Acrobat Pro XI problem+Accept End User License Agreement when opening a PDF inside IE
Hi folks, this issue has been challenging.
Acrobat Pro CC install
W7 X64
Deployment went ok after the code was worked out, but.....
We use Desire to Learn content management system at the community college where I maintain the student computers at. When running D2L and a PDF has been embedded in some course material, I am getting the message below and the PDF won't open.
“Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement" .
The only fix so far is to run up Acrobat Pro and run the program once. Fine and dandy, but we are looking at 700+ machines to clear in this fashion. The other part of this scenario we we also utilize Respondus Lockdown Browser to invigilate exams through D2L. Because of the "lock down" features, the student can't even get back to the desktop to run Acrobat and clear the message.
I have tried a number of GPO entries to no avail. As well, disabled the IE PDF viewer add-on. I ran Procmon with no results either; .
I have been scouring the Googlemachine and building on the GPO below to get around the issue with no results. I am hoping someone with a sharper eye than I can spot something or point me in the correct direction..
Thanks eh.

Hi technobyte,
Try using APTEE to do EULA suppression and check.

Reader X problem - Accept End User License Agreement
I have recently updated to Adobe Reader X.
I use Windows XP (SP3) and Internet Explorer.
Now, when I attempt to read a .pdf file a Reader X message pops up with the following message;
"Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement".
I do not have Adobe Acrobat, I am using the free Adobe Reader X.
Why am I getting this message and what can I do to stop it so that I can again read .pdf files.
This never happened with the previous version of Adobe Reader.
How can I go back to the previous version?
Thanks
Gryphon2345I have the same issue reported by Gryphon, however this response is an odd fix IF it were to be available to me.
The "Enable Protected Mode" is a new feature in Reader X that allows for a "sandbox" security layer in Reader. You can read up on that here: http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2010/11/technical-details-of-adobe-reader-x-protected-mod e.html
While it does prevent you from opening up certain PDF's directly, we've only seen this when opening up files over our network. The message received was an "Access Denied" issue, and turning this off got rid of that.
In my scenario, I originally attemtped to update Reader 10.0.1 to 10.1.0 using SCUP and the published update. This caused my custom setup to be overwritten (customizations included default acceptance of license agreement, removing Auto Updater, and disableing Protected Mode). I then had to re-create a custom installation using the Customization Wizard with the 10.1.0 MSI file from the Adobe FTP site. After running this, I'm getting the above error now on machines that never had Acrobat.
That being said, Alex's suggestion of turning this on or off is not applicable b/c it's disabled based on my custom installation. The box is grayed out and I can't even enable/disable it anyway.
Anyone out there have a better solution?
UPDATE: It appears that Alex is correct. I removed the registry entry bProtectedMode from HKLM\Software\Policies\adobe\10.0\featureLockdown and was able to open all files w/out the message. However, I'm not 100% sure what this will do to other PDF files as we originally disabled this so that certain files could be opened. So far, this user has been ok with Protected Mode ENABLED, however, in a recent test, I was blocked from opening a web PDF b/c of it on my PC at my desk.
also appears others threads have been started (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3767559#3767559) so not sure when this may be looked at or answered.

Have installed version 9.5 on my Windows 7 desk-top computer.I don't know what you mean by "where and how"; Adobe Reader will automatically present the license agreement to accept the first time you use it.

very frustrated. downloaded reader but when I try to download pop up box says I have to accept end user license agreement but there is no place to accept it at. I need to download pdf asap for my business. Please help.
Hi Pat. I've done that, it opens up the install window again. If I click on install it says it's already installed. Nothing comes up that allows me to accept the end user agreement. I just retried and the same thing happens.
I appreciate your help.

Problems with End User License Agreement
In April this year after trialling Acrobat Pro I decided to take out a year's sub to Acrobat Create. Since that time however I have been unable to open any pdf clicking on a web based (e.g. Google) url. Each time the following message appears - "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement." I have of course downloaded Acrobat Reader but it makes no difference.
How do I resolve this problem please?Can't click Accept | Acrobat, Adobe Reader

How do I accept end user license agreement in adobe reader?
I have just updated the Operation System on my iMac from OS 10.6.8 to OS 10.9.4. Safari was updated to 7.0.5. When I attempt to open a pdf in Safari, I get a notice that:
Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.
I have not been able to find any way to accept the End User License Agreement. How can I do this.
I can open pdfs in Chrome without any problems.
Thank you,
Don MonroeHi,
Go to 'Spotlight' at the top right corner of the Mac > Type Reader> Launch the 'Adobe Reader' application and then click on 'Accept' on the End User License Agreement.

Everytime i try opening a pdf this message comes up "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser" I have no idea where to find this agreement to accept it.
If you are in Windows (which we don't know), you can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement. In Mac, with Reader closed, go to your Applications folder, double click on the Reader icon, and follow the lead.

I recently updated my Mac operating system and now regularly get the above message whenever I click on website pdf(s). I have tried to relaunch Adobe Reader - but nothing remotely resembling an end user license agreement ever shows up. I can find nothing on the Adobe "help" sections that mentions anything about this problem. Any suggestions?
Tried this any number of times. I double click on the icon and nothing comes up - there is no lead, no directions, nothing comes up. I click on page top menu bar and can access legal notice page - but no end user agreement page shows up. Do I have to delete all Adobe Reader software and start over with a fresh download?

Normally there should be a checkbox or button (says Yes, Accept, etc). If nothing of the sort is evident it might be helpful if you show a screenshot of the screen asking for it.

Can't accept End User License Agreement
I am being prompted to accept the End User License Agreement for Adobe Reader but I don't know how to accept it. I've uninstalled and installed Reader, that didn't fix it. I'm using Chrome on my iMac Yosemite.

No option to accept End User License Agreement?
I am using a macbook pro, and have been using adobe reader for the past few weeks without problem. Now, as I try to open web-based pdf files for my immigration application, I get the message saying I must launch adobe and accept the EULA before I can view files.
The only problem - I launch adobe and NOTHING HAPPENS! No prompt to accept the EULA. I have scoured the internet and these forums for a solution but have yet to find one.
Any ideas? These are time sensitive documents and this is VERY frustrating.First we'll need to make sure the default application used in Safari to view PDF files is the same one which you are already using as standalone application to view PDF files. For that, please find and open the following file /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist and look for the value for Key named "WebBrowserUsePath". It might be possible that you'll not be able to understand the file contents as it isn't a standard text file. If that is the case, please share the file with us using Dropbox or any other file sharing utility.
Once we have made sure that the same application which you are using as standalone is the one being used in Safari we can try other troubleshooting steps if your problem still persists.
