Next, I checked out the promising-sounding Trust Manager. I checked the “Security” and “Security (Enhanced)” settings.
My first stop was the Preferences settings in the Adobe Reader application. After clicking the arrow button, you next have to click Trust in the dialog box that drops down. When you attempt to open a PDF in Safari with Adobe Reader security enabled, the “blocked” message appears. Figuring out how to do so turned out to be more work than I had anticipated. I would much rather avoid the hassle of having to deal with the warnings each and every time I attempt to load a PDF. In order to get the PDF to open, you have to negotiate two warning messages.Ĭall me reckless, but I am not especially concerned about the security risk here. When in place, any attempt to open a PDF file within Safari is initially blocked. The most recent versions of Adobe Reader install a new security feature.
