Unable to customize Designer.msi from Adobe Customization Wizard

Hello Everyone,
Need help! Been trying to customize Adobe Life Cycle ES4 version 11 from Adobe Customization Wizard version 11. I come up with the following error when I open up the Designer.msi file. "Wizard cannot modify this MSI package. Please browse to a vaild Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat MSI pcakage."
Any suggestions would be helpful!
thank you

I'm inclined to think it doesn't, not just because of the message (which is pretty convincing) but because LiveCycle products are entirely different product group and practices (notwithstanding the former bundling). LiveCycle (the suite) is aimed firmly at the enterprise sector so I'd expect it to have its own enterprise deployment documentation.

Problem to create a msi using Adobe customization wizard

Hi,
I am a NATO engineer in charge for testing all kind of patches. We are creating a transformation file and pack it into an msi for a network distribution using your Adobe Customization wizard. Eventhough, the mst file is correctly created changes are not applied into the msi. Any idea why it happened?
regards,

We have a forum setup to help you with exactly those issues:

Unable to print a photo from Adobe Photoshop elements 9.

When I press print from the Photoshop print set-up window, all I get is the HP fax set-up window.
I've unplugged the printer, removed the HP printer program and reinstalled it and all I still get is the fax setup window. I've also used HP's downloadable Problem solver - to no avail.
The printer is a HP photosmart Premium C410a, All-in-one.
I use windows 7 64 bit.

Hi Apachegeorge,
I see that you're having problems when printing from Adobe. I would make sure that your printer is selected as the default printer to do that follow the steps below.
Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start button , and then, on the Start menu, clicking Devices and Printers.
Right-click the printer you want to use, and then click Set as default printer. (You'll see a check mark on the printer's icon signifying that it's now your default printer.)

Unable to import design package from O365 to SharePoint On Premises - Why ?

Hello,
Recently , I have added following site columns in "Article Page" content type in O365.
Page Content
Rollup Image
Article Date
Summary Links
Image Caption
Byline
And changed css for look and feel of left navigation menu.
After that, I have taken design package and tried to deploy on "On-Premise" plaform via design manager.
And I have received following error :
Feature definition with Id "XXX" failed validation, file ListInstances\ElementsContentType.xml'The 'AllowDeletion' attribute is not declared.
Would you please tell me - whats going wrong ? is that O365 update issue ? or something I made wrong ?
Thanks and Regards,
Dipti Chhatrapati

For trying to answer for this thread ,
To replicated this on my environment,(Download the Design Package from my O365 and restoring it on my On-Premise environment)
I found the the new attribute "AllowDeletion=true" in which package downloaded from the O365.
In Visual studio, used the "Import Reusable Package" template and in Feature
definition file " deleted the allowdeletion attribute.
It started to work on
my environment. Please try it on your environment (on prem) and let us know the difference or result.
And also , I wanted
add my bit of notes, we should not test the Office 365 Package on onprem environment as it had different signatures and lot of new features those are very specific to O365 and Cloud apps.

Customize default toolbar using Adobe Customization Wizard 9?

I'm trying to add the Select Tool, Hand Tool, and Fit Width Tool to my standard build. I've looked through the Direct Editor portion pretty extensively and didn't see anything promising. Did I miss something? What is the preferred method of deploying this kind of customization? I saw some people using JavaScript to hide options but this seems obtuse considering there is a customization tool.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

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.

IMac unable to install Edge Animate from Adobe Application Manager

I have removed the Beta version of Edge Animate, by dragging it from the applications foler into the trash, but whenever I try and install Edge Animate, I get the following error:
A beta version of this product exists on the computer. Please quit and uninstall that version before continuing; contact customer support. Cancel.

Thank you!
I actually did everything mentioned in all of the previous posts, but this was ultimately the correct answer. I used the (Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers) Edge uninstall on Preview and everything finally worked.

Unable to print job application from Adobe DC

I just filled out an entire job application in Adobe cloud (fill & sign)and it won't print.
I am afraid to try anything for fear of losing all of the info.
What do I do next???

To Print the form "Download as PDF" and choose "Download PDF to my Computer" or simply press "Print" - both of those will download the PDF to your Downloads folder:
then open the PDF in the free Adobe Reader DC and print from there Adobe Reader.

Unable to Share a PDF from Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro for Shared Review-Permissions Issue

Hi,
I get the following message while trying to initiate shared review for a document.
Please help.
Regards,
Himani

No updates recently - except possibly whatever Microsoft updates automatically (security, etc.).
What is quite strange is this specific isolated instance:
If I am in a Word document, then highlight and select (Ctrl C) a range of text, then go to Acrobat 9 Pro and try to create a PDF from that clipboard text, I get the above error. However, if I select text from another program, such as a web page, then Acrobat does not complain when I try to create a PDF from the clipboard, and everything proceeds as expected.
So that makes one think that the issue is with Word; however, I sometimes (and "sometimes" is the operative word) get the error when taking text from Excel. But sometimes not.
Is it Microsoft? But that is strange, as all this worked a few days ago - specifically on Friday 9/3. I use this feature daily,
And, as I mentioned before, trying to create a PDF from an entire Word file also does not work (create from File).

Adobe customization settings not "sticking"

Hi
We are using ProSystem's PDFlyer program. Acrobat settings does not "stick" within the program. We tested adding other toolbar elements to quick tools, and changing Acrobat Preferences in the Edit
> Preferences menu, and none of the customizations we made were still active the next time we re-opened Acrobat.
Other customizations within the PDFlyer program work just fine.
Thanks in advance!

Hello community,
it's amazing that the longstanding problem seems to stay down to the present day and neither Adobe nor admins found a solution for that. :-(
My plain intention was to enable enhanced security, preconfigure trust and lock down all settings. The best way would be to create a patched and transformed msi package of Adobe Reader 9 which can be deployed by Windows group policys. After applying the msp to the msi file I opened the msi in Adobe Customization Wizard 9 and made the desired modifications, in particular by adding a recursive folder in Privileged Locations Exempt. The test setup ran without any problems. To verify the modifications in Reader I checked it under "Edit / Preferences / Security (Enhanced)" and wondered why the exempt list still was empty.
In the Adobe "Enhanced Security and Trusted Locations" Guide there is specified where the enhanced security settings are stored in Windows Registry. At least the Privileged Locations Exempt entries should be stored in HKCU. I checked this up in registry of my test installation and found these entries in HKLM instead. So it seems that Adobe Reader would ignore these entries and it is expected that all settings are stored in HKCU indeed. But in that case the settings are only recognized if the user's interface is not locked down.
So my questions are: Did anybody managed it? How is it possible keep preconfigured settings and lock down user's interface of Enhanced Security Settings at the same time? Is it better to avoid using Customization Wizard and deploy the settings via reg files instead?
Any responses would be appreciated.

Adobe Customization Wizard: Unable to save

I have an existing .mst file for Adobe reader 11.0.03 and added it to a deployment for 11.0.04. When I try to save I get the following error: Unable to save document, MSI database Commit failed, Error Code = 1627.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Extra information: Added the customization wizard to Windows XP, Windows 7 and Server 2012 / no solution

Post your complete cmd lines.
Run verbose and look at the log.
1627 is an MSI error that should provide clues.

Adobe Customization Wizard XI: setup.ini was not found (while saving the MSI)

I have downloaded the Adobe Customization Wizard XI and the Adobe Reader XI .msi file. I am only attempting the customize three options of this application. When I try to save the .msi file I get an error "setup.ini was not found".
I have placed the .msi file in a folder on the desktop. Additionally, I have tried using 7-Zip to extract the .msi in an effort to find the setup.ini file.
Where is this file located? What is the solution?
Any help is much appreciated.

Just install Adobe Reader on a machine. Then you will get the flat files in a folder location that has the Setup.ini file. It will be something like this depending on your OS:
Windows 7 64-bit Example Location
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Setup\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AB0000000001}\

Adobe Customization Wizard X issue PDF icon and disable display in browser after installation

I have used the Adobe Customization Wizard X wizard to setup a .MTS files for the custom install. When this is installed using SCCM 2012 with command (msiexec /q /i "\\Server\Share\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\Server\Share\AcroRead.mst") this all works fine but all PDFs on the machine that gets this deployment (Windows 7 x64 or Windows XP x86) the icons for the .pdf don't show the Adobe icon they show the generic Windows icon when the program is not assigned but still work to launch Adobe reader. I have tried to unistall and reinstall but still the same resaults. If I install the .msi with no .mst the icon shows up just fine. So it has to be something with when you use the customization wizard or the .mst. I have also tried assigning .PDF to another program and the icon changes to that program and assign it back and no icon. Also if I set Display PDF in browser = Disabled this setting does not stick. I have just installed via Adobe not using SCCM via command line I get the same resaults.
I have only selected these customizations:
     Installation Options:
Silently (No interface)
Suppress reboot
     Shortcuts
No desktop Icon
       EULA
Suppress display of End User License Agreement (EULA)
     Online Features
Disable all updates
Disable Help > Purchases Adobe Acrobat
Disable Product Improvement Program
Display PDF in browser = Disabled
Disabled All Acrobat.com access

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.

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

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.
