Hey all!
Now that I've finished tearing my hair out for the past four hours (I
can't believe it took me this long to figure it out), I've found an
interesting quirk with Adobe Professional 6.0. My environment is Win2k
SP4 with MFXP 1.0 FR3/SP3.
We have a folder redirection policy for one of our ASP clients to store
"My Documents" on a server centrally (\\server\profile\%username%\My
Documents), since they have multiple servers in the farm. I noticed that
when opening Excel and printing to .pdf, I could print just fine. Out of
MAS 200, I could not print a .pdf. Weird. I was getting the error
Johnathan Kadoo mentioned awhile back about cannot print to My
Documents\*.pdf. This is the same error you get when not logged onto the
console. In my case, Administrator, of course, is logged in.
So, I take a look at the folder security, and since this is a folder
redirection policy, the permissions were set for the user specifically,
and not the Administrative groups. Noting that, the Distiller (PDF
Printer) is running under the Administrator account. So I give domain
admin full control to the folder, and now... I'm golden. Apparently, on
a folder redirection policy or in an automatically generated profile
folder, you need to give permissions to the user that is logged in on
the Terminal Server console. Which makes sense, because it runs through
the file creation process on the console and all files are generated as
that user. Very easy to overlook - at least on my part!
Something I figured I would share, since I know a lot of folks are
having pains with Adobe.
Hope that helps someone out there. ;-)
