I have a 2012 server where non administrators receive an error "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded" wen opening a pdf. I hit this on another server and he culprit was acrobat dc trying to download an update. I fixed it on the other server by adding

key bProtectedMode to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown. That isn't solving the issue on my new server.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Are you trying to download the file using IE? On another machine do you have Acrobat also installed? 

Have you tried such suggestions mentioned this document: Error- your current security settings do not allow this file to be - Microsoft Community
