Two bugs in Adobe Reader when adding hosts to trusted sites
I have tested this with 11.0.08 and 11.0.07 and the issue exists in both, I just wanted to note this so there wasn't an impression this was introduced with 11.0.08. Two bugs are below with details.
1. Adobe Reader does not seem to be recognizing trusted sites in Internet Explorer. Adobe Reader is still opening pdfs in the IE trusted sites in protected view. This is causing issues on websites that try to call pdf's to automatically print. I have ensured the "Automatically trust sites from my Win OS security zones" option is checked, however the trusted sites are never trusted. The only way I have been able to get protected view to be disabled on these sites is by manually adding them to the trusted hosts within Adobe which is not the behavior I would expect.
2. Adobe Reader will not let you add more than one trusted site if you delete the very first site from the trusted hosts before deleting the second one. Below are the steps to reproduce this.
- Add blah.com as a trusted host in the "Security (Enhanced)" settings. Click ok and close the program.
- Open Adobe Reader and add foo.com as a trusted host. Click ok and close the program.
- Open Adobe Reader, you should now see blah.com and foo.com as trusted hosts. Remove blah.com from trusted hosts. Click ok and close the program.
- Open Adobe Reader, add test.com to trusted hosts. Now you should see foo.com and test.com in the list. Click ok and close the program.
- Open Adobe Reader, navigate back to the "Security (Enhanced)" settings and you will see that for some reason foo.com was deleted and only test.com exists. Now if you add any more sites it will always only contain the last one you added.
