McAfee FRP encrypted not opening due to adobe reader protection mode.

[vikasplohiya]

Hi Team,

FRP v 5.0.2.167
Adobe Reader v 11.0.19

I have McAfee FRP ( Files and Removable media protection - 5.0.2.167 installed on my machine. I have encrypted some PDF files with it and when I tried to open the files I used to get following error
" There was an error opening this document. Access Denied."  Then I got to know the workaround on it as below.
Disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader 10:
Click Edit, Preferences, General.
In the left pane, deselect Enable Protected Mode At Startup.
Close and re-open Adobe Reader.

Disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader 11:
Click Edit, Preferences, Security (Enhanced).
In the right pane, deselect Enable Protected Mode At startup.
Close and re-open Adobe Reader.

Although there is a workaround, I don't feel comfortable leaving it disabled. I would like a response from the team, if any patch available for it so that I can run both application simultaneously without any issue.  Please note this is only happening with PDF files and not with any word , excel, ppt files.
