Adobe X Protected Mode

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

Now that Adobe Reader X is available, is there a way to turn off the “Protected Mode” after the software is successfully installed?

I understand this was a new security feature that was bundled into this latest version.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

You can disable this through the registry via HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10\Priviledged\ by setting bProtectedMode to decimal 0.

Some of the issues in 10.0 are fixed in 10.0.1. See http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-03.html
