Adobe Reader 9.1 and Flash 10 installation SCCM command

Hi All
I planning to update our Adobe Flash and Reader version to the latest one.
Our environment is a little messy because we have got different version all over the place. Have you guys had same issue how should I remove different version of adobe application via SCCM?
Another question is do you guys have got command line to install Adobe Flash and Reader via SCCM using msiexec option to install with out reboot, silent and never ask for adobe update notification (As attached file)?
Thank you all.

No let me clarify.  Adobe has a tool that allows you to create an answer/configuraiton file to do unattended installs of Adobe products.  So what we were able to do was use this application suppied by Adobe to create a separate answer file (MST file) that was used in conjunction with the .msi package to deploy the Adobe software with all of the settings and configurations required by the organization, such as the disable of auto update and application of patches etc.
What you need is the stand alone redistibutable adobe msi package and the following program.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3993
If you download that application it lets you create a custmized install of Adobe Acrobat using that MST transform file in conjunction with the .msi file.  Once you have created the answer file and configured the install the way you want all you have to do is create the SCCM package using that syntax pointing to your custom msi and mst files and it should execute.  It is very granular right down to removing splash screens etc.
I also confirmed that for the flash update I just used the following command for my program to execute within SCCM and this worked to install the latest version of Flash.  This just does a silent install
Msiexec /i <path to Adobe Flash msi file> /qn
This just does a silent install of the mis package with no user interaction.  There is no removal or reboot required for adobe flash so it should not be an issue.
Here is a list of the different commands and switches you can use on an msi package.

  • Runtime error with Adobe Reader 9.x and IE

    I'm getting a runtime error with any adobe reader 9.x and Internet Explorer whenever a .pdf is being viewed online.  It will pull the .pdf up and then pop up a runtime error window and close it down completely.  It is only happening with individuals that have redirected app data folders and profiles.  I have all machines running Windows XP sp3 and IE8.  I know, I know, I can always go to Firefox or Chrome, but IE is easily managed with group policy lockdowns.  I can unintall reader 9.x and then reinstall 8.x and it works perfectly.  The only problem with that is that I have to go do every machine and physically uninstall since I buildt the windows xp installer package with it.  Does anyone know a workaround or if adobe is going to get it fixed pretty soon?

    I am experiencing exactly the same problems on one of two identical machines after something happened in the registry.
    The first problem that appered was an error 1325 "Favorites is not a valid short name".
    I did find the registry key involved (%userprofile%\Favorites) and fixed it.
    So now the the next one: yours.
    I think the solution can be found in the list of registry keys that Adobe Reader is accessing.
    btw Eusing registry cleaner did not find this key to be in error.
    Problem is that the Reader does not ask for an alternative location after stumbling on the key.
    Who can gnerate a list of keys accessed?

  • I have an editable pdf made in Acrobat. Viewing it Adobe Reader Mobile (Android) and I can fill it fine. I want to be able to fill the form but it keeps autosaving. I just want to email the form and then it goes back to an unfilled form. How do i do that?

    I have an editable pdf made in Acrobat. Viewing it Adobe Reader Mobile (Android) and I can fill it fine. I want to be able to fill the form but it keeps autosaving. I just want to email the form and then it goes back to an unfilled form. How do i do that?

    Currently, Adobe Reader for Android does not provide an option to disable auto-save.
    In the Reader home screen (where your files are displayed), you can make a copy of the original PDF document, open the copy (instead of opening the original document), make changes to the copy.  Once you email the copy, you can delete it.
    For more information, please see Help > How To... > Copy, edit, delete, manage.
    Although it is not the most convenient way to accomplish the task, that's the only feasible workaround that is available in Adobe Reader for Android right now.

  • Does Adobe Reader for iOS and Android Support Encryption with PKI Solution?

    Hello there,
    I have been searching for an answer whether or not Adobe Reader for iOS and Android can read encrypted PDF files by public key infrastructure solution (encrypted by a public key, to be decrypted by its private key pair), but to date I have not found the answer.  From the Adobe web site, I understand that Adobe Reader for Android supports to read encrypted document by AES256 but it does not mention about PKI.  I had to guess that it does not support encryption with PKI but I would just like to get a formal answer, and would like to know whether Adobe Reader Mobile will support it. 
    Thanks!
    Masaya

    Hi there,
    Now we have Acrobat DC Mobile but I am still wondering if encryption/description using PKI solution (digital certificates) is supported.  Could anyone let me know?  Thank you.

  • Adobe Reader 9.2 and AIR hotfix

    I'm running into an Adobe reader 9.2 and AIR compatibility problem. I developed an AIR App with
    browser panel that invokes a PDF doc using Adobe Reader. When I update to the latest Adobe
    Reader (9.2), I start having errors with a dialog saying errors related to the CoolType.dll.
    I found this in one of the devnet articles which mentions a hotfix. Where do I get it??
    I cannot find it anywhere on the Adobe site.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/reader/articles/reader_compatibility/readercomp_overview.pdf
    AIR
    AIR applications are unable to load a PDF using Reader 9.2
    AIR applications that load a PDF in the broswer will no longer work with Adobe Reader 9.2.
    Recommended action: This issue will be addressed in an upcoming patch release to Reader. For
    enterprises which can control the deployment of Reader, a hotfix is available from Adobe Support.
    Thanks in advance,
    Eddy.

    As special service for you I just downloaded and installed the Reader V9.2,
    opened the Reader via activex embedde into a small GUI
    and loaded via src a testfile.
    Then printed the file (manual via menuitems/print icon) with some different settings.
    All works fine. Did you try other manual actions, like copy to clip, rotate, ...
    Maybe it is a problem with your GUI.
    Try to start embedded using IE as GUI or simple try if you can print a pdf opend via IE.
    IE use the same activex as you for you GUI.

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • Display pattern of numeric field in adobe reader ver 8 and 9.

    I have added a text field to my form and have set the following properties:
    Type: Numeric field
    Limit length to visible area: checked (so that it accepts upto 9 digits)
    display pattern: zzz9
    data pattern: zzz9
    data format: Integer
    When I type "123456789" in the field, adobe reader version 7 and 9 are adding commas to the number and are displaying it as "123,456,789" while adobe reader 8 displays it the way i want "123456789"
    Appreciate if someone can quickly provide some guidance here.

    The issue is that the pattern that you are applying from the field cannot be applied to your input so the default pattern for numeric fields is being applied (hence the 123,456,789). If you make sure that your numeric field is set for integer (Binding tab/Data Format). Then set the display pattern to num{zzzzzzzz9}. It will work.
    The default pattern is held in the XDP template. It is created based on your locale. If you click on the XML Source tab (between Preview and Master Pages - if it is not visible then you can make it visible on the View/XML Source menu)then do a serach ctrl-F for numberPattern you will see where it is defined in the template. If you modify this one then it will only be applied for this form. Any new forms will revert back to the old pattern.

  • How to move Adobe Reader 8 to new PC without installation disks

    Just got a new computer.
      I've got the new computer and the adobe on the old one.  I don't have the disks anymore... can I move it over some how?

    You DO realize that Adobe Reader is a free product and can be downloaded from the Adobe site, right?
    And I suppose it's possible that you got version 8 on disk but that's not common. Are you sure it's Adobe Reader you have and not Adobe Acrobat?
