Find System File or Registry Key that shows Adobe Reader version number

I am deploying Adobe Reader throguh SCCM 2012. I currently have Adobe Reader setup as a package where there are two programs: The Adober Reader XI MSI and the 11.0.6 msp update file. I have it setup to where on new deployments the Reader XI MSI installs first then installs the msp update file. I now am trying to convert this to an application and I have one issue. When you setup an application, you have to setup a clause to indicate the presence of the application. I have the clause setup already for Adobe Reader 11.0 MSI to install but I cannot find any file or registry key that would list the version number to point the application to know if that version of Adobe Reader has been installed on the computer or not. If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

  • How do I open a file that needs  adobe reader on my iPad

    How do I open a file on my iPad that needs adobe reader.

    Safari and the Mail app support PDFs - tap on them and they should open. If you want to store them on the iPad then there are a number of apps that support them and which you can sync them to or use 'open in' on Safari or Mail to copy them to e.g. free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader

  • Which is the correct Registry Path to Get Adobe Acrobat Version?

    Hi All
    Originally, this post was put  on [Acrobat Windows] forum, i am reposting it here, since i didnt get any answer.
    I am currently using Adobe Acrobat 9.1.3 Pro in my Win XP - SP3 machine.
    I would like to know how can i get the 'CORRECT' version of the installed Adobe Acrobat from the registry.
    Under windows Registry, i could find two places
    - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.App\AcrobatVersion.
    - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document\AcrobatVersion.
    Among these two, the first keys value shows as 8.0 and the latter shows as 9.0. I guess the first one is the correct place to look but it shows as 8.0.
    by the way, i have installed it on a fresh clean machine. So is it a bug from Adobe Acrobat ? or is it correct for Adobe Acrobat ( may be in some way).
    In that case can i  use 'AcroExch.Document' but will it be retained in the future versions also.
    thanks in advance

    Hi Patrick,
    We are using it to query the version of the installed Adobe Acrobat in the machine in which our application is installed. If it doesnt matches our criteria, we ask the user to have the correct version to be installed.
    We queried the OLE interface for the Acrobat Version because at a time you are suppose to have one installation of the Adobe Acrobat. And morevoer the OLE reg path is giving the 'Acrobat Version'. For AA8.X both the OLE registry keys were having the same version number i.e 8.0.
    Yes, i guessed that the reason for multiple versions under the [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\X.0\Installer] may be for some backward compatibility. Anycase, i have already gone with the HKLM...\X.0\Installer path way.
    But why is that the OLE interfaces in the registry shows two different 'Acrobat Version' for the AA9.??
    thanks and regards

  • Search Server Error - Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion

    Hello,
    I have a 5 server farm (DC, 2 WFEs, 1 SQL,1 CA w/ search) and am experiencing an issue when returning search results.  This issue just started occurring recently, and basically the search page throws a correlation id whenever used.  The error returned
    is:
    SearchServiceApplication::Execute--Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800703FA): Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703FA)
    SearchServiceApplicationProxy::Execute--Error occured: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[System.ServiceModel.ExceptionDetail]: Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703FA) (Fault Detail
    is equal to An ExceptionDetail, likely created by IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults=true, whose value is: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703FA)
    I even attempted to create an out of the box enterprise search site with OOB masterpages and I still am receiving this error.  
    I have also tried the  ‘Do not forcefully unload the registry at user logoff’ registry edit, but it did not work.
    Has anyone ran into this issue and has another solution other than the ‘Do not forcefully unload the registry at user logoff’ registry edit?
    Thanks!

    IISReset works for me (but after some time it fails again)

  • Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?

    Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
    My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

    OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
    You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full

    Does find my phone have a history that shows where your phone has been like in the last 24-72 hours?

    All you may infer is the device hasn't been turned on where it can connect to Wi-Fi.
    The phone may be jailbroken if there is no lock passcode to prevent access. However, the phone can be completely erased and restored as new. In this case you will have no ability to locate it or prevent it from being jailbroken.

  • I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file re

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
    == When I download and try to read a .pdf file and when I am asked to turn off all Firefox files and if I do, I lose them since I need to know how to save them without rebooting my computer.

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

    Hello Steve,
    I can go on and am offered the choice to download content fron the adobe site ...
    I didn't do that up to now. I tried to reinstall from the content-DVD which doesn't work
    until you uninstall the (already installed) content and reinstall it later on.
    In fact the content is missing, if you try to continue without reinstalling the contents!
    The most curious thing to me is the fact that this happens incidently ....
    It may happen on the very next start of Premiere Elements 10, it may happen
    some days later after maybe 10 restarts of the software.
    Thank you very much for your reply ...
    greeting from Dortmund (Germany)

  • Files open as a blank in Adobe Reader 9.5.4

    Files open as a blank in Adobe Reader 9.5.4MUI.  It seems that some files if created on my computer will open, but others will not if coming from elsewhere such as the internet.  My operating system is Windows 7

    Is there a reason you haven't updated to 11.0.3?

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Is there a solution for my "files in use" installation problem with Adobe Reader XI?

    I have tried repeatedly to download Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07), but I keep getting a "files in use" message that indicates my current version, Adobe Reader 8.1, is using files that need to be updated by the download's set up. The message directs me to close my Adobe Reader 8.1 and then continue, but when I receive it my Adobe Reader 8.1 is always closed. I am tempted to uninstall my Reader 8.1 and then try downloading Reader XI, but I am afraid I could be inviting even more trouble. I should mention the reason I am trying to download Reader XI is a notification I received in my computer's status box that indicates my Reader 8.1 is not working properly and suggests I download the latest version. I discovered the notification after I was unable to open a GIF file attachment. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    Thanks for your reply.
    I tried to uninstall my Adobe Reader 8.1 in safe mode, as suggested above, but received a message which indicated that Windows installer could not be accessed. That was a strange message, because I have not had problems uninstalling programs in the past, and, after receiving the message, I tried uninstalling a different program in safe mode and had no problem doing so. I am now going to try your suggestion.
    Honestly, these types of technical issues always leave me so frustrated. I do not have a high technology acumen, and because my laptop is six years old, I cannot get professional help without paying a hefty fee. Thank goodness for this forum. If the solutions suggested here do not work, I guess I will keep my laptop until my Adobe 8.1 gives out completely.
    Thanks again for your assistance. I will let you know if it works.

  • Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10 won't save pdf file as original file name

    We are currently using Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10.
    When we open and existing pdf file then make any changes (using the Fill & Sign Tab at the top right hand side) then click Save it won't save the file.  We have to re-name the file in order to save it.
    This was working ok back in January and wondered if there has been an up-date since then that has made this error occur?
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.  We have tried that but it has not made any difference.  Adobe still requires a new file name to save the file.
