Hello,
I am currently trying to figure out where I can find the the MSI version for the Acrobat installers. I checked on our LWS site , and seems like we are only offered the .EXE version. I also checked on the FTP site and found the one for Reader but nothing for Acrobat...I contacted customer support didn't get anywhere. Can anyone offer any help on this?
Thanks
I have a couple conference rooms and shared computers throughout my organization. We recently transitioned to the Enterprise Named License Adobe Acrobat DC Pro subscription. Does the shared computers in the conference rooms and other areas need a named license associated to in order to active and register the product?
I'm installing adobe dc via .msi and trying to get the C++ 2013 to install with the installation. Even though I have set the settings in my setup.ini file, it doesn't seem to install the 2013 C++. Am I missing something?

Hello,
Is there any best practices or things to be careful about when deploying Reader DC to non-internet connected PC's? Currently we're using Reader X, which we are patching regularly via a domain startup script. Specifically, I want do know:
1) Can Reader DC be deployed in the same way we are currently doing for Reader X (i.e. first install the base package file via msiexec.exe /i in a startup script then install the latest patch files using msiexec /p also using a startup script)
2) Does Reader DC require authentication via the internet, or can that be turned off via the Adobe Customization Wizard or Group Policy?
3) Can I turn off all cloud related features and anything else that requires an internet connection via the Adobe Customization Wizard or Group Policy?
4) Is there anything else important to know about?
Thank you.
Hello,
We are working on upgrading all our system to Windows 10 with Adobe Acrobat DC installed on the image. We have also used the custimization wizard to create an offline exception and add the serial# to the install. The plan is to create several images on 1 PC and then just replace the hard drives on the machines that we want to upgrade. The problem were are having is once we move the hard drive to the new PC, Adobe Acrobat seems to lose the offline configuration and wants the user to Sign-In with an Adobe ID. We do not want this to happen. If we do not change the hard drive and use the same system that the image was created on, we do not have this problem. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this working without having to uninstall and re-install Adobe Acrobat?
Thanks,
Gavin
I am trying to get PDFs to open in either Adobe Pro or Reader from within SharePoint. It seems like the only viable alternative is to install the Adobe Acrobat SharePoint opendocuments component on our systems. I have looked online to find the plugin but cannot locate it. There was a posting that I read, that suggested that it is installed during the Adobe install. It was not installed on my system, and I cannot find it anywhere in the IE 11 Add-On manager looking at All Add-Ons. Another post said that the add-on would become visible once a SharePoint document is opened. That does not happen. Another post recommended that the DOCIcon.xml file should be modified. That cannot happen, as modifying that file changes the PDF opening behavior on the entire Farm, and I want this to be limited to just one site. Thoughts?
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
The following error is produced in Acrobat when trying to click version history documents in SharePoint 2010. "The URL you have provided could not be reached. Please verify that the URL is correct and that the network location is reachable." The revision of the document is reachable, but through typical HTTP via a web browser...but not through the SharePoint <==> Acrobat X Pro COM object magic that works fine for currently checked out documents. Please see inserted image. Thoughts on a fix?
Hi All,
i need some help with this freaky Acrobat Reader X version.
We have currently ~1000 computers with different old versions of AR (form 6 to 9)
We need to upgrade to 10.0.1 version all PC's
Will use SCCM for distributing the package.
OK... everything here seems good but ... a lot of problems and erros appear.
First we've installed on test group of 10 pc's the AR 10.0.0
all users start complainig that they can't open the pdf's from our file servers.
Solution - bring the patch 10.0.1
After that all users start complaining that they can't print - Windows Error - Acrobat need to be closed !
Solution - Protection mode disabled.
My questions :
1. How can I distribute both the Package of Acrobat and the update together with SCCM
All my tries and reaings failed !!!
i've try different methods and no success
msiexec /i /q \\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" PATCH=\\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\adbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp
this do not work for me This is in SCCM program
2. How can i disable through Adobe Wizard the Protection Mode ?
I know how to do it manually but is not acceptable this way - i can't communicate with 1000 users to do this manually
I know how to disable it from registry with GPO , but i can't disable it before installation, also i can't disable it on all PC's after installation, because it will take several days to complete for all pc's and this "hole" of some days will stop the work of our end-users.
Any fresh ideia is wellcome. Also any help
Thanks
Hello,
actually I´m creating install packages with the Customization Wizard for Acrobat and Reader XI.
For Acrobat and Reader X we had some issues with viewing chinese documents and because of that we had to install the Asian Language Support in the category "Features" as shown below:
(Screen from Customization Wizard X)
Now with Customization Wizard XI this features are no longer available:
Are this features now basically integrated with XI or what do I have to do?
Thanks and regards
Daniel
Is it true the Acrobat Reader supports Intune?
Hello,
I have installed latest Adobe Reader DC in my test-Environment running on Windows Server 2016 and Citrix XenApp 7.13.
The graphic-quality is bad in Reader. Especially the Icons in the main toolbar look shabby.
Have a look at the screenshot:
I tried some settings like "bAntialiasGraphics", "bAntialiasImages" and so on, but there was no improvement.
I did also open up a few PDFs and noticed, that the Image quality is also bad.
Does anybody have an idea on how to improve this?
Additional I noticed, that Adobe Reader DC uses ist own mouse-cursor-set. (black-cursor, hand, ...)
Is it possible to prevent the Reader to change the cursors?
Thank you!
Hi All,
I have a requirement to package Adobe Acrobat DC 2015.
The source exe extracts MSI. I have created MST for the extracted file and added serial key and all necessary settings to deploy. Upon installation, on first launch it prompts for Signing option. I am unable to disable the screen after applying some registry sittings specified in the below link:
Online features — Acrobat Customization Wizard DC for Windows
It would be of great help, if someone could assist me in achieving the purpose.
Regards,

I used the Customization wizard to create a custom install which included our serial number and created an Off-line installation.
We have acrobat DC running on Citrix 7.8. It is installed on a Gold Master image server, licensed and works fine on the master server.
Once servers are deployed using the image, when acrobat is launched you get the Sign In Required dialogue box and have to go through the licensing process.
I have been reading through the posts about this service and have found that others are having similar issues a we do. For us the hard disk usage is at 100% and the CPU between 50%-100% unless I use Windows 10 System Configuration to disable this service. As we have thousands of computers running Adobe products we want to make sure we have the best solution.
Has this been fixed? I have seen a post that said it is a know issue in 2016 but there was no response that it had been fixed. If it has been fixed what do we need to update to fix it? Can we just update one product or do we have to update the whole suite. Our users do not log into Creative Cloud.
We use Creative Cloud packager to create deployments for our Microsoft SCCM server.
Thanks for your help,
Daniel

Can ANYONE please tell me what the 'ESD' means for Acrobat XI Pro Win ESD? What is the difference between 'Acrobat XI Pro' and 'Acrobat XI Pro Win ESD'?
I was able to successfully create a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Group Policy that would be able to distribute the Adobe Reader Application using the Adobe Customization Wizard XI. I tried to use the same procedure from the Adobe Acrobat Standard 11 download from the adobe licensing site and was unable to get the Group Policy to work. The error message that I am getting is...
The install of application Adobe Acrobat XI Standard 11.0 from policy Deploy Adobe Acrobat 11 failed. The error was : %%1603
This is the procedure that I created for deployment of Adobe Acrobat XI using Group Policy.
How to create a group policy deployment of Adobe Acrobat XI
Overview:
This procedure covers the steps needed to create a group policy that will deploy the Adobe Acrobat installation.
Requirements
• Windows 2008 Group Policy
• Adobe Acrobat Customization Wizard
o ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/11.x/11.0.00/misc/CustWiz11000_en_US.exe
• Adobe Acrobat XI (Version 11)
o download from adobe account
Procedure:
1. Download the Adobe Acrobat XI package.
2. Extract the contents of the Adobe Acrobat XI package.
a. Type msiexec.exe /a AcroStan.msi
b. Click Next
c. Put in the Network Location Share where everyone can extract the installation.
d. Click Install
e. The package will then extract to the network location as indicated above.
f. Click Finish, once the installation has completed.
g. Open the Adobe Customization XI Wizard, and customize the package by selecting the AcroStan.msi file.
h. Customize the AcroStan.MSI installation file
i. Default viewer of PDF files: Make Acrobat the Default PDF Viewer
ii. Remove previous versions of Acrobat
iii. Run Installation: Silently
iv. If reboot is required at the end of installation: Suppress reboot
i. Shortcuts: Remove the desktop Shortcut
j. Online and Adobe Services: Disable Product Improvement Program: checked.
k. Generate Transform File
i. Click Transform > Generate Transform File
ii. Create an Setup.Ini file in the folder of the Distribution Package.
iii. Name the Transform File something useful like “CompanyConfigs”.
3. Create a Group Policy to deploy the software package. It is usually best to have a group policy for each software installation package.
a. Update the Domain Default Policy with Always install with elevated privileges. This will allow all software deployment packages to install.
i. Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Installer > Always install with elevated privileges : Enabled.
b. Create a Group Policy to enable Windows 7 Verbose Mode
i. Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > Verbose vs normal status messages : Enabled.
c. Create a Group Policy for the Software Installation
i. Computer Configuration > Policies > Software Settings
ii. Right click and select New > Package
iii. Click the AcroRead.msi
iv. Click Advanced
v. Click the Modifications Tab and click Add
vi. Optional: Click the Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management.
Note: This setting can be used to uninstall the application if the group policy ever changes in that the application should be removed.
vii. The package is now created …
4. Test the Client in a Virtual Machine
a. Go to a windows client and run “gpupdate /force”.
b. The system will then respond that it needs to restart the computer.
c. Type Yes, and allow the computer to reboot.
d. If Group Policy is not setup to allow for verbose messages in Windows 7 then the user will just see “Please wait…”, if verbose message is enabled the user will see “Installing Adobe Acrobat…”.
Can someone please tell me what I am missing to get the group policy deployed? It has the same permissions as the Adobe Reader folder and I have done everything exactly the same, except that Adobe Standard has the license number, and owner information included in the Transform file (.mst).
Thank you.
Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17728
Running on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
Add-On (ActiveX Control) - Adobe PDF Reader (AcroPDF64.dll) 11.0.11.18 Class ID: {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}
We have an issue whereby certain websites that load embedded PDF files will simply not invoke the PDF Reader addon and load the PDF.
We are only experiencing this in Internet Explorer, other browsers such as Google Chrome, work as intended.
Loading PDFs that are not embedded load and work fine with the browser as expected.
We have a fairly strict Group Policy structure, which prevents Internet Explorer Add-Ons from loading, unless they are in a permitted list.
The Group Policy Object uses the following settings:
User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Security Features > Add-on Management
The setting 'Add-on List' is enabled - I have made sure that the Adobe PDF Reader Class ID value is on and enabled. It does appear as this on the machine, and as states non-embedded PDFs work fine in the browser.
The setting 'Deny all-add-ons unless specifically allowed in the Add-On List' is also enabled. This is the setting that is causing the issue. If this setting is disabled, then the embedded PDF will render and work.
I need to understand what other Class ID's are being called by Internet Explorer to render embedded PDFs and then add them into the permitted list.
The website in question is Key Investor Information documents | Legal & General Investments - selecting any the PDFs in the middle opens another third party website:
This never loads the embedded PDF just the HTML title bar. Using the IE Developer Tools, we can see that the document sits as 'Pending' with an application type of application/pdf. Copying the link directly and pasting into the browser opens the PDF as expected.
Doing some research, I can see there are 4 DLL files within C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\Activex
I have found the Class ID values for these in the registry and added these into the Add-On List. This still has made no difference.
I'm sure its Internet Explorer calling other Add-Ons via DLL to then open Adobe PDF Reader in embedded mode.
Thanks,
Tom
