I work in a computer lab situation. We have G4 Quicksilvers, G5s and MacPros. The assortment is running a site-licensed Adobe Creative Suite Professional, which installs Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Acrobat and Flash.
Fall installation went fine. Instructors subsequently requested that we install Imageready (from Creative Suite 2), and at this point, we noticed that Acrobat 8 Professional in the Student User (standard account), now requested Administrator passwords before it would launch. This would occur repeatedly.
Subsequent to the most recent Acrobat 8 Professional update, other systems also started requesting administrator passwords.
We are now in the process of uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat 8.
We have rebuilt permissions - both via OS X tools and via a third-party application called Onyx.
Has anyone else had these issues and does anyone have other suggestions for avoiding this problem.
Thank you.
