    I have a .pdf file that has a .zip file attached. When I try to open or save the .zip file, I get the following message:

    Acrobat cannot save or open the file attachment "bbbb.zip" because your security settings do not allow this file type to be saved or opened.

    How do I change my security settings to allow this?

    I had the same problem, but fortunately, there's a solution:

    Run regedit (start->run, then type: regedit)

    go to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\7.0\FeatureLockDown\cDefaultLaunchAttachmentPerms

    and then double click the sBuiltInPermList .

    Scroll down and find in the right hand part the extension type that you want to enable (in your case it's the .zip).

    Modify the number placed right after the extension (for example, in your case you should have something like |.zip:3|) and change the number to 1.

    The new value should be: |.zip:1|

    Restart the Adobe Reader and you should be able to open and save the .zip attachments.

    Hope it helps!

    Thanks for the reply zrados, that didn't work though. Any more suggestions anyone?
