Acrobat 8.2 self heal mechanism attempts to copy the 8.2 version of the '.../Unicode/Mac' folder back to this location. (The 8.2 version of this folder causes the initial issue of Illustrator and InDesign CS/CS2 not launching.) To prevent this self heal from happening, deny everyone write access to the '.../Unicode/Mac' folder copied from this document.

The Mac folder attached to this KB document already has the correct permissions set, so it should not be necessary to complete the steps below. However there may be cases where the permissions for the Mac folder get overwritten. In such a case, the original issue can reoccur. To solve this issue, complete the steps below:

  1. Follow Solution 2 and make sure that all Adobe applications are closed.
  2. Right or Control click and select 'Get Info' on the Mac folder in “ /Library/Application Support/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/”, which you have copied from the .dmg file attached to this document.
  3. Verify that under 'Sharing and Permissions' all users listed have no write access
  4. If a change is required, click the padlock symbol and provide your Administrator credentials
  5. Select the user which has Write access and change it to 'Read Only'.
  6. To check if the issue has been solved, launch Acrobat 8.2 and then Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.
