I was working in a client's office at night, instead of at home where I have complete control. He was running Acrobat 6 on Windows 2000, and I can't imagine that he had administrative rights on his computer. The problem is that all of the joboptions were stored on a network drive--drive W:\, and he did not have rights to save there. We tried saving joboptions to C:\. We succeeded, but Acrobat didn't recognize them because they weren't on drive W:\. I would like for Acrobat to be able to use joboptions that are stored in a different location through the use of a Browse button or some other method. Users on a network can't be locked out of creating their own joboptions. My question was that I was wondering if prehaps I was missing something and there is a way for users without administrative privileges and without access to a specific network drive to create their own joboptions and store them locally. This is such an intregal part of using Acrobat that users need to have access to this feature. Next time I go into the office, I will talk to the network administrators about putting the joboptions that we need onto W:\. They had left when we were facing this problem.

We needed to create a PDF, and I needed to create a customized joboptions. Unfortunately, all the joboptions were on Drive W, and we couldn't save there. We tried saving to another drive, but Acrobat didn't recognize it. So I had to use a default joboptions that did not meet our needs. Is there a workaround for this that I missed? (I did consider e-mailing it home and creating a customized joboptions there!) If there's not something I missed, I hope Adobe will consider allowing joboptions to be stored on local drives in a network situation in the next version.
