Limitations with Protected Mode enabled include the following: • 3rd party plugins may require modification. • XP only: Accessibility features may or may not work. For example, some assistive technologies may not be able read document content while in Protected Mode. • Citrix and WTS environments are supported with 10.1 and later. • Protected Mode and Protected View are not supported until 10.1 and later. Note When a screen reader like JAWS or Window-Eyes is already running when Reader is started for the first time on XP systems, a warning is shown instructing the user to turn Protected Mode off manually. On Vista and Windows 7, screen readers do work normally. When Protected Mode cannot launch due to an unsupported configuration, Reader displays a dialog alerting the user of the incompatibility and provides the user with the option to disable Protected Mode.
