AIR, Acrobat/Reader XI 11.0.06 - There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found

Hi,

After Adobe Reader and Acrobat updated to v11.0.06 I've started getting the following error message when I try to load PDF file into my AIR application on Windows (Vista and 7) machines: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found."

I'm loading PDF just like it's been described in Flex/AIR documentation. HTMLLoader loads html that looks like: <html><body><object id="PDFObj" data="app:/pdfs/test.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%"></object></body></html>

The file is in place and I've tried opening it from the Reader itself without any errors. When I uninstall Reader XI and install Reader X instead everything comes back to normal and the file is opened without an error.

What was changed in the Acrobat/Reader 11.0.06 that it prevents PDFs from being opened from AIR application? Or was it changed even before 11.0.06?

Kind regards,

Roman
