[UniMacTech] Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 and Premiere 4

[Ioana Nicolau]

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if anyone managed to get Acrobat to work in a networked  
home directory environment? I'm testing on Mac OS 10.5.5 with smb home  
directories. Acrobat Pro 9.0 runs fine for local users, but for  
network users first it crashes, then subsequently hangs indefinitely  
and has to be killed.

I tried, to no avail, various suggestions I came across, such as:
- Repair permissions as admin and root
- Stop self healing:
    Make sure NoSelfHealNeeded is YES in  ~/Library/Preferences/ 
com.adobe.acrobat.90.sh.plist
   Replaced all instances of required “YES” with “NO” in /Library/ 
Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/AcroEFGPro90SelfHeal.xml, then in  
the Acrobat Pro bundle.

I also logged a bug with Adobe and opened a case two weeks ago, but I  
had no reply.

Premiere 4.0.1 is another one that does not behave properly for  
network accounts. It takes 12 minutes to open. Tried to redirect the  
Adobe Application Support, Preferences and user data to the local  
drive, but no luck with that either :-(

Any help would be much appreciated,
