Enterprise Version Inventory for Adobe Reader

Is there a tool or method to build an inventory of Adobe Reader installed on computers in a domain?
This would allow specific targeting of Adobe Reader updates to the computers who needed it, say from version 9 to version 10.

Hi,
In case you have any deployment system like GPO in place, you can use a simple startup script to check for the presence of the following registry key(s):
i. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0
ii. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0
A system with any version of Reader 9 installed would only have Registry (ii) whereas a system with Adobe Reader X would have registry (i) present.
You can collect the information based on the same.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Ankit

  • Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
    YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

  • Is the installation file for adobe reader, the same for all the versions of windows ? Is it ?

    Hello,
    I want to know if the installation file for adobe reader is it the same for all the windows ?
    It is because I have to do an automatic installation for XP, seven and windows 8...
    It is also the same between 32bits and 64bits ?
    Thanks.
    Best regards

    It may be worth mentioning two things.
    1. Adobe provide extensive information on Enterprise Deployment of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
    2. You may well need a redistribution license to do this, if you are installing on behalf of anyone (accepting EULA for them), pushing, or hosting etc.

  • What is the latest downloadable version for Adobe Reader 11.0.08 or 11.0.09?

    What is the latest downloadable version for Adobe Reader 11.0.08 or 11.0.09?  I saw the 11.0.09 download last Thursday 9/18/14 but no longer seeing it today 9/22/14, just the 11.0.08.  Also, after I have downloaded and expanded AdbeRdr11008_en_US.exe, I am getting AcroReader.msi that is posted date on 9/23/2012.  I need to customize the MSI file using the Adobe Customization Wizard XI for our corporate environment.  Can you direct me on where to download the latest MSI file for Adobe Reader?  Thanks.

    The latest MSI made available by Adobe is AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi
    You can get the 11.0.09 EXE from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.09/en_US/AdbeRdr11009_en_US.exe

  • Silent install for adobe reader version 110003

    silent install for adobe reader version 110003

    Hi,
    I don't know your more details about how you pretend to deploy your Adobe Reader but I did this to my current deployment and many people on the company are happy with this:
    1- I extracted the contents from the Adobe Reader installer.
    2- I modified the MSI using Customization Wizard to hide some menus (Maybe you can skip this step if you don't need to customize it)
    3- On SCCM 2012 I created a Script deployment with a CMD file which contains the following command for silent install. (You don't need to have an SCCM infrastructure to deploy it but it will help)
    start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroRead.mst" PATCH="%~dp0AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp;%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp"
    or
    msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroRead.mst" PATCH="%~dp0AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp;%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp"
    - On my case I used %~dp0 because I'm installing from a server caching files on client machines but if you pretend to test and install it locally avoid using: %~dp0 and put your absolut path. Like C:\Temp or your MSI and source files location.
    - Start /wait - Will execute your MSI installer file and then once is finished will proceed with the next command if any.
    - Transforms- will force the MSI to apply the custom settings I did on Customization Wizard)
    - PATCH- command will proceed to install the patches you may have at the moment 11.0.1, 11.0.2, etc...
    Hope this will help you !

  • Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

    Hello,
    I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
    "Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
    And I did not find my answer.  That is why I'm posting this as a question.
    So, with that out of the way....
    I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed.  What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible.  I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
    As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version.  However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
    That is why I'm here asking.  Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download?  If so, where is it on the web site?
    This does lead me to a follow up question.  Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player?  If so, where can I download them from as well.
    Thanks in advance,

    Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
    The URL to access the page is
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
    From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
      -- Windows XP 64 Bit
      -- Windows Vista 64 Bit
      -- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
      -- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
    Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
    Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
    In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file.  Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
    According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
    So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009?  IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

  • Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

    All,
    I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's.  Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google.  The browser displayed the following error:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.  Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required.  Please exit and try again."
    So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
    The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat.  The installation must have changed the default viewer.  So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat.  I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..."  This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
    I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0.  But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
    Does Acrobat function independently of Reader?  Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly?  Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
    Thanks,
    Neal

    They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

  • Will automatic update select 'Adobe Reader X' after support ends for 'Adobe Reader 9.5.5' on 6/23?

      After the recent update for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ the end of support for this version is June 23, 2013. This is installed on an edition of ‘Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2’. System type: 32-bit Operating System.

      Probably is the best way to go if end of support for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ is June 23, 2013. Does automatic update select the latest version of ‘Adobe Reader X’?

  • How to determine full version of latest adobe reader

    Hi,
    How can I determine full version of latest Adobe Reader without installing Adobe Reader?
    I mean I need to know 4th digit of version, it is the most important for me.
    Adobe Shockwave and Flashdownload pages provide such informations via JSON from
    HTTP request.
    Reader download website shows me only 3 digits 10.1.3 and I need to read 10.1.3.23
    to automate my security checker.
    Thanks in advance for reply.

    No it's not true. latest version is 10.1.3.23.
    Latest digit is probably security patch.
    The latest digit is the build number.  This may be different for different modules; you may find DLLs that have a higher build number than AcroRd32.exe
    If there is a new security release, it will be identified by the first three digits.

  • Version XI of Adobe Reader! HELP

    My name is Scarlett with Dr. Indar M Jhamb’s office. I have version XI of Adobe Reader and it is not compatible with my EHR system. I was told by customer support with my EHR that we need to uninstall XI and install 9.5. Please help.

    I only have one problem.  I can no longer print a pdf from within adobe
    reader. My computer completely freezes up and I have to hold down the power
    button to restart which no one likes to do. I am running Adobe Reader
    11.0.09, Windows 7 with an HP Deskjet 6980. I have tried all the
    troubleshooting you have suggested in the forum: I can open Adobe Reader by
    itself so I have unchecked the Enable Protected Mode, I have checked for
    updates, I have run the "Repair Adobe installation" from within the program
    itself. I have even uninstalled 11.0.09 and installed version 10 and I
    still have the same problem.  I uninstalled 10 and reinstalled 11.0.09, so
    that's where I am at this point.
