Pages with PDF Icon prompt for password.

midhun July 8th, 2009

Had a strange issue of the pages on a publishing site with pdf icon in them were prompting for password. If I hit cancel the I see that the only elements which didnot render correctly were the pdf icons which showed up as a white box with a red cross in them.

I copied it from the internet from adobe site

The solution:

Add the local system users group (LOCALMACHINE\Users) to the Access Control List of the file (icon).

Permissions for Icon File

You might want to check if the file is blocked since it comes from an external source. In such a case unblock and apply.
