Security Warning when opening .pdx files I've compiled myself

[Stefan38115767bgmu]

I work with a large documentation set and have created multiple indexes to be able to quickly search content for keywords, etc. across this massive set of data.

Since some time, doubleclicking any of the numerous .pdx files (I've created myself with Adobe Catalog) I'm presented with a modal security warning dialog.

---------------------------
Security Warning
---------------------------
The operation you are trying to perform potentially requires read access to your drives. Do you want to allow this operation?
---------------------------
Allow Block

Can this warning be disabled (I'm the creator of those .pdx files) so that I get to the search with one step less (having to click on "Allow")?

In the preferences of Acrobat disable the protection mode.

Danke Bernd.

I'm new to this "Protection Mode" and have fiddled around some with it without success, e.g. I tried to insert the .pdx folder path as "trusted location" but it didn't work. Isn't there any finer granularity than bluntly calling for "firewall off"? Can't I disable the .pdx inspection only instead of tearing down everything?

[Bernd Alheit]

I don't know.

Hi Stefan38115767bgmu,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please let us know if you have started experiencing this behavior recently. Share the Acrobat and OS version.

Could you confirm if it happens with other files or a particular one?

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I can confirm clearing the "Enable Protected Mode at startup" in preferences help.

This problem strike indexes I created several years ago on one of my older and now retired corporate laptops (I occasionally rebuild the indexes as needed) as well as indexes I create as new today on a one month old corporate laptop running Windows 11 (23H2 OS build 22631.3593) where I just recently installed Adobe (24.002.20759)

This problem should easily be reproducible.

Are you going to follow up on this?
