That said you can pre-empt user certs with mandatory profiles, I've been doing 
that for years for mandatory profile users, that use(d) a web based, and 
ActiveX enabled, and user-signed app.

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

        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!

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 ?
