Snagged from http://groups.google.com/group/adobe.acrobat.macintosh/browse_thread/thread/c425e6404785220f/aafd5ccfb85618fa?lnk=raot

Accrobat 9 would crash on start up with the following messages in console:

[0x0-0x483483].com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro[9638]    terminate called after\
     throwing an instance of 'SQLiteUtils::SQLiteException'
[0x0-0x483483].com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro[9638]    terminate called after\
     throwing an instance of 'SQLiteUtils::SQLiteException'
com.apple.launchd[133]    ([0x0-0x483483].com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro[9638])\
     Exited abnormally: Abort trap
[0x0-0x487487].com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro[9655]    terminate called after\
     throwing an instance of 'SQLiteUtils::SQLiteException'

I am running 10.5.8, Intel, using instructions described link above, this is what I did:

  1. Log in as a Network User
  2. Go to /Users/Shared/
  3. Create a folder in /Users/Shared/ named 9.0_x86
  4. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/ and trash the 9.0_x86 folder
  5. Go to Applications/Utilities/ and open Terminal
  6. Enter one of the following into the Terminal ln -s /Users/Shared/9.0_x86 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Acrobat
  7. Open up Acrobat 9 and it should work!

Tada – that was it!

    Has anyone done this with a script?

      I didn’t bother with a script as I had one Mac to fix. If I had had more than one I would have certainly scripted it.

    Amazing – thanks for forwarding on the info this has been driving me nuts for awhile now. I finally got the error message described above and a quick search let me here and viola adobe now works again. IIRC this was the same bug the plagued FireFox 3 when it first came out and prevented from opening for users who had their homes on AFP shares.
