Hi
we're moving to a VDI environment in our organization with Windows 7 image.
one of the goals is to have the minimum amount of master images for the users. therefore only components and middleware are installed on the master image and our main solution for dynamic deploying of applications is Microsoft App-V.
now the issue is with deploying Acrobat X (Standard or Pro). Acrobat X can be packaged with App-V but one of the main features that don't work is to grab a docx file and convert it to PDF.
I thought it's because the Adobe PDF printer is missing from the package though I tried to installed it locally and still I didn't manage to oporate it so I'm not sure if this is the problem and obviously not that easy to debug.
the error message is :
Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?
as Adobe Acrobat is one of the most common 3rd party software in the market I wanted to hear what Adobe has to offer for companies that are headed for this type technology. I know that for example Adobe Reader XI comes with the App-V Deployment kit that installs all the necesary components of the product locally in order to deploy the software by App-V with all the features available, but I didn't find anything similar for Acrobat XI.
obviously my last option is to add 2 seperate images (one with Acrobat Pro and one with Standard) and have a security group for every group of product users. but it's the hardest to maintain.
hope to get a solution from you here
thanks
