Question

Acrobat Pro 9 crashes when opened on network accounts

We use network logins via Open Directory on our network. For users with either 10.5.4 or 10.4.11, whenever they try to open Acrobat on their network accounts, it hangs and eventually crashes. It will open fine on local machine accounts. This has been seen on all machines, be their Intel or G5. Here is the crash log via console. Any ideas?

    To all concerned: This is a known issue with people using folder redirection software. To my knowledge Adobe is working on an update that will address this issue; however there is no release date as far as I have seen on the Internet. Acrobat 8 will not cause this issue.

    So, what has changed? If you are using Acrobat 9.0 and not version 8.0 then obviously the version of Acrobat, but has anything else changed? Server version? Did you previously use Tiger Server and move to Leopard server?

    It has been working fine with Acrobat 8 and Domain accounts for a long time now.

    Since so many of you seem to be having this particular issue with remote user directories then this scenario was likely not tested by Adobe. The question to ask yourselves is "Did this ever work?" If it did, then what has changed? If not, then it may not be possible to get it to work at this time.

    No Fix yet....
    Adobe Still refuses to help over the phone,
    or even send word to programmers.
    They even were brazen enough to blamed it on the network,
    which works for every other application I've installed. Curious.

    Late October and the problem still exists (at least for me) Anyone found a fix?
    thanks

    I am having this problem with the plugin and the Acrobat application. The programs are local and the accounts and homes are on the network. I removed the Adobe pdf plugin and now Safari doesn't crash 10 seconds after opening a pdf. Acrobat Pro 9 does the same thing. So we are using Preview.

    Has anyone tested this issue using a "Mobile" user account? All of the systems we set up are either AD or OD accounts but are always set up as a mobile user.

    I will try to test this in one of our environments as soon as we get a copy of 9 installed.

    We are having a similar problem.
    I have tried various preferences/permissions/etc. with no luck.

    It has also been documented/discussed on the Macintosh Management
    list on Apple.

    The only "solution" so far has been the suggestion to remove Acrobat Reader.

    the application is locally installed. The user's home directory is on the server.
