As my title described, I installed ReaderX successfully, can open local pdf files on my computer ,but when I access files on share server, a popup message shows "There was error opening this files. Access dnied." Surely I have rights accessing those files.
Anybody can help me? Thanks .
I have the same problem. It's apparently a result of the new Protected Mode. Disabling it via Edit--> Preferences-->
"Enable Protected Mode at startup" is a workaround and will allow PDFs to be opened from network shares. Of course that defeats the entire purpose of Adobe's sandbox architecture in X. For now though I don't see an option.
You can disable this through the registry via HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10\Priviledged\ by setting bProtectedMode to decimal 0. This can be done through

We are experiencing this issue with Acrobat reader 10.1.0
We had this issue and disabled Protected mode as mentioned before. This fixed the problems we had opening PDF's from Mapped NFS share, however there are some PDF's that will not open now from UNC shares. We get a message about not having accepted the EULA instead of access denied.
In our current configuration we had to re-enable the Protected Mode for our users and have them copying files back and forth from mapped drives. This isn't really a solution to this issue... is Adobe doing anything on their end to fix this?

I have been running Windows 7 64 SP1 on my desktop and Windows XP SP3 on my laptop in a home network for over a year. I use a workgroup, and the same username/password combo on both systems with administrator privileges. Network shares under Win7 are mapped on Win XP; some folders are set up for offline use. Since upgrading to Reader X have been getting intermittant "access denied" messages when opening PDF files when the laptop is disconnected from the network (accessing offline files). Based in information in this, and other forums, I disabled protected mode on the laptop, without success. The files are accessible if I remove network drive mapping, but removing the mapping introduces problems for other applications. I have also noted that if I copy the offline file to a different location, ReaderX has no problem with it. Since upgrading to ReaderX, I have made extensive use of the highlighter and sticky notes, and the marked up files seem to be the ones that fail most often (not verified). I have not seen any associated error/warning messages from the operating system or virus protection I use a variety of other applications with the offline files (e.g. MS Office, Quicken).

I believe either Windows 10 or a very recent update auto checked the "Enable Protected Mode at startup" box under Security Preferences, as I just started experiencing this problem. Unchecking the box fixed me right up.

I rolled back to Windows 8.1 Pro and was using this OS when I discovered the issue.
