Not able to open PDF Reports directly from CabMaster

Not able to open PDF Reports directly from CabMaster

Introduction

Adobe has an Enhanced Security feature that will block PDF documents from launching if launched from a program running as Administrator (i.e.: CabMaster). To fix it, follow the steps below.
NOTE: If you have attempted to run Adobe already in Task Manager, Windows might still have the program running in a restricted state, which means you will need to 'End Task' on that process before you can get CabMaster to create a PDF document again after changing these settings.

Instructions


1. You will need to open Adobe manually and go to the Edit Menu and select the Preferences.



2. From there you will need to go to the Security (Enhanced) settings and Disable the “Enable Protected Mode at Startup”.



3. Now if you re-run CabMaster and run a report again, it should Automatically launch directly to Adobe PDF.
