Whitelisting Adobe Acrobat and Plug-ins: A Step-by-Step Guide

When it comes to installing and running Adobe Acrobat and its plug-ins, there are several steps you can take to ensure a smooth experience. One of these crucial steps is whitelisting Adobe Acrobat and all installed plug-ins. In this article, we will explore how to do just that.

Why Whitelist Adobe Acrobat and Plug-ins?

Sometimes, Norton Anti-Virus may block a plug-in from execution, which can hinder the functionality of your software. By whitelisting Adobe Acrobat and its plug-ins, you can ensure that these programs are recognized as safe by your anti-virus software, allowing them to run without any issues.

Silent Installation

If you're looking to deploy software for a large number of users, silent installation is a great option. This mode allows you to install the software without displaying any dialogs or user interaction. To enable silent installation, simply add the necessary command-line parameters during the setup process.

Turning Off Protected Mode

To ensure that Adobe Acrobat functions correctly, it's essential to turn off Protected Mode. This can be done by saving your settings and restarting the application. You can access these settings by going to 'Edit > Preferences' in the main application menu.

Using Certified Plug-ins

When using certified plug-ins with Adobe Acrobat, make sure that the 'Use only certified plug-ins' option is turned off. This will allow you to use other types of plug-ins as well.

Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble finding a plug-in in the 'Plug-ins' menu, try restarting your computer or forcing Adobe Acrobat to update its menu. Additionally, ensure that Adobe Acrobat is not running during the installation process.

All Acrobat plug-ins add their functionality under the 'Plug-ins' menu in Adobe Acrobat. To access these plug-ins, simply go to the 'Tools' panel and look for the 'Plug-ins' option.

Trial Version Limitations

When using a trial version of Adobe Acrobat, there may be certain limitations that apply. For example, some software may add watermarks or have a 30-day evaluation period.

Whitelisting Adobe Acrobat and its plug-ins is an essential step in ensuring the smooth operation of your software. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that your software is recognized as safe by your anti-virus software and that it functions correctly.
