Acrobat Pro 6 updater...

Rich,

Do you have a Shared folder in the Users folder with a Acrobat 6.0
folder in it?

Hi Mike,

Yep I have a Shared Folder with Acrobat 6 in it so what is that doing in there!?

In answer to your previous question, yes I can see PDFs in Preview. Incidentally I'm back to running Acrobat 6 with no update. Still have the same problems though...

Thanks for your help on this Mike, I appreciate it. Desperate to get this resolved as I'm the type of guy who likes things to run properly and smoothly!

Cheers

Rich

Rich,

The folder in the shared library is essential. I guess this is one way
to have Acrobat share resources without cluttering up the main library
folder more than necessary.

Obviously, you have a non-trivial problem. That is being difficult to
fix. There are still two options available to try. Archive and install
and a clean install of the OS. Both options are painful.

I long for the days, I could drag a clean copy of my system folder onto
the hard drive (or floppy disk) and be up and running. OS 3.2, 4 or
5---the good old days.

Hi Mike,

Well I doubt I'll do the OS reinstall! Acrobat works okay as long as I fire up the program before attempting to open a PDF document. I reckon I'll just add it to my start up items for now!

Thanks again,

Rich

PS Where are you? Do you have broadband and an iSight?

Rich,

Broadband sometimes and iSight no. If it all works ok if Acrobat is
loaded first I wonder if it has to do with Apple's security update that
requires approval the first time a certain file type is opened. Perhaps
something is interfering with it. Do you have Norton Antivirus or
Security Suite installed?
