Apparently Acrobat 7 has trouble reading its caches when they reside on a networked home directory. This results in a message about a failure to initialize the Organizer Database when opening a PDF file in Acrobat right after it has been launched. The solution is to create a new folder named Acrobat in /Users/Shared, set its permissions to 777 so that all users can access it, and then create a symbolic link in each user's ~/Library » Caches folder that points to the /Users » Shared » Acrobat folder. The following terminal commands will accomplish the task, and are computer-specific:
$ mkdir /Users/Shared/Acrobat
$ chmod -R 777 /Users/Shared/Acrobat
The following commands remove the user's ~/Library » Caches » Acrobat folder and replaces it with a symbolic link to /Users » Shared » Acrobat. They are user-specific:
$ rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat
ln -s /Users/Shared/Acrobat ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat
I hope that it works for you as well.
