Protected View Mode

Specifies whether to use Protected View never (default), for files from an untrusted location (recommended), or always. The PV preferences were implemented in Acrobat 10.1 and are supported in Reader with 11.0. Possible values include: 0: (default) Disable Protected View. 1: (recommended) Enable Protected View for unsafe locations only. 2: Enable Protected View for all files. Note that the Customization Wizard 11 created the preference in an incorrect location at HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\TrustManager . This bug is fixed in the Wizard DC.
