PDF and User Rights
Peter Brandt
I recently installed WP2002 on a WinXP machine with an Administrator and a Limited account. The Administrator (me) does not have any problems creating, saving, etc., including Publish to PDF. The Limited account user can open WP (everything is very slow for him even though the machine is a screamer) without any problems. The problem is when the Limited account user tries to Publish to PDF,
when the Slow process finishes and one double clicks on the resulting file, Adobe Acrobat Reader v5 says the file is corrupted/damaged. I really don't want to give the user of that computer administrative access. I like the limited account restrictions.
Is there any workaround/fix for this WinXP problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It didn't work. Still same problem. An additional problem has creeped up that I was unaware of before; The writing tools don't work under a Limited User account. Is there anyway to give WP administrative rights but not the rest of the computer?
Thanks.

Peter,
Here are my notes on this for Win2000. It may well apply to WinXP as well
-- please let us know.
============
With the installation of WordPerfect Office 2000, a folder called shared is
installed, containing the writing tools.
Under windows 2000 the "owner" of this folder is the administrator, the one
who installed. Even if a user is a member of the power users group, that
user still does not have full rights to this folder.
Here is something to try, logged in as Administrator:
1. Find the \program files\corel\shared folder on the drive you installed
the suite to
2. Right click on it, and click on properties
3. Select Sharing tab
4. Ensure the folder is Shared
5. Click on Permissions
4. If the groups Users is there, highlight it, if it is not there add it
5. Look at the permissions below, give the Users full control and modify
rights as well to this folder.
6. Now try the writing tools.

Did you do a "/nomsi" install? I find that the writing tools & PDF publish are showing
up fine for restricted users on XP systems that I've installed.
Do you have other copies of WP installed on that system?
Where is the user's TEMP folder set to?
