Disable automatic updates in Adobe Reader DC?<<

 

Adobe Reader and Acrobat updater settings | DC, XI

 

have followed the above thread as to disable the auto updater for DC as we have our own patching tools.

however, I am still seeing attempts of out going traffic contacting for the download of AcroManifest.msi.

 

Registry keys that have been edited are as per below

 

 

Windows x86 (32-bit):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\Legacy\product name\product version

  • Windows x64 (64-bit): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\Legacy\product name\product version

Replace product name and product version accordingly. For example: Reader\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1043-7B44-AC0F074E4100}

Under the key, set the ModeDWORD value to one of the following:

0:Do not download or install updates automatically.
1:Do not download or install updates automatically.
3:Automatically download and install updates.

How to patch Acrobat Standard DC

$

0

Trying to follow same exact steps to update Acrobat Standard DC that I've used with Acrobat Standard X and not having success. Was hoping someone could weigh in, tell me what I'm doing wrong.

 

I've downloaded the "base" installer (Acrobat_2015_Web_WWMUI.exe) from the Adobe Licensing website. I extract it, and am left with bunch of different files, including the AcroPro.msi file, which is version 15.006.30033 according to Orca and the Adobe Customization Wizard.

 

I then downloaded the latest quarterly patch (Classic Track - Acrobat2015Upd1500630094.msp) from the Adobe Downloads site.

 

From a command prompt, I ran the following:

 

msiexec /a d:\adobe\acropro.msi /update Acrobat2015Upd1500630094.msp

 

After a minute or so the update completes. I check the version of the AcroPro.msi file and it now reports 15.006.30094.

 

I deploy using Group Policy, but here is where the installation fails. There is an error message in the Windows Application log stating, "Product: Adobe Acrobat DC -- Error 1334.The file 'dropboxstorage.api' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'Data1.cab'. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."

 

I remember a while back having this problem (missing files in the Data1.cab) and it being the result of my trying to apply the quarterly patch to an already patched MSI, rather than applying the quarterly patch to the base MSI file. But as far as I can tell, that's not happening here - I'm applying the patch to the base MSI.

 

Thoughts?

Prevent Reader as default viewer...iewer

Is it possible to prevent Reader X from taking PDF Ownership from Third-Party Viewers?  We use multiple PDF products and I understand LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP and IW_DEFAULT_VERB control whether Acrobat or Reader is the default, however, there appears to not be an option if you would like "NEITHER" product to be the default.

 

Have already tried LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP at the cmdline and within an MST however Reader takes ownership of the PDF filetype.

 

Anyone successful?

SCUP 2011 & Adobe Reader XI & XI Transition Catalog Problems

Hi-

 

I'm trying to use SCUP 2011 with WSUS 3.0 SP2 (Patched with latest rollup hotfix - WSUS-KB2734608-x64.exe). The problem that I'm running into is that it gives me the following error when trying to publish either Adobe Reader XI or either of the 2 transition packages "Reader 11.0.01 Update" or "Reader Multi Lingual User Interface 11.0.01 Update":

 

3 updates failed to be published.  View log here for more details.

     3 updates (includes dependencies) failed to build dependency graph.

 

Here is the bit of the logfile that includes me trying to publish just these 3 packages:

For some reason it keeps making this into a table...

In any event, I don't know why I'm missing dependencies (I've the publicly published Adobe Reader catalog downloaded and published in full content, the Adobe Reader 10 Transition Catalog, the Adobe Reader 11 Transition Catalog and finally, the Adobe Reader 11 Catalog - all downloaded directly from Adobe's Administrator Enterprise Deployment guide.)

 

Everything else publishes just fine.  Would LOVE some direction here.  Thanks.

Reader update on terminal server

"Grant offline exception" function, Internet access required?

$
0

Does the Adobe Customization Wizard "Grant offline exception" function REQUIRE Internet access to validate the S/N it was given? Because it's failing with an "offline exception grant process failed..." error.

 

The oobelib.log file pretty much indicates it's trying to access the Internet and ultimately ends with an "Adobe PRTK: Failed to validate the serial number" entry.

 

We are trying to run the Wizard on a system located on a secure network to create a transform to install Acrobat on other systems located on this same network - all of which have no Internet access.

Specify Log Location with Acrobat DC (CC) exe installer?

$
0
0

Hello,

I have a question regarding the somewhat recent CCP update that modified how Acrobat DC installations are handled.

For the most part, we've preferred deploying via MSI, however it seems the EXE method is now the preferred Adobe installation procedure.

Is there a parameter or switch to specify log file locations?

I was only able to find standard MSI switches.

 

My understanding is that these are the default log locations for CC installations:

 

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\<log>.gz
  • %Temp%\PDAPP.log

 

We're currently using the following silent installation switch.

  • setup.exe --silent

 

I was hoping to be able to specify a log location at installation. Is there an .EXE switch for this?

 

Thanks!

Plug-ins Don't Work in Reader XI; Work Fine in Reader X

$

We're looking to upgrade from Reader 9.x to Reader XI.  A bunch of us in IT have been running Reader X without issue for some time so we didn't anticipate any problems with XI. I tested the upgrade process on a machine with 9.x and although it worked fine, none of our add-ins worked.  I performed the following on a machine with XI with no positive results:

  • Performed repair or 'modify' installations of the applications in question that load add-ins/plug-ins into Adobe
  • I verified the .API files were in in the proper location
    • One plugin (caseMap) goes into reader\plug_ins
    • Another plugin (Interwoven) goes into reader\plug_ins\Interwoven
  • Verified protected mode was disabled via registry
    • reg add "HKEY_USERS\DefUser\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\Privileged" /v bProtectedMode /t reg_dword /d 0 /f

 

Again: Going from 9.x to X we don't have a problem, and usually adding the .API file is all that's necessary to get the plug-in working again.  But when going from 9.x to XI or X to XI, the plug-ins no longer work.

 

Has something drastically changed between X and XI that would make these add-ins cease to function?

I've reached out to the vendors & am awaiting responses.  In the mean time, is there anything I failed to check or something else I can do?


Install Adobe updates via WSUS and ignore UAC restrictions

Hi

 

My company has currently set new UAC security settings but we have an issue where we are not able to update Adobe products because UAC stops it, UAC also does not prompt for elevation it just out right blocks updates.

 

We really need a way to either allow the updater to run/install past the UAC restrictions OR find a way to distribute adobe updates via WSUS if it's possible

 

Thanks

Acrobat DC Offline Citrix Terminal Services and Desktops

I have a customer that purchased Acrobat Pro DC and it needs to be deployed in an environment that has No internet Access at any time, nor can this access be granted ever.

Also this is to be deployed to Provisioned ( PVS) Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop, once again this machines will not and cannot have internet access.

 

Is it possible to deploy Acrobat DC in this scenario? If not is there another version of Acrobat Pro that they can utilize?

 

From what I have seen I can do Offline Activation and disable registration with the wizard.. perhaps on separate computer, or laptop not connect to their network? but It looks like the PRTK tool would still require internet access when updating the master image.

 

Thanks for any help. It is greatly appreciated.

Deploy Acrobat DC

Hello...I'm the past I have deployed Adobe Acrobat DC by opening Creative Cloud Packager, selecting Creative Cloud for Enterprise, Create Package.  I select Adobe Acrobat DC and create the package.

 

From here I would use the customization took and go into the Exceptions folder and edit the .MSI.  Then I would push it out using Dell Kace.  After it installed I would push out the .MSI in the Build folder for registration.

 

After updating my Creative Cloud Packager, I created the package but noticed the Exceptions Folder was empty.  The Acro.msi is now in a setup folder in the Build folder.  I want to customize the .MSI and deployment it out to my school district.  Did something change now for the Exceptions Folder to be empty and how to I deploy it out to my organization?

Adobe Acrobat PRO DC, msi installer needed for MS Software Installation Group Policy

$

Is there a way to create a Adobe Acrobat Pro DC package in a .msi format, with the license key information already patched? We use Microsoft Windows Server Group Policy ( Software Installation) to deploy all of our software, and it only runs MSI installer package. With our current setup, we are unable to create logon script to run any .bat or .exe file, so running the License file (AdobeSerialzation.exe) post install, is not an option for us. Unless we manually run it on all of our workstations individually, which is what we would like to avoid.

 

I have tried to use the Adobe Customization Wizard DC to edit the msi file with the "exception" folder, I was able to find the box for "serial number". But I do no have access to a serial number, the only thing I could access, is a pre-created Licensed File, or the Installation package ( for individual install) that patch the software with the License info automatically. But it does not help us with an Enterprise deploy setup.

 

Please help.

Reader Security popup after X to XI upgrade - have tried customization wizard, reg edits, everything

$

Title: Adobe Reader Security

Body: Trusted certificates from your previous version of Adobe Reader were found.

Would you like to import them?

Any certificates that are not imported in this step will not be available in this version of Adobe Reader.

Buttons: [Import] [Use Default]

 

I've read through at least a dozen posts on many sites about this and no one has a real resolution.  Let me tell you what I've tried.  Each attempt was a clean upgrade from X to XI.

 

1 - First I tried the Customization Wizard, which did everything I want except get rid of this popup.

2 - Then again I went back in the Wizard and set the Directory Servers (C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Security\directories.acrodata) and Trusted Identities (C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Security\addressbook.acrodata) to copies of my own files on my own computer that did not get the post-install popup.

3 - I tried the same as #2, but with copies of my files from the C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Security\ folder (rather than version 11.

4 - I tried in the Wizard to add keys to HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\Security\cDigSig\cAdobeDownload for bAskBeforInstalling and bLoadSettingsFromURL both to 0.

5 - I tried on the cliet PC to change HKEY_USERS\clientusername\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Security\cPPKHandler\bCustomPrefsCreated to 0 prior to installation.

 

All of these still resulted in prompts to import the old certificates.  I'm out of ideas.

Set language of adobe reader DC to OS language with Group policy object

$

Hi All,


One of our customer is using multiple languages on a RDS environment, and we have a GPO in place that changes the windows server 2012R2 language setting to either English or Dutch based on 2 security groups a user can be in.

 

Based on this, we would like Adobe Reader DC to use the option to take over the language from the OS and open in English or Dutch.

 

I have tried to amend regkeys as follows in a new GPO, based on the regkeys as they are with the settings for the language in the application:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\Language\current = acrord32.dll

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\Language\next = acrord32.dll

 

But I cant seem to get it working.

 

I have searched the internet and that only comes back with installing the application using GPO's.

 

I also have used this link:

 

Adobe Reader 11 has landed with GPO ADM templates

 

I have imported the template but it is completely blank and I can't find any documentation regarding the language.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Adobe Reader / Pro XI bug with PDF as embedded object in Microsoft Excel

$

We are using Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro version 11.0.06, Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, with a mixture of MS Office 2010 and 2013.

 

We have been able to reproduce a bug using Reader/Pro together with Excel, where Reader/Pro freezes when we preform the following tasks.

  1. Open an Excel file where a PDF file is attached as an object in the spreadsheet
  2. Double click and open the PDF file attached, PDF is opened in Adobe Reader/Pro
  3. From Adobe Reader/Pro, click on the document on the Page Thumbnails, scroll the document up and down for a few times
  4. Close the Adobe Reader/Pro, it freezes and the adobe process is starting to consume the system memory

 

This problem is happening on multiple machines with Adobe Reader/Pro 11.0.06 installed, regardless of the Office version and is reproducible. We did not see such issue on Adobe X.

 

Is there anyone reported the same?
