Acrobat 9 Fails when using ADMit (Network) Mac Accounts
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

I am running 10.5.8, Intel, using instructions described link above, this is what I did:
- Log in as a Network User
- Go to /Users/Shared/
- Create a folder in /Users/Shared/ named 9.0_x86
- Go to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/ and trash the 9.0_x86 folder
- Go to Applications/Utilities/ and open Terminal
- Enter one of the following into the Terminal ln -s /Users/Shared/9.0_x86 ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat
- 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.
