      Why can't administrators modify shared settings?

      In PDFCreator 3.4.1, administrators are not able to easily modify shared settings in the PDFCreator UI. While the optimal solution is to update to the latest version of PDFCreator, we also prepared a workaround:
      1. Copy the .ini file from %ProgramData%\pdfforge\PDFCreator to a safe place (e.g., your desktop or documents folder)
      2. Delete the .ini file from %ProgramData%\pdfforge\PDFCreator
      3. Import the .ini file (in PDFCreator -> Debug)
      4.  Apply the needed changes to the profiles
      5. Export your settings (in PDFCreator -> Debug)
      6. Keep a backup of the exported settings and copy the .ini file into the %ProgramData%\pdfforge\PDFCreator folder to share them
