Mass deploy adobe reader with cusomized settings

I would like to mass deploy Adobe reader to both Mac and PC computers with customized settings.  Ideally, to have the program update in the background so the end user does not have to do anything.  Is there a way to do this on both platforms?

There is no unified platform agnostic deployment technology from Adobe that handles both deployment and updates to Acrobat.  You may want to look for third party deployment technology to do this for you.

    Stefan,
    Possibly dumb question but are your installers built for the appropriate architecture (32-, 64-bit)? Adobe is pretty picky about that with CC.

  • Trouble deploying Adobe Reader 11

    I keep getting a failure with the following error when trying to deploy Adobe Reader 11.  The program for advertisement "RHP2022B has failed because download of the content "RHP00069" - "install reader" has failed. The download
    failed because the content downloaded to the client does not match the content specified in the content source. Possible causes: The content on the distribution point has been manually modified, or a local administrator on the computer has modified the content
    in the computer's hash. Solution: Refresh the content on the distribution point and retry the download.
    The program never starts and goes right to failure.  I have refreshed the distribution point and have even removed and copied it back.  in my package i have the files acroread.msi, acroread.mst, setup.ini, and data1.cab.  Not sure if even
    need the last two files.  My command line for the program is msiexec.exe /i "AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="acroread.mst" running as admin.  Basically all the transform file does is turn off automatic updates and removes the previous
    version of reader.

    Have you tried creating new Package ?
    this issue normally resolved by refreshing the package to the DP, Hash mismatch should be resolved by Refresh of the content.

    Is there a .msi file that I can edit rather than have to create on using the Customization Wizrd XI?
    I know this is off subject, but what do I edit in the flash player .msi file not to install mcafee?

    You can download the Adobe Reader MSI installers from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/
    The Flash Player MSI files (like the Adobe Reader MSI) do not contains any bundled 3rd-party software.

  • I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015.  When I attempt to convert a file from PDF or to PDF, I get the message "An error occured while trying to access the service.  What do I need to do to access the service paid for?

    I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015.  When I attempt to convert a file either to PDF or from PDF, I get the error message, "An error occurred while trying to access the service".  What do I need to do to get access to the service I have paid for?

    Hi DeaconTomColorado,
    Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
    Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.

  • Unable to open Adobe Reader with ability to changes PDF to word

    adobe reader with ability to change from pdf to word stopped working I purchased a new year and it does not work?

    John,
    Glad to hear everything is working. I'm surprised, too, though, because these subscriptions are on auto-renewal when you subscribe (unless you cancel before the subscription runs out).
    So....I just double-checked your account.  You had a CreatePDF basic subscription which expired on August 28 (I'm guessing that one wasn't on auto-renewal).
    In any case, I think all is well now!
    Best,
    Sara

  • Looking for expert who can highlight 3d model node in adobe reader with external program

    I need to select and highlight 3d model node in adobe reader with my program.from outside of adobe reader. it seems there is no out-of-box API in stndard SDK. I want to outsource this task fully or partly. If you have the solution or able to provide consultant in this area, please send message to me.

    You would indeed need a plug-in to actually select and highlight but you can easily call attention to a part by temporarily changing the color via JavaScript which you can access from external applications.
    I can provide more specific advice if you explain the exact user interaction you're looking for. Is this a desktop application? Is the PDF in a browser? etc.

  • Deploying Adobe Reader & Flash Updates

    I am currently looking for a  way to deploy non-Microsoft based product updates across our  organization. Some of the products I would like to be able to deploy  updates for include: Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and Adobe Shockwave.
    Presently, between our main office and our various branch offices we have:
    5 Servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
    1 Server running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise
    1 Server running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard
    20-30 Workstations running Windows Xp Professional SP3
    20-30 Workstations running Windows 7 Professional
    Sadly, our organization does not current have a license for SCCM, so I  most likely will be deploying updates via our GPOs or scripts.Also, our  users do not have admin rights or anything, so lately I've been having  to manually authorize each of their updates  when the product (Adobe for example) checks for updates.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or pointers?
    Thanks.

  • Deploying Adobe Reader 11.0.4 via SCCM 2012

    Hello members,
    I am looking to deploy the latest version of Reader to our workstations both during OS build and also on existing machines.
    I have successfully created a custom install using the Adobe Customization Wizard I’m leaning towards the use of the .exe / bootstrapper
    Double clicking the exe works just fine on my lab computers however getting this to work over a SCCM (2012) deployment is proving troublesome
    As SCCM admins would know the SCCM client downloads the content to C:\windows\ccmcache\randomfoldername
    SCCM then runs the command specified in the deployment you created, I appear to be having issues with the exe not knowing to look in the same directory for the MST MSP and setup.ini file,Being a randomly generating folder name this can’t be specified in the deployment unless I change the ‘Installation start in’ option
    Sometimes the install is ignoring my custom install settings (disable updates and online features etc)
    My setup.ini contains:
    [Startup]
    RequireMSI=3.0
    CmdLine=/sall /rs
    [Product]
    msi=AcroRead.msi
    PATCH=AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp
    CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="CompanyName.mst"
    [MSI Updater]
    Path=http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.0/misc/WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2 -x86.exe
    Am I missing something simple ?

    You have done all the things right. I don't see any issues in your deployment. You say that sometimes your custom transforms are getting applied to some of the machines but not always.
    Which makes me believe that that the Reader 11.0.04 installers are working as expected. I guess, It's the deployment and the distribution of packages which is causing this intermittent issue.
    WHat i understand is that, while applying the setup.exe, it's somehow ignoring to apply the custom mst by not reading the setup.ini file
    My suggestions,
    1. Cleanup your existing package and deployment related to Reader 11.0.04
    2. Recreate package and deplyment related to Reader 11.0.04 using some other folder
    3. If you are not cleaning up your existing package and deployments. Ensure you have the transform file and setup.ini file in the same folder as the package folder (where it contains setup.exe and other necessary files)
    and then update distribution points
    4. Make the source directory shared
