Whitelist in Reader X doesn't work

Hello everyone,
Anybody can help me figure out this?
I have a plug-in which will call functions in a DLL to invoke 3rd-party application's UI. It works in Reader 9.0, none-protect mode in Reader X. But it doesn't work in protect mode in Reader X.
(Here, it used COM to make the communication. )
To make this plug-in be trusted. I followed the document to make whitelist:
1. Set registry to enable the configurable file of white-list.
Create a key-value named bUseWhitelistConfigFile with value 1, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown.
2. Create the configure file named ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt under Reader X’s installation folder.
3. Write configure file in #2 with following content to allow it access to Tamale Software
; Files Section
FILES_ALLOW_ANY = *
; Processes
PROCESS_ALL_EXEC = *
; Registry
REG_ALLOW_ANY = *
; Mutants
MUTANT_ALLOW_ANY = *
; Sections
SECTION_ALLOW_ANY = *
I think my configure will allow all access to local. Same as disable the protect mode. Right?
Why my plug-in can work when protect mode is disabled but cannot work in my setting of whitelist?
Thanks a lot~ ^_^

All status are Denied. Why? I feel confused about this.
=================
I updated my policy rules. Now, I will not get STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED in the log anymore.
But still, my plug-in does not work.
The latest log is:

To update my current status of this issue again.
Now, I can catch the error when I try to create the instance of COM object. It will throw an error said: Class not registered.
I still feel confused about this.

The response above is only a speculative answer to the original question. DSI-Hal, did you try to flatten the text in Bluebeam Revu prior to opening it in Adobe. This has worked for me on several different documents but not sure if we are using the same version of Adobe Reader.
Give it a shot. Good luck.

IOS 5 Safari Reader mode doesn't work on an iPad 1º generation

iOS 5 Safari Reader mode doesn't work on an iPad 1º generation. How can I fix that?

Hi. I am having the same problem on an original iPad. The tabbed browsing works fine, but no "reader" button is showing up in the URL window at the top...
Anyone else seeing this and is a reinstall of ios5 really needed?
Thanks

IPad 4 with iOS 8 "read list" doesn't work

After updating to iOS 8, read list feature in Safari doesn't work animore!!!((( I can not read articles without the intertnet!
And also, Apple, come on, make iWork for free for rest of you costomers! It's ridicules to pay 30$ just only because that I bought the iPhone 4 and iPad 4 erlier...and even by highest price!

Hi
Sorry for being too nitpicky - BUT
You indicate iOS 8.1.2 on iPhone 4
Either you have a 4S or you have iOS 7.x
But with that said
Can you please check Settings -- General -- Accessibility - scroll down to Interaction -- Call Audio Routing and see if Automatic is checked?
Thanks

Adobe Reader updater doesn't work properly in Windows 7

For the longest time, I've been receiving update notifications from Adobe Reader, prompting me to upgrade. I always say ok, download the update. Then it always takes like 1 second to download (hard to believe it's that fast), then I get the install window. I press the "Install" button and the window disappears and I don't receive any additional messages... Until I reboot my computer and I get again the same update download prompt window.
So it seems the update doesn't work and that's why I get that message EVERYTIME I reboot the PC. Not matter if I reboot every 5 minutes, I always get that message.
Please, fix your updater so it doesn't annoy the user like this with non working updates!
Since the updater doesn't work, is there a way to disable it? Thank you!

Ok, I've added the registry setting you mentioned, then I've started "AdobeARMHelper.exe" again to get the tray notification about the available update. Then I've clicked it, I got the download window, I clicked "Download", then 1 second later I got another tray notification about the update being ready to install (maybe it takes so little time because the update is already in my computer and so it doesn't download anything). Then I clicked the tray notification and got the install window. I clicked Install, and nothing else happened, as always.
Then, I've checked the "AdobeARM.log" file, and now it shows the following:

It seems there are some errors in Spanish, probably because they come from Windows, which is configured in Spanish in my PC. "El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado" means "The system cannot find the file specified".
I hope you can find the problem with that information.

I need help, i need my pdf reader works well

http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/
"...the installer had a mistake which meant the preview handler did not work on 64-bit systems.
It turned out the problem could be fixed via a simple registry change. The change is described below and a small program which performs the fix is also provided for your convenience.
Unlike the thumbnail fix, described below, the preview handler fix should no longer be needed by most people, since Adobe have finally fixed their installer, but it's still provided in case it helps repair things. If you had Adobe Reader installed under Vista and later upgraded to Windows 7 then you will probably still need to run the preview handler fix once to clean up a registry value which Adobe set inconsistently between the two OS versions. If in doubt, run the fix and it will tell you if anything needs to be done. If everything is good already then the preview handler fix won't change anything."

Adobe Reader XI won't validate, so it won't work. It won't update. It won't uninstall. I am stuck with a program that won't work and I can't download it again, as it says, it's already there. UGH! Help! (And I am not super computer literate, so if you have suggestions, please make them for a toddler to understand!) Thanks!!!

Hi Pat,
When the Adobe reader opens a PDF document, it will show the first page, then a text box will pop-up that says it cannot "validate" and then it says the program needs to close, and closes. When I tried repeatedly to remove the program, it would say it wanted to update. If I said no, don't update, it stopped working and did nothing. If I said Yes, update, it said the program was in use (trying to remove) and to close the program first. I did keep going around and around with it last night, and, hallelujah, it uninstalled. I haven't redownloaded the program, because I think this version of Adobe doesn't like Norton Antivirus (I didn't click yes to macafee, because I don't want it). So, currently I don't have any PDF reader. But, it is no longer making me crazy, because it isn't there. You're the best for your sane reply to a crazy woman stuck in an Adobe loop. Much appreciated!

"Everyone - Read Only" doesn't work

I often drag-and-drop, or directly save, PDFs to my Admin user's Drop Box from my Standard User account. As expected, I'm often unable to open these from the Admin account without first modifying permissions.
However, what now takes the biscuit is that even changing permissions often no longer allows me to open the files in the Admin account. Right now, I have two files with two Names in their Permissions list: Standard User and "everyone". Standard is set to Read And Write; Everyone is set to Read Only. However, on double-clicking the file in question I get that infuriating message: "You do not have permission to open the document foo.pdf." Oddly, even setting "everyone" to Read And Write doesn't fix this.
Snow Leopard was a clean install.
Is this just something to endure until Apple gets its thumb out?

that's not "as expected". you should have full read+write privileges for anything dropped into your drop box. something is wrong with permissions on the drop box of your admin account.
log into the admin account and run the following terminal commands to set permissions on the drop box.
chmod -RN ~/Public/Drop Box
chmod 733 ~/Public/Drop Box
chmod +a "`id -un` allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,chown,file_inherit,directoryinherit" ~/Public/Drop Box
from now on you should have read+write right to any future files dropped into your drop box. but *do not* save files there directly. that will not work properly. drag and drop only.

Offline reading list doesn't work - Ipad 3/Iphone 4s

I have an iPad 3, iPhone 4s, and an iMac. Offline reading works on the Imac, but not the others. I just tried restoring the Ipad 3, without loading any other data, and using the offline reading feature. It claims to be downloading for offfline reading, but then won't load in airplane mode. Here is the error message;
"Safari cannot open the page. The error was: "The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted".
All settings are default. iCloud has not been set up. I am currently using iOS 8 on both the iPad and iPhone, but the feature didn't work on iOS 7 either. It worked for a while, then quit.

I have iPhone 4s and also have the same problem. Had a nightmare of a time with support on the phone, where I waited to be put through to a senior tech person but they just hang up while I was in the queue, made worse with the fake apologies from the first line people. For what it's worth I left a bug report feedback describing the problem. it's a bug that Apple will just need to fix with an update. ps I factory restored my phone as well and still the same problem. Same problem on my other iPhone 5s also after a factory restore. No problem on a friends 4s which is still on ios7.

Adobe Reader X doesn't work.

I've downloaded Adobe Reader X based on the installation advice of Adobe.
The reader does not function at all, I cannot open any pdf file or open the program itself.
I have uninstalled and re-installed the program several times.
Although I only need the Reader, I note that Adobe AIR is being installed too.
I'm running XP Professional; I'm not computer literate enough to know how to solve this issue.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

"...the installer had a mistake which meant the preview handler did not work on 64-bit systems.
It turned out the problem could be fixed via a simple registry change. The change is described below and a small program which performs the fix is also provided for your convenience.
Unlike the thumbnail fix, described below, the preview handler fix should no longer be needed by most people, since Adobe have finally fixed their installer, but it's still provided in case it helps repair things. If you had Adobe Reader installed under Vista and later upgraded to Windows 7 then you will probably still need to run the preview handler fix once to clean up a registry value which Adobe set inconsistently between the two OS versions. If in doubt, run the fix and it will tell you if anything needs to be done. If everything is good already then the preview handler fix won't change anything."
Hope that helps. I have the same problem.

My disc reader/burner doesn't work, the disc gets ejected

Hello, I am trying to burn a movie created in imovie and exported to iDVD burned onto a DVD, but I just realized the burner is not working. It makes some reading noises and it ejects the discs. I have rebooted the computer, tried different discs, tried to put music disc and nothig. I am not sure if it is a problem with my machine and if I should take it to apple. At the same time, I really need this project burned so I put the iDVD project into my portable drive and inserted into a mac book to see if I could burn it there, but it says that the file is incomplete... Now I will try to create a disc image and see if the would work transfering it into a portable device and into another computer..
I would appreciate so much your guidance I am lost! Thank you

Hi, the DMG is a great idea to try.
On the iMac, you might try one of those head cleaning Discs, or...
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

Applescript: read plist doesn't work

Hello,
In every application, there is a info.plist (in contents).
I want to read, from that plist, the value of the item "Icon File" (it's a string).
I tried this:
--selecting app
repeat
    set appfile1 to (choose file with prompt "Choose an app to download the icon:")
    set extention to get file type of (info for (appfile1))
    if extention is "APPL" then
        exit repeat
    else
        display dialog "Please select an app, not another file" with title "Error" buttons {"Ok"} default button "Ok"
    end if
end repeat
--select plist
set appfile11 to do shell script "echo " & appfile1 & "Contents:info.plist"
--tell system events
tell application "System Events"
    set p_list to property list file (appfile11)
    value of property list item "Icon File" of p_list
end tell
(I tried with "of property list item "Information Property List"" and without it, because that item doesn't show up if I read the plist in 'Xcode', but it does in 'Plist Edit Pro')
Error:
error "System Events kreeg een fout: property list item \"Icon File\" of property list file \"Macintosh HD:Users:Isaiah:Downloads:UnRarX.app:Contents:Info.plist\" kan niet worden opgevraagd. " number -1728 from property list item "Icon File" of property list file "Macintosh HD:Users:Isaiah:Downloads:UnRarX.app:Contents:Info.plist"
Please help me,
Isaiah v. Hunen

Hi,
The error is that the name of the property list item is not good.
To get the real name in "Property List Editor" : menu "View" --> "Show Raw key/value"
set appfile11 to ((appfile1 as string) & "Contents:Info.plist")
tell application "System Events"
      value of property list item "CFBundleIconFile" of contents of property list file appfile11
end tell

Insert PDFs into Power Point with Adobe Reader 10 doesn't work

Hello,
When I try to insert a PDF Document into a Power Point Sheet (Microsoft Office 2003) the following an error occurred: "Die Serveranwendung , die Quelldatei oder das Element konnte nicht gefunden werden oder ein unbekannter Fehler wurde zurückgemeldet. Installieren Sie die Serveranwendung unter Umständen erneut." In English it would be somethink like: "Die Serverapplikation, the sourcefile or the element could not be found or an unknown error get recalled. According to the circumstances install the serverapplication again."
The error appears when I click in Power Point on "Insert" then on "Object" and then on "OK" if the Adobe Acrobat Document is selected. The error occurred since I use Adobe Reader X on Windows XP and on Windows 7.
Have anyone any idea, or know a solution?
Greetings from Cologne

Hallo Andreas,
hier wie versprochen die Keys um den Geschützen Modus per Gruppenrichtlinie zu de/aktiveren.
Der Key für Geschützer Modus wenn er aktiviert ist lautet:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000001
Und demensprechend lautet der Key für den deaktiverten "Protected Mode":
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
Hallo Werner,
wir benutzen hier Windows 7 x64, sowie Windows XP x86. Allerdings haben wir bei beiden Systemen keine Probleme wenn wir den Geschützen Modus deaktiveren.
Kannst du mir vielleicht noch die nachfolgenden 3 Fragen beantworten, damit ich ein bessere Vorstellung vom Problem habe?
Welches MS Office (bzw. PP) nutzt ihr?
Über welchen Weg bzw. über welche Funktion wollt ihr das PDF in PP implmentieren/einbetten?
Wie genau lautet der Text der Fehlermeldung?
Grüße aus dem verregneten Köln

Reading list doesn't work

I add some articles on my mac to the reading list, then I try to access them offline (they appear in safari) from my iPhone, but they are available only when online.
