If the "signotec Document Transfer" plug-in does not work, this is probably due to the "Protect Mode" which is activated by default on most Adobe products.
- Option 1: Disable Protected Mode
If possible, deactivate the protected mode. You can find this under:
AcrobatReader X:
--> Edit --> Preferences --> Category: General --> Activate protected mode at startup
AcrobatReader XI / DC:
--> Edit --> Preferences --> Category: Security (Enhanced) --> Activate Protected Mode at Startup - Option 2: Activate Whiteliste
If this is not desired for other reasons, it is also possible to maintain a whitelist to allow certain applications despite the protected mode. To do this, please perform the following configuration steps:
1. Activate the use of the whitelist in the registry
- Open the registry
- Go to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown]
- Create a new REG-DWORD value with the name "bUseWhitelistConfigFile" and set the value to "1".
2. Create whitelist file
- create a file "ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt" in the installation directory of the Acrobat Reader, e.g. "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\".
- Edit the created text file
