I think that your problem is that you have Protected Mode enabled. If you do, you either have to disable that, or write a policy config file.
https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AppSec/protectedmode.html says. From: Policy configuration Protected mode prevents a number of actions which IT can bypass by creating a white list of allowed actions. The component that reads these policies is called a “broker.” The broker performs actions based on those policies, and when an admin provides a properly configured policy file, the broker can bypass the application’s default restrictions. The broker first reads and applies all custom policies prior to applying the default policies. Since custom policies take precedence, they are useful for fixing broken workflows, supporting third party plug-ins, and cases where unsupported machine configurations cause the Protected Mode to impair required functionality. Configurable policies have two requirements: They must reside in the Reader install directory adjacent to AcroRd32.exe in the install folder. for example: D:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\ The name of the policy file must be ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt. So, well, I don't have a windows machine. I cannot test this any more for you, alas. Laura -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
