Adobe Reader Query - Exclude Acrobat

Trying to add a query that will give me all computers with Reader installed, but not any that have Acrobat installed. We have some that have Reader and Acrobat both installed and others that have only one of them. This is what I'm using and it isn't working,
it is showing any computer that has Reader installed whether it has Acrobat installed also or not.
select SMS_R_System.ResourceId, SMS_R_System.ResourceType, SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_R_System.SMSUniqueIdentifier, SMS_R_System.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup, SMS_R_System.Client from  SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName like "Adobe Reader%" and SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName not like "Adobe Acrobat%"

You will need a subselect query to do this. These will get you started.

  • Conflict with Adobe Reader 9 and Acrobat 6

    I'm having an issue with a conflict between Reader 9 and Acrobat 6.  PDF files open properly in Reader 9, but when I open URL's with PDF links it defaults to Acrobat 6.  Reader 9 is the default program on my machine to open PDF's and I have tried to edit preferences, but it still does not work.
    I have uninstalled Acrobat 6, but I really like the idea of "printing" to a PDF.  If I decide to reinstall Acrobat 6 should I uninstall Reader 9 first and then reinstall it again later?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You can do what you have stated as well i.e. Uninstall Reader 9 and reinstall Acrobat 6 and then Reader 9. But do make sure that while installing Reader 9, select Reader 9 as the default PDF viewing application when you are prompted.
    Or, once you have installed BOTH Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 on your system, please change the following registry key to point to AcroRd32.exe (usually present at: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe").
    HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
    Hope this resolves your problem

  • Adobe Reader Rights with Acrobat 10 Pro

    I recently upgraded from Acrobat Pro 9 to 10.  With 9 I could assign Adobe Reader Rights.  With 10 I can't quite figure out how to do that and forms designed in 9 when revised lose these rights.  Any suggestions?

    I think you are in the wrong forum.
    This forum deals with Adobe LiveCycle Collaboration Service.

  • Weblink behavior Adobe Reader vs. Acrobat Professional

    I have a PDF that contains a link to a web site. If the PDF is opened in Adobe Reader (7.0.0) and the machine has IE7 the link works whether or not IE7 is already open. If the document is opened in Acrobat Professional (7.0.9) and the machine has IE7 the link only works if IE7 is already open, if IE7 isn't already open nothing happens. Right clicking and selecting Open Weblink in Browser doesnt do anything either. Is there a way to setup the PDF to ensure it will open IE7 if it isn't already open? If so how do I do that?
    Thanks,
    Ann.

    There are 2 issues here (this question is asked a LOT !!!)
    When Acrobat or Reader are opened and the PDF is closed, the program stays running in the background, so the next time a PDF is opened the "current" program is used
    There also seems (I think) to be a difference/problem in the way the Windoze Registry handles file associations, so the program you WANT is not always the program that is USED to open a given file
    You might use the forum search, looking for something like
    acrobat reader file assocation
    To see if one of the MANY previous discussions has a solution

  • Change the launch default back to Adobe Reader 9 (from Acrobat 6)?

    I have Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat 6 both loaded.  Until a week ago I could launch
    PDF files in a broswer without difficulty.  They would launch in Adobe Reader 9.  Now when I try to launch a PDF in a browser Adobe Acrobat 6 launches and I get a message:
    "The Adobe Acrobat / Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser.  Adobe Acrobat version 8/9 is required."
    It seems that Acrobat 6 is the default now for PDF files.  How do I change the default Adobe Program that launches back to Adobe Reader 9?
    Confused,
    Simple Mind

    Hii.
    Go to any PDF file, Right click it ->Propoerties-> in open with select ADOBE READER 9 and OK...
    I hope it will work. Or innopenwith option select reader 9 and click the check box below-"Always use this....."

  • Open Adobe Reader and not Acrobat in browser

    I just installed the now freelaý available Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and in my browers PDF files are now opened in that one.
    But I intend to use it only for editing PDFs. Since it is not the newest version, I would for security reasons prefer to have Adobe Reader open PDFs in my browsers, since it will always be the newest version.
    How can I keep Acrobat and still have the Reader open the files?
    A plugin or some setting?

    It IS now freely available FROM ADOBE: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ , with serial number and all! And it was activated by Adobe after I installed it! No crack, no hack... (At least this is available in Europe, maybe not in the US?.)
    But plesae advice how I can make Reader (latest version) open in the browser instead of Acrobat. There will surely be a way, such as, maybe, a change in the Registry,
    In the Reader, there is an option Edit > Preferences > Internet, but it now points to Acrobat...
    In Acrobat there is a similar option where I can mark "Display PDF in browser". It makes no difference if I mark or unmark it.
    Normally, the Reader should have this option, too, but it has now been hijacked by Acrobat.
    There  must be a way, please tell me...

  • Upgrade Adobe Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro

    Hi,
    Is this at all possible, or do I need to purchase the full software package?

    "Upgrade" means from an earlier Acrobat version, like 9 or X.

  • My free Acrobat trial expired and now I can't open PDFs with Adobe Reader

    I recently downloaded a free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro before purchasing the software.  I already have Adobe reader installed on my computer (Dell PC -- Windows 7).  I attempted to purchase Adobe Acrobat as the parent of a student and I was told I had to wait for verification, which could take 1-2 days.  In the mean time, EVERY time I try to open a PDF, it asks me to buy the software and reminds me my trial has expired.  How can I revert back to using the free Adobe Reader I have always used?  If I had known it would be this much trouble, I never would have tried the free trial!  Can anyone help me out?
    Thank you!!

    Open Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | General: use the Select Default PDF Handler to specify Adobe Reader instead of Acrobat.

  • Adobe Customization Wizard X doesn't set Adobe Reader X to be default when customizing Acrobat X

    I've recently started working with Adobe Customization Wizard X.
    I've got Adobe Reader X customized and it's already installed all computers. Now, I'm working on customizing Adobe Acrobat X. During the customization, I only have the following 2 options:
    1. Installer will decide which product will be the default
    2. Make Acrobat the default PDF viewer
    Choosing the 1st option, makes Acrobat as the default PDF viewer. In other words, I don't get an option to keep Adobe Reader X as the default on the existing computer.
    Found a blog in Adobe site which suggests running Adobe Reader installation again after Acrobat is installed. Although it works, it just isn't a good solution (my opinion).
    http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2011/03/installing-acrobat-x-and-reader-x-on-the-same- machine.html
    Can you advise what're the registry setting that I can set during the Acrobat X customization so that it doesn't become the default PDF viewer.

    Hi Ben,
    Here's what I am trying to accomplish I had Acrobat Standard v10.1.4 scripted so I can deploy it to a Citrix Server (XENAPP6) via SCCM 2007 I have at least 50 licenses of Acrobat Standard deployed to 50 users. All of our Citrix Servers have Adobe Reader v10.* installed as our default pdf viewer. There are other apps that are deployed to this Citrix Server and I wanted to make sure that pdf files open on Adobe Reader instead of Acrobat Standard.
    I had to change the installer tables directly so I don't have to get it re-scripted to use this command line. Is it a best practice not to change the isntaller table?
    msiexec /i "\\source\Acrobat10\AcroStan.msi" transforms="\\source\Acrobat10\AcroStan.mst" LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=”YES” /qb /norestart
    Thanks a lot for your help I'm looking forward to hear from you.

  • Adobe reader 8 / acrobat

    I have windows xp. I am trying to open a pdf file that was sent to me. I have adobe reader 8. I was told by my instructor I need acrobat to open it. Doesn't adober reader 8 have acrobat or do I need something else? I am Computer DUMB!! Please help me!!!!

    I've had trouble opening a couple of PDF files, one that was sent to me via email (twice!) and one that I downloaded off a website. I just installed Adobe 9 and both times I get the message:
    "Adobe Reader could not open *file name* because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded.)
    Any suggestions? I'm computer literate but know NOTHING about programming.

  • Adobe reader XI not updating to Adobe Acrobat DC

    I see that my Adobe reader XI (11.0.10) is not updating to Adobe Acrobat DC.
    Is that because they are different channels?
    Should I shift to Adobe Acrobat DC? If so, what are the extra features does it offer over my current Adobe reader XI.

    Hi Bunny ,
    I would like to tell you about both the software .Adobe Reader is a software meant to view files .It is a free software from Adobe .
    If you want to upgrade to Adobe Reader DC (that is different from Acrobat DC ) you could uninstall the present Acrobat XI version and install the latest Adobe Reader DC .
    And yes ,they are different software that is the reason you could not upgrade from Adobe Reader XI to Acrobat DC .
    Whereas Acrobat ( be it any version ,the latest Acrobat DC or any prior version ) is a paid software from Adobe .Acrobat is required to view and edit PDF' .
    It is available in two flavors ,i .e Acrobat DC pro and Acrobat DC standard .You could either opt for Acrobat DC monthly subscription or opt for an annual one .
    Here's is a list of some of the new features in Acrobat  DC and pricing policy .
    Plans and pricing: Compare plans | Adobe Acrobat DC
    You could refer the following document to get more information about Acrobat DC .

  • I have Adobe reader. I want to transfer data in files to Microsoft Word. Do you have a trial offer I can get to see if it works before I subscribe?

    I am a senior citizen on a limited budget. I have hundreds of files of newspaper articles I would like th change to Microsoft Office Word 97-2003. Is there some kind of trial offer I can get for a few days to try the Adobe PDF to Microsoft Word conversion package and make sure it works before I subscribe? Thank you.

    "I copied them from Paper of Record using Adobe PDF"
    Ok, some problems are present with that.
    --| There is no such application as "Adobe PDF".
    --| PDF is not Adobe's (it is an ISO Standard file format/technology, ISO 32000-1:2008).
    --| If all you have is Adobe Reader (any version) then you cannot create PDF.
    No version of Adobe Reader can create PDF files, manipulate PDF page content or export PDF page content.
    Perhaps the online source already provide PDF files and these were download?
    Both Adobe Reader XI and Acrobat XI (Standard and Pro) provide us with a "Select" tool.
    IF the PDF's page content is renderable text ("digital" characters rather than an image / picture of characters which is the output of all scanners or "outlined" fonts (which is a vector graphic drawing of the character and not a renderable font) then that renderable text can be copied.
    Using the Select tool one selects some rendrable text content then right clicks for the context menu.
    On that menu there is the choice of "Copy".
    Once copied the content can be pasted into a support application / file.
    So, doing this from either Acrobat XI or Adobe Reader XI I can  (and have) done a "copy" of renderable textual content in a PDF and then "pasted" same into an MS Word file.
    With that  said I must admit I am skeptical of what you have harvested being textual content that is actually renderable text (real glyphs derived from real font encoding tables associated with the source file). 
    Almost always old - old stuff that gets online (in webspace or network space) is the image / picture of the imprint on paper that was scanned (aka "captured"). It may or may not have been OCR'd.
    If some organization had folks type in / keyboard in content to a file then, yes,  there'd be renderable text.
    If what you have is displaying the same layout as the old newspapers then it is 99 44/100 ths of certainty that you have an image, a picture of the old newspaper articles / issues.
    If the image / picture of text that is a PDF's content has had OCR applied press Ctrl+A while viewing the PDF.
    If many "boxes" of blue appear you have OCR output.
    If one big blueish box over the whole page appears you do not have OCR output present.
    If you have OCR output then you have the "characters".
    These can be exported. These can have copy and paste performed.
    BUT no picture / image of text has "styles", "format", "layout", etc. -- it is a picture eh.
    So, you get recognized characters.  It will not be 100% (an "m" might be recognized as "n~")
    Once you have the OCR output characters in Word or whatever you must engage in cleanup.
    Please note the MS Word is most decidely not a page layout application so any rework to get a Word file to resemble the layout of a newspaper is problematic. 
    Keep in mind that back in the day what got to become the printed imprint on paper for any newspaper, etc always came from a manually laid out setup. No InDesign, etc back then.
    Be well....

  • Adobe Reader API

    Regarding Adobe Reader API, I know it's very limited, but all I need to do is open a file and go to a particular page. I've tried:
    With AcroPDF1
    .LoadFile "C:\test.pdf"
    .setCurrentPage 3
    End With
    which gives me "Runtime Error 424, Object Required," and I've tried:
    Dim AcroPDDoc As Object
    Set AcroPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Set pdDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    which gives me "Runtime error 429, Activex component can't create object."
    I've made sure all References to anything Adobe or Acrobat are checked off (I'm programming in MS Access using VB).
    What am I missing?
    Thanks.
    (PS I do own Acrobat Standard that I use on my office machine and I can't get the code to work there either. But I need to be able to use Reader for the project I'm working on.)

    Now this was an interesting thread...
    I have a similar problem, but I am not so familiar with VB or javascript or the Windows API, so I would appreciate explicit examples.
    I would like to make a .bat script (yes, DOS, under Win XP) to open a .pdf document using Acrobat Reader (v. 8.1.0 in my case). If the document is already open, I would like to close it and reopen it.
    Today, I do this with
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.1\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" test.pdf
    which works. However, it also locks the file for editing. I therefore need a way (from the command line) to either close test.pdf or open it read-only.
    I realize that this (at least closing the document) should be accessible via Adobe Reader API or Acrobat IAC, possibly through the javascript command app.openDoc() (I have looked into the documents mentioned above), but I have no clue about how to do this from the command line. Anyone care to help me out with an example?
