The number of other tools included with this video editing suite are just unbelievable.

I notice the industry is moving away from Adobe, and this is probably the underlying reason. The alternatives are not as good, but then again we remain productive with no schedule collapses due to Adobe "security" (or incompetence, its hard to really tell). Frankly we're too scared to even try them, based on past "issues" and the high price we've paid, like the one I'm dealing with now. Adobe's system mangling, lack of support, and non-functional architecture is the reason we'v e kept away from your products in general.
I have learned that the reason I've kept buying Acrobat will soon be eclipsed by an open source project that appears to be active and progressing well. I'd delete it and walk away, but there is one legacy feature I think I still need, hence the effort. I now have three other PDF programs on my machine, all of which work, and none of which have been as poorly documented and non-functional as Acrobat. It looks like I may hav !e found the answer after literally hundreds of google searches, uninstalls, reinstall, etc., You force your customers to pay too high a price for your security features. You say to "give administrative privileges" - who do you give them to? I've been having the same trouble with Acrobat X Pro, and I've spent several days on this, for which Adobe will not be forgiven.
