Question

Adobe Distiller - error 5 access denied

Our users on RDS are getting this error randomly throughout the day. The suggested fixes to ensure access to the %temp% dir have been tried, but Distiller should already have access to that location. We have upgraded Acrobat to the latest version and uninstalled Adobe Reader. The issue persists, and the error just randomly appears throughout the day for all users, whether doing something Adobe related or not. Curiously, it does not appear to be affecting the functionality of Acrobat or printing.

Does anyone have any ideas on where to look next?

Guess what?  WE have the same problem!!  Can you Email me the solution as well?  Is there a reason it is such a secret and you can't just share it here on the board everyone is coming to looking for the solution?

Thanks!

I've been having the same issue for several days. Is it 11 days since it was first reported and there is still no solution?

Hello @AnandSri, thank you for your efforts.

I also have the same problem with my users.
They have the pop-up Unable to create the temporary folder. Error:5 - acces is denied.

Even when they are given full admin access to the workstation, the error message still appears.

Could you please share the solution with me also.

Thank you
