Reader X Customization Wizard

Trying to build my first Reader package for deployment, not getting anywhere.
It needs to load a MSI package but the download link I got was for an EXE package..
Is there an MSI package available to start with?
Thanks...

You need to extract the contents of the EXE to get the MSI and other cab files. Try the following command line:
AdbeRdr1000_en_US.exe -sfx_ne -sfx_o"C:\AdobeReader10.0" /sAll

Comment supprimer epaisseur de trait - Adobe Reader 11 - Customization Wizard

Bonjour,
Je souhaite supprimer "épaisseur de trait" pour tous les documents par défaut (une nouvelle installation et tous les PDF ont la case "épaisseur de trait" OFF )
J'ai essayé avec 'Adobe Customization Wizard 11' mais je ne sais pas ou est l'option (toujours coché par défaut d'ailleurs)
Est ce que quelq'un sait comment "supprimer / mettre à FAUX" ce fameux épaisseur de trait ?
Ou le mettre à off pour tous les documents par le registre ou DirectEditor (Customization)
Merci par avance

Bonjour,
Ca se règle dans : menu Edition* : Préférences : Affichage : Rendu : Optimiser les traits fins (à décocher).
* Dans le menu Adobe Reader (ou dans le menu Acrobat) sur Mac OS

Issues with setting "Maked Reader the default PDF viewer" with Adobe Customization Wizard XI

I am using the Adobe Customization Wizard XI. I have set the following options in the Adobe Customization Wizard.
Personalization Options
Enabled the checkbox for Suppress display of End User License Agreement (EULA)
Installation Options
Selected the radio button for Make Reader the default PDF viewer
Run Installation: selected radio button Silently(No Interface)
Security
Enhanced Security Settings - Clicked drop down and set value to Disable
Online Services and Features
Checked Disable product updates
Checkd In Adobe Reader, disable Help > Purchase Adobe Acrobat
Checked Disable Product Improvement Program
Checked Disable Viewing of PDF with Ads for Adobe PDF
Checked Disable all Adobe online services based workflows and entry points.
I have tried to deploy the MSI with MST via GPO and Command Line with no luck. Every time i deploy via below methods, the same result occurs, all of the options are set correctly except the "Make Reader the default PDF viewer". I know how to manually set this option via Windows or Adobe interfaces but i am looking to roll this out to the masses and would not want a bunch of service desk calls because a user clicks on an Adobe PDF file and it is not opening in Adobe Reader.
GPO
Create New Package Use AcroRead.msi
Choose Advanced
Deployment Options - Click Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management.
Modifications - Select Transform file located in the folder of MSI
Command Line.
Tried these options to try and apply "Make Reader the default PDF viewer"
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst"
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst" /qn
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst" IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read /qn
Anyone know how to make this setting work with the Transform file, i sure would appreciate assistance on this issue.

Instead of saving as a PDF thru Work do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF and it will be saved the first time with the Preview icon.

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.
Regards,
Parvez

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.
Regards,
William

Adobe Customization Wizard 9 and acrobat reader

Im trying to customise the acrobat reader with the Customization Wizard 9 and even if set some option like disable the check for update even after deploying the msi the option still there i also try to disable the EULA when you first start the program neither ..... still apear the first time i start acrobat reader
Thanks

As you are installing Adobe Reader 9 over Acrobat 8 then you need not worry about checking those greyed out options.
When you will install Adobe Reader 9, the Reder setup will not uninstall any previous Acrobat 8 version on it own.
So, you can go ahead and install Reader without worrying about these options. The Reader setup will only prompt during installation that whether to make Reader or Acrobat 8 the default viewer of PDF files.
These options have only been provided for the situation when, say, Acrobat 9 is being installed over Acrobat 8, then it gives the user an option to choose whether to remove previous version of Acrobat or not. Because newer Acrobat versions remove previous Acrobat versions before installation, which is not possible with the Reader setup.
That said, please note that it is not recommended to use Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, Adobe doesn't recommend this.

Customization Wizard X - Uninstall Acrobat (Reader) X?

The Adobe Customization Wizard X has the option when generating msts for 'Removing Previous Versions of Acrobat' and 'Removing previous versions of Reader'. Is there any way of having it remove version 10 installations as well?
For example, when generating the mst for Acrobat X, I would like the installation to remove Acrobat Reader X, if it were to exist on the machine, and vice versa.
I know I can likely accomplish this by other means (I am installing via GPO, and could set the software to uninstall when a machine falls out of scope), but in our instance, I think this option would be a much cleaner solution.

Reader installer with MST does not interfere with the Acrobat installations (any previous versions). Whereas, Acrobat installer with MST may interfere with the both Acrobat and Reader installations (any previous versions)
i.e. If we have both Acrobat and Reader installed on the machine, and we are creating Latest Reader's MST vias Cust Wizard. It can not uninstall any previous versions of Acrobat. The installer for (Latest version's) Full Reader has ability to remove any previous versions of Reader. i.e. We do not need to specifically go and check the "Remove Previous versions of Reader"
However, if we have Acrobat and Reader installed on the machine, and we are creating Latest Acrobat version's MST vias Cust Wizard. It can uninstall any previous versions of both Acrobat and Reader.
So, the Reader option is ruled out and we are left with only Acrobat installation. Can the Acrobat X MST's remove the Reader X (same version) installations ? The answer is "No" it can not remove the same version (i.e. Reader X) but can remove any previous versions of Reader.
Hope, it helps.

Adobe Reader 8.2 not working on Adobe Customization Wizard 8

I tried creating a transform file from Adobe Reader 8.2 using Adobe Customization Wizard 8. However, the tool won't generate the transform and is looking for Setup.ini.
I looked again at the installer that I got and it is now a single msi file unlike the previous releases which is a compressed Setup.exe that I used to decompress and get the msi, cab file and the setup.ini.
Anyone know how to get the compressed Setup.exe version of Adobe Reader 8.2 or how will it work with the Adobe Customization Wizard 8?

Thanks for the reply.
Since I have previous deployment of the application, I just edited the old Setup.ini that I have. here's what I edited:
[Product]
msi=AdbeRdr820_en_US.msi --> this is the part that that customization wizard is looking for and should be the same name as the msi installer.
We are using Marimba for deployment, The Customization Wizard helps a lot in generating the transforms that I need for Adobe Reader.

Reader X with Customization Wizard

Reader X Installation is transformed by an .mst. By opening for the first time a Window appears with "Select a Language".
In the Customization Wizard I have select "German" as the Installation Language.
Why is not taken ?

Thank you for your answer.
In the Customization Wizard I need the MSI to transform with an mst.
How I can transform an .exe for deploying in a Domain ?

Need to run Adobe Customization Wizard every time for each new reader update?

Hi there,
This should be a simple question...
Do I need to run Adobe Customization Wizard every time on each new incremental reader update, or just once per major revision (e.g. Reader 9, Reader X)?

This question hasn't been answered because it would be better asked in the enterprise deployment forum. The Wiz is an ent deployment tool and only is used for initial deployments in most cases. You use it to customize the installer and the product when it's first installed. You could use it for any install, but that is a less common scenario.
Usually, you customize the first version you install and then just apply updates as they are released.
HTH.

Remove previous versions of Reader greyed out in Adobe Customization Wizard 9

Hi everyone. I'm trying to make an SMS pushable custom MSI with the Adobe Customization Wizard 9, to roll out Acrobat Reader 9 to all my PCs. The big reason i wanted to use the ACW9 was so I could force it to uninstall all the old versions of Reader on my computers, which i have a lot of different versions of 7 and 8 out there. When I go to the screen in ACW9, the option to remove previous versions of Reader is greyed out and unchecked, and the rmeove previous versions of Acrobat is greyed out and checked (which is what i dont want to do). Any ideas how to get this to work right? I have both older versions of Reader and Acrobat Pro on my computer i'm using to build it, so it isn't that.

It doesn't seem Adobe really cares about supporting IT personnel. Thanks for a tool that doesn't work properly and you provide no support for.
What I've found is that it will remove previous Acrobat reader versions! So it's not harmless when that option is checked and greyed out.

Adobe Customization Wizard XI with Reader XI-not all options are available

I'm using the Adobe Reader XI redistributable (yes, I got the license and special download, etc.)
I've followed the Enterprise administration kit which makes me extract and build an AIP. All is well
What I notice is that the Customization Wizard has some options grayed out.
For example, the DOCS for the customization wizard say that I can fill out username, organization, etc.
But those are grayed out.
Also, I cannot select the Installation Options -> Remove previous version of Acrobat (it's grayed out). I can only select the Remove all versions of Reader.
Any idea why this is?
I point it to the AIP reader .MSI File when i built the customization kit.

You should post this on the Enterprise Deployment forum but the username, organization, etc... are for Acrobat only. The ability to uninstall Acrobat is for Acrobat only. It would be a bad thing for Reader to uninstall a more capable product like Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro no matter what the version.

Customization Wizard 9 and Reader 9.2: not saving trusted hosts

I', using "Adobe Customization Wizard 9" and "Adobe Reader 9.2". As part of the Enhanced Security Settings , I want to define two trusted hosts. ie: http://www.whatever.com . The problem is that the Wizard is not saving the trusted hosts that I enter. I generate the MST file and perform a test installation with the .msi calling the .mst file. All the other customizations I have made using the Customization Wizard 9 tool are there EXCEPT the settings I designated for the trusted hosts. The entries are blank.
Is this a known bug with the Customization Wizard 9 or am I doing something wrong?
TIA !

I came across your post because I am looking for an answer to the same corruption. Installation completes, but installed configuration does not match my settings. I have similar but separate packages hosted on 2 different servers from which I pushed installation to 2 different LANs. All evidence so far is that all installations are corrupt, all of which defeats the purpose of using the Adobe Customization Wizard.
I suspect I will have to revisit all systems.
I have no answers to offer, but will monitor this site in case you do get good advice to fix.

Reader Security popup after X to XI upgrade - have tried customization wizard, reg edits, everything

Title: Adobe Reader Security
Body: Trusted certificates from your previous version of Adobe Reader were found.
Would you like to import them?
Any certificates that are not imported in this step will not be available in this version of Adobe Reader.
Buttons: [Import] [Use Default]
I've read through at least a dozen posts on many sites about this and no one has a real resolution. Let me tell you what I've tried. Each attempt was a clean upgrade from X to XI.
1 - First I tried the Customization Wizard, which did everything I want except get rid of this popup.
2 - Then again I went back in the Wizard and set the Directory Servers (C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Security\directories.acrodata) and Trusted Identities (C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Security\addressbook.acrodata) to copies of my own files on my own computer that did not get the post-install popup.
3 - I tried the same as #2, but with copies of my files from the C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Security\ folder (rather than version 11.
4 - I tried in the Wizard to add keys to HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\Security\cDigSig\cAdobeDownload for bAskBeforInstalling and bLoadSettingsFromURL both to 0.
5 - I tried on the cliet PC to change HKEY_USERS\clientusername\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Security\cPPKHandler\bCustomPrefsCreated to 0 prior to installation.
All of these still resulted in prompts to import the old certificates. I'm out of ideas.

I am dealing with the same problem. I recently inherited ownership of Acrobat at my firm so I'm not as familiar with it, but it appears that what we need to do is automatically copy c:\users\[userID]\appdata\roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\security\*.acrodata to c:\users\[userID]\appdata\roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\security.
I did not see a way to do this using the customization wizard so that it happens automatically for all users on each workstation when Acrobat 11 is installed, nor did I see a checkbox of some sort to the effect of "Automatically import trusted certificates from 10.0" which would be incredibly helpful.
It appears that the wizard will allow me to copy files from a specific known user profile on a machine but that's obviously not much use for a wide rollout.
Am I missing something obvious? What is the simplest way to accomplish this? Is there a Registry setting that will handle this?
Thank in advance.

Adobe Customization Wizard X with Reader 10.1.3

Hi all,
First time trying to use the Adobe Customization Wizard X and i wanted to install version 10.1.3 but everytime i use the wizard it always sets it to version 10.1.0.
any ideas?
thanks

Hi!
Same here. Im using wizard X to create a deployable msi of Adobe Reader 10.1.3 but its not working. Everytime i open the msi the wizard transforms it into a 10.1.0 package.
I tryed with 10.1.2 and 10.1.3. It always results in a 10.1.0 installation.
Update: After extracting the setup.exe the resulting msi is definatly a 10.1.0. How could that be? So the wizard is not the problem.
I hate it. It takes me a whole day to read annyoing tutorials of how to make a adobe reader deployment work. I´m sorry Nikhil but your answer is not helpful. Please tell us what is exactly to do?
p.s. i dont understand why there is no msi file+wizard+tutorial in your download area? I was searching about 4 hours in different sources until i finally understood that i have to download the .exe from your hidden ftp, then run it with -nos_ne parameters to get msi, stored somewhere stupid in c:\programData\adobe\setup\blablablabla, download wizard, configure the msi getting a mst, put this and that on a share, set grouppolicy and and and and and.... ******* which admin has time for stuff like that? HELLO?! Its only an adobe reader deployment not a spaceshuttle! Im tired now and have to go to rehab for 1 week. Thank you.
