.1 Protected Mode

Hello
I am deploying Reader 10.1.1, but on some computers protected mode is blocking PDF files from being opened from a network drive. Is it possible to configure protected mode for a safe domain.
The solutions I have so far, disable protected mode, but this is refussed by my security manager, or copy the PDF files to a local drive from the network, but affected staff will not like this as a long term work around.
An guidance and info most welcome, the package has been created with Adobe customization wizard, and deployed with Microsoft Config manager.
Update 02/11/11 - I have been trawling the web about this problem, lots of people appear to have this issue, any idea if Adobe have a new release of Reader 10. to fix this issue.
Many thanks Jon
Very disappointed that no one from Adobe has responded to this post. I am now able to deploy Reader with no security, but miffed as this undermines all the work Adobe have put in to make this product more secure. Still it's only going to affect 1,900 computers.

Hi All,
We have had a few bug reports related to Adobe Reader X protected mode coming in from you in this forum. We have addressed a large number of them in our upcoming Reader update and we would like to hear your feedback.
To that extent, we would like to invite you to the Adobe Reader Prerelease program and try out the latest build. To participate, please fill in the form available at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=reader_prerelease_ interest and indicate Adobe Reader as the product of your interest.
We look forward to your active participation, feedback and help towards making Reader a better product.
Thanks and regards,

Opening a PDF file from a share that contains a reparse point in protected mode fails

With adobe reader 10 or above and with protected mode turned on, we are unable to read a PDF file from a shared location if it contains a reparse point. I understand that turning off protected mode will resolve the issue, but that does not help us.
Using filemon, we can see that adobe is opening the file and ignoring the reparse point, so we know that's why it's failing. Is there any way (aside from turning off protected mode) to get this to work?

Hi,
is the next part of the code correct.
What i mean is packing of the attachment, finding out the size of pdf file and doc type as PDF.
You can also try below link..

Query regarding upgrading protection mode in a data guard

I am using Oracle 10g in Linux platform
Consider that I have a logical standby and a physical standby and now I want to upgrade the protection mode of physical standby but want the logical standby to retain the protection mode .
According to the Oracle documentation they have specified that the following statement has to be issued from primary to upgrade protection mode of a standby
SQL > Alter database set standby database to maximum availability;So to which standby this statement will refer to, whether logical standby or physical standby?

Hi,
What you want to do is very possible. Please not however the protection mode DOES NOT apply to a standby when you say a database has a certain protection mode, it applies to the primary.
First to be in maximum availability you have to issue the command you state, and that applies to the primary, it is now in maximum availability but to get there it must have ONE standby that uses LGWR SYNC as the transport mechanism with AFFIRM.
You can also have other standby's running from this primary, that DO NOT have to use LGWR SYNC, but can use the other available tranport mechanisms.
This is explained here:

Acrobat Reader X Disable Protection mode

Hi All,
i need some help with this freaky Acrobat Reader X version.
We have currently ~1000 computers with different old versions of AR (form 6 to 9)
We need to upgrade to 10.0.1 version all PC's
Will use SCCM for distributing the package.
OK... everything here seems good but ... a lot of problems and erros appear.
First we've installed on test group of 10 pc's the AR 10.0.0
all users start complainig that they can't open the pdf's from our file servers.
Solution - bring the patch 10.0.1
After that all users start complaining that they can't print - Windows Error - Acrobat need to be closed !
Solution - Protection mode disabled.
My questions :
1. How can I distribute both the Package of Acrobat and the update together with SCCM
All my tries and reaings failed !!!
i've try different methods and no success
msiexec /i /q \\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" PATCH=\\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\adbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp
this do not work for me This is in SCCM program
2. How can i disable through Adobe Wizard the Protection Mode ?
I know how to do it manually but is not acceptable this way - i can't communicate with 1000 users to do this manually
I know how to disable it from registry with GPO , but i can't disable it before installation, also i can't disable it on all PC's after installation, because it will take several days to complete for all pc's and this "hole" of some days will stop the work of our end-users.
Any fresh ideia is wellcome. Also any help
Thanks

hey,
had similar issues with protection mode.
found we can do it 2 ways, 1. via registry entry, or 2. via an ADM.
sorry cannot remember the referenced posts for the fixes below...
we use the adm so that users cannot change it, and so that updates dont reset it.
note that the adm has only a few settings, and i dont know the code for any other settings.
1. - REG method:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
REM: Above line Disables Protected Mode on startup
2. - ADM Template method
please note, just copy and paste into a text file and rename as .adm.
remember that on the last section of the code below, change the "YOUR HEADER HERE" bit to what you want to use to find it in the GPO manager once you add the template.

Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to a problem with your system configuration.

From Adobe website: "Note that this list is not regularly maintained as Protected Mode now runs transparently in the background and it is unlikely that users will experience issues."
This explanation on the Adobe website does not explain what the problem is with the "system configuration". What is the system configuration problem?

Hi Steve,
As mentioned on the troubleshooting page as well normally application like antiviruses, encryption and system maintenance tools causes this kind of problem. These software software intercepts some system calls for the Reader sandbox. Could you please check if you have any of these kind of software installed? Could you please answer following question then I would be in better position to help you?
1. Version of Reader being used
2. OS
3. What happens if you choose launch unprotected? Do you see a failure or Reader launches?
Thanks

Protection Modes and Fast-Start Failover

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture allows you to set fast-start failover (FSF)to automatically failover to the standby in the event of losing the primary database.
One condition of FSF is that it will only initiate if there is a guarantee of no data loss. This is where i start getting confused. Maximum Availability mode allows for data loss as the primary will still process transactions if the connection to the standby is lost. This means then in the event of the standby being out of sync with the primary database (i.e. network glitches) and then losing the primary database to hardware issues for example. FSF will not be able to initiate as data will be lossed and a complete loss of service will happen!
Can FSF be used in Maximum Protection mode as this will always mean FSF will be able to occur? Also what is the overhead towards the databases with regards to running them in this mode?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
Can FSF be used in Maximum Protection mode as this will always mean FSF will be able to occur? Yes, Maximum Protection Mode can be used with Fast-Start Failover, please review the next link.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14230/cli.htm#BABEIIHD
Also what is the overhead towards the databases with regards to running them in this mode?
Yes, the overhead is on major scale that other modes.

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06 and IE10 enhanced protected mode. Downloaded PDF documents do not open

I have Reader XI 11.0.06 installed with IE10. If I enable Enhanced Protected Mode via group policy, the plugin loads documents inside the browser window. However, if the site forces the browser to download the document, EPM blocks the Reader plugin. The address bar in IE shows that it is trying to load the PDF from the IE cache.
Is there a fix for this issue?

Having done some more research on this, I just can't see that the advertised support for enhanced protected mode actually exists. Anyone got it working?
