PDF icon changed after deploying Reader 9.4.0 though Group Policy

I extracted the .msi from the Reader 9.4.0 .exe, and deployed the software through group policy. Everthing works fine except now all .pdf icons show as a different Adobe icon, as opposed to the usual white icon with the red cursive "A" and the little red "pdf" box along the top left. However, if manually install the program using the .msi, the icon issue does not happen. There is nothing in the custimization Wizard for this, and I am hesitant to use Orca to try and change the .msi. The file association in windows is correct, just the icon has changed. Please help

I did the same as you.
// Open the field to allow user entries
NumericField1.access = "open";
// Allow override, means you will not get an error message when the calculated value is changed
NumericField1.calculate.override = "disabled";
NumericField1.value.float.value = "0";
Restore original state of the field.
NumericField1.access = "readOnly"
NumericField1.calculate.override = "error"
NumericField1.rawValue = null
NumericField1.execCalculate()
But you're right, the restore does not work.
I tested execEvent("calculate") and execCalculate() with no avail.
Very odd!

    on the 32 bit machines I was able to apply this hotfix

    Is there a hotfix for 64 bit?  If not, what is the work around?

  • Deploying Flash player with Active Directory Group Policy

    I manage hundreds of computers at several different locations
    and have the nightmare of updating Flash Player everytime a new
    version comes out. The file I download from Adobe's site is an .exe
    and does not contain a .msi file for Active directpry deployment.
    How can I use group policy in Active Directory to deploy this
    software to all my computers without me having to individually
    touch each machine?

  • Is your PDF icon missing after 9.1.0 update

    My desktop icon for Acrobat Pro 9 turned into a generic icon after the latest update. Even reconnecting the PDF extension with the application didn't work. After searching a long time for help, I found it in this forum. (CT wrote about his Acrobat 8 version and the same problem resulting from an update. He gave the solution he used that worked for him.) I have the same OS and decided to give this solution a try. It worked for me, too!  His answer may benefit others after this latest update for Acrobat 9.
    "What I did was opened up one of my pdf files, selected "Help" from the top menu  bar, and from the pull-down menu I clicked on "Repair Acrobat Installation.After it 'did its thing' I was prompted to restart the PC (which I did) and when it finished booting up, ALL the pdf icons were restored. I have  Windows XP and Acrobat 8 Professional (which I purchased) and Adobe Reader -  which came with the PC.I am pretty sure that the 'Repair Installation'  option is available in both."

    I was having the same problem with PDF files.
    I tried all the suggestions.
    Nothing worked correct in my case.
    Finally I found a hint somewhere on internet and that solved my problem.
    I opened the Diplay properties and changed the ICON SIZE (for all files) to LARGE.
    Click APPLY
    The PDF Icon was restored.
    Again I set back the ICON SIZE to previous size (SMALL)
    PDF Icon was  not affected (It remained correct)
    This information is for all the friends suffering like me.
    O Yes.  Have you installed "TweakUI (PowerToy)".
    I think the PDF Icon disappeared somehow because of it.
    But I am not sure.

  • Icons change after startup

    After starting up the icons on my desktop, for example a Acrobat Professional .pdf, just looks great but then changes just before finishing startup into a 'normal' icon with just some text as icon.
    Does anyone know how icons can be viewed as defined by the program (such as Adobe)?

    Sorry, didn't mean to confuse you.
    After the login window, the mac starts up and then shows the desktop. The .pdf, docx and xlsx icons on this desktop (so I saved them there once) are first shown as application icons (kind of nice icon with colors). Then during the startup of the Login Items (in my case Mail, iCal and Activity Monitor) the icons change to a regular graphic design which looks like ugly text-icons.
    (I think that on the startup of the Login Items the mac is not finished its regular startup so I don't know if these login items have something to do with it. Guess not.)

  • Illustrator desktop icons change after trying Inkscape?

    A couple of days ago, just out of curiosity, I tried out Inkscape. Of course, I was unimpressed, trashed it, and removed XQuartz.
    Afterwards, I found that all of my Illustrator desktop icons had changed to odd square generic document icons with the "To place or open this file in other applications..." text in the preview. Doing a "save as copy" from the file didn't change this. Creating a new Illustrator file and saving created a normal preview, but it was still displayed in that same kind of square icon.
    Otherwise, Illustrator works fine, no problems I can see -- it's just that the desktop icons for Illustrator files aren't standard Illustrator file icons anymore. A minor nitpicky annoyance, granted, but I'd be interested in knowing how I can fix this.
    I'm running Illustrator CS6 on a late 2013 MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.5.
    Thanks in advance,

    Just tried it a moment ago after seeing your reply. Didn't seem to work. In fact, as I recall, that was the first thing I did the other night.
    The files were still opening into Illustrator OK, but not displaying standard .ai document icons, so associations weren't really the problem, from the looks of it. Seems as if something else somewhere has jerked around the icons for .ai documents.

  • Icons changing when downloading reader, why?

  • Deploying Creative Cloud for Teams via Group Policy

    Good afternoon, we are trying to deploy our Creative Cloud for Teams products.  Our ideal situation would be where we are able to deploy the Creative Cloud Software (e.g. including Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc) using Group Policy, then assign the respective user licenses using the Management Console.  This would send out the email to the applicable user for them to create and Adobe ID, and use the software that has been installed.  However, we are able to install the software using Group Policy Deployment using the msi created using the Creative Cloud Packager, but any user is able to use the software on the PC, not just the person who has been assigned the licence via the console email.  Is anyone else successfully deploying in this way?
    Kind regards

  • Desktop (and other icons) change after Skype updat...

    When I updated Skype to version 7.5 yesterday, some of my desktop and taskbar (also Start Menu) icons immediately disappeared, only to be replaced with standard Windows icons. This involved mostly Microsoft and Adobe programs, including Outlook, Word, Excel, Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, but also Google Earth and QuickTime Player.
    I carried out a Icon cache rebuild, but this did not restore the original icons, resulting instead in standard .exe icons or blank (i.e. white) icons. When I tried to change the icon for these programs, I got messages similar to this one (for Adobe Reader):
    Windows cannot find file %SystemRoot%\Installer{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AC0F074E4100}\SC_Reader.ico.
    Since then I've tried several system restores, and while these have always restored my icons, Skype then no longer works. I've also uninstalled Skype (which was a battle in itself!) and reinstalled the latest version, but the icon problem has returned. The generic icons DO open the programs without problems, but I cannot easily distinguish between the various Microsoft Office applications and Adobe programs.
    As things currently stand, I can have either a working Skype or my desktop (taskbar etc.) icons, but not both. There must be some way around this. I am sure that Windows Installer is in some way involved, but can't undertand how updating or deleting Skype could affect it.

    The issue is still related to the Windows installer.   If you keep Windows up-to-date it should resolve any Windows installer issues with updates that came out after Aug 2014 (unless this a new Windows update issue).  A Windows update at that time create a similar issue due to upgrading the Windows Installer then resolved them in later patches.   The only way to notice the issue was to install any programs that utilized the Windows installer (like Skype).  Some people uninstalled the update but it was a temporary fix (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2918614).  So either the issue you are having is related to that Windows update or possibly a newer one.
    You can try this in case it helps but it's generally for normal shortcuts.  
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html
    If that doesn't help the only way to repair registered shortcuts automatically is to perform a repair install of the applications that are affected (via add/remove programs or programs and features in the control panel).  This will restore the individual package to icon association that broke.  Again these advertised shortcuts are tied to the Windows installer and registry.  When you create a shortcut to the exe of a program (like msword.exe) it won't have this type of problem and will still display the normal shortcut even if you don't perform a repair of the application.  If you still want to repair the issue a repair install would be best.
    The latest version for download from Skype is still 7.5.x.102
    Skype 7.5 (exe version)

  • PDF version changes after deleting a page and "Save"

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro  11.0.04. I have a PDf in version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x). I add 1 or 2 pages at the beginning and/or the end using the "Insert" - "Empty page" option. When I now choose "save", everything goes well and the version of the pdf remains the same.
    However, sometimes it occurs that I have to delete pages certain pages. I select the thumbnails of the page, click right and choose "delete pages". My pdf is now still in version 1.4. I choose "file" and "Save". Now my pdf version has been automatically changed to version 1.6 (Adobe 7.x). The same thing happens when I use "File" - "Save as". I can't seem to find the setting that changes this PDF-version.
    I know I can use "File" - "Save as optimized". However I always get an error (on fonts or transparancy objects) when trying to save as version 1.4.
    The software that processes my PDF afterwards, requires a very strict pdf version (and settings). Therefor it's important that the pdf settings don't change.
    Does anyone has a solution for this problem? Is this a settings in Acrobat Pro? Is there a work around for this problem?

    Thanks for your reply.
    You are right with "save as optimized" is the way to go, however I always get error messages using this function. When I save as optimized, Acrobat will first save the pdf (and thus convert it to version 1.6). After that Acrobat will start converting the pdf (flattening transparant objects, etc.) back to version 1.4. I mostly get an error on the transparant objects.
    My version is in dutch but the error should be something like "an error was encountered while flattening transparent objects"
    I don't really understand why these objects have to be flattened again as the pdf I started working with was already in version 1.4.

  • Music icon changed after time machine restore

    I recently did a Time Machine restore and everything went well, except now my audio icon files are white instead of black like they were before I did the restore.
    Here is what they look like now:
    but before they were black with the grey music symbol. Does anyone know if this is a setting that changes this?
    Thanks.

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

  • Icons change after downloading itunes

    once itunes is finished downloading and loads on my computer it changes all my other icons to the itunes logo. wondering how i can restore these icons to original format.

    Hiya Katrina! I might have accidentally made some progress on this one yesterday.
    Every time I've seen it reported and I've tried to do some work on it, it has only affected one user account on the PC.
    So ... it might be related to a damaged icon cache for the affected user account. (There's one of those for each different user account on the PC. This is what I accidentally learned yesterday while trying to research a fix for a slightly different problem.)
    If that's what is going on, rebuilding the icon cache might get folks past it:
    http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/how-to-rebuild-the-icon-cache-in-windows-vista /
    ... Trouble is that that's all educated(?) guesswork/speculation, and the procedure looks a bit hairy. It's the sort of thing where I'd definitely be setting a System Restore Point for the system prior to giving it a go.
