Thanks for this. Acrobat 9.5 was crashing on a document compare. The compare would start and halfway through it would freeze up trying to do “content preparation” on one or the other of the files. A watchdog timer would go off and the application would be declared crashed. Making this change and acknowledging the lack of a screen reader on the next start made it all work. I mean, I just move my lips when I read, I don’t require content preparation.

Thanks for the direction. Was really starting to piss me off.

Changed the security settings on the files to “DENY” for all listed users.
System
Administrators
User.

Hopefully this will prevent updats from deleting and updating or overwriting the files.

This does stop acrobat from processing the files.
Works even though I have domain adminstrator andlocal adminstrator rights to my workstation.
