Mandatory profiles does not support user certificate.... You'll have to use the 
tool from Jeroen....

Profiles

 

Hello there,

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

The issue happens on workstations and terminal servers/Citrix servers. Simply 
renaming an existing profile on any workstation/server from ntuser.dat to 
ntuser.man causes the issue.

 

Example: 

Im a Domain admin with a local profile and i can edit the pdf files. I log out 
and log in with another account to rename my profile to ntuser.man.I log back 
in and i am unable to edit the pdf files. 

 

I have also loaded the Adobe cert via AD GPO but still doesnt work.

After much testing it appears that adobe reader doesnt like mandatory profiles. 
It treats anyone with a mandatory profile as a guest/temporary user.

 

 

Regards

        DO you use the flex profile from loginconsultant?

         

        If so, maybe your issue is related to the certificate not being saved 
in a mandatory profile... use the FlexFramework to enable the certificate!

        Objet : [THIN] Adobe 7.x Reader Editing PDf files and Mandatory/ Hybrid 
Profiles

         

        I have found a bug in Adobe 7.x and was wondering whether anyone else 
had come across the issue.

         

        Since Adobe 7.0 it is possible able to modify certain pdf files 
depending on how they were generated. The PDF files also have an emdedded Adobe 
Trusted root certificate. 7.x.

         

        We have use Hybrid profiles and have now found that Adobe 7 does not 
actually work with PDf files that can be edited.

        This can be for any user including local admins and domain admins.

         

        This also is the case if a local profile is simply renamed to 
ntuser.man.

         

        Anyone seen this ?
