Acrobat 7 Pro (CS2) problem

Hello,

All of our Mac G5 (OS 10.3.9) computers have CS 2 Premium. We install it with the default options, and do not customize any permission. We have done the exact same updates on every computer, and only one is having a problem.

After we have updated Acrobat on all computers to version 7.0.7, we have properly initialized the application, and provided the Administrator's password (as a routine for Mac Acrobat) during the initialization process. However, on ONE (1) and only one of these computers, every time the user logs onto the computer and opens Acrobat, it prompts for the Administrator's password like it has never been initialized. We have tested with different user accounts, and only the Administrator account logon does not get the prompt. Even if we make an account an Admin, it still prompts once, and of course, the problem re-occurs when the account is set back to standard.

We decided to uninstall the entire CS, delete all of the preferences that we could possibly think of, and re-install it but all that did not fix anything. Temporarily, we have installed Adobe Reader 7.0.7 on this computer to give the user at least the capability of opening PDF files. Then, we have found another "weird but good" thing is that if the user opens the Adobe Reader first and keeps it running, she can open up Acrobat Pro with no problem.

Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated!

sounds like a keycahin issue
go to user/libery/keychain and pull the login.keychain file and trash it and reboot. now after u do this key chain will ask for your password for like a week, but then it will remeber it
let me know if this helps

This happened to me to many users, so I just changed the
internal parts of Acrobat to read/write for everyone (I
know, an end user can trash stuff after showing package
contents).

I used this:

This problem started showing up with the 7.0.7 upgrade
on some computers.
It appears it is a permission issue bug that can be
resolved as follows, by sending this Unix command from
Apple Remote Desktop as root user:

chown -R macadmin "/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0
Professional/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional.app/
Contents"
chgrp -R admin "/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0
Professional/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional.app/
Contents"
chmod -R u+r+w+x,g+r+w+x,o+r+w+x "/Applications/
Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional/Adobe Acrobat 7.0
Professional.app/Contents"
