Thanks I am pretty sure (by looking at my registry) its the DC version. Bit of a bummer this lives in HKCU and can't be put into HKLM. I guess that means modifying ntuser.dat for the default user to make it apply to all users unless you know of somewhere in HKLM it can live? The same path maybe?
Thanks again

You would have to test if it has the same effect when put into HKLM (same path). I would definitely be interested to know if Protected Mode can be disabled via HKLM.
P.S. you can make sure about the installed Reader version by checking Programs & Features in the CP. Also the install path is different (DC vs. 2015).
Hello,
It doesn't seem to work with HKLM. I will need to modify the default user hive of the registry on our default image to include this. What a pain in the backside.
I think I will also deploy from group policy preferences to be certain as well.
Thanks for your help.
Create a verbose installation log and then post the file to a shared location (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Creative Cloud Shared Folder, Adobe Send & Track, etc...)

When you are logged in as the "general user" are your Signature preferences set to use the third party signature handler (SigPlus?) that Topaz uses to sign documents?
Good afternoon steve. We log in using our AD accounts. If we have to install software we log in as the local administrator. When you ask if the Signature preferences are set to use the third part software I will say yes for that user. When the next user logs in… they have to set the same settings up…. So what I am looking for is a way that no matter who logs into the machine their settings will default to the original set up settings. I just don’t know how to make this work.
Sometimes in court a pc/laptop goes out and we have to put in the backup. We don’t know what attorney or Judge is in that day so we can’t prefill that information.
Thanks,

Sorry to hear that HKLM does not work; that would have been most convenient (and logical, come to think of it!).
One thing you could do is to file a feature request at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I will move your post to the Deployment forum; hopefully someone there can give you some advice achieving your goal using the customization wizard.
I am working to edit a pdf document but it is not working out. I was redirected to sign up a payment. I do not know what to do next. Please is there a way I can edit a pdf document without suscribing to a payment plan?.
hello, I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro on a Win7-X86 - PC and if I start the program, it appears 'IMSLib nicht gefunden, die Acrobat-Dienste funktionieren daher nicht' (IMSLib not found, the Acrobat Functions do not work), what can I do?
Hi IDA-Stephanie and cougmanjvh1,
Our Engineering Team is aware of this issue and they are working to get this issue fixed.
Normally you would do this in the Registry panel of the Adobe Customization Wizard while creating the deployment package. You copy the HKCU key on your local machine to the custom package's HKCU hive in the ACW Registry panel and make your other customizations and Save it. Then once installed when the user launches or does first use of the feature, then the feature preference is populated to the user who is logged into the session provided that the user has the permissions to write to the preferences.
I purchased a license for our organization but our IT team did not manually track the number of activation made using our key. How can I get the number of activation made using our product key?
In our enterprise environment we have noticed on multiple machines acrodist.exe (Acrobat Distiller) is randomly maxing out 1 CPU core. So on dual-core machine there is 50% utilisation, quad-core 25% utilisation, octa-core 12.5% cpu utilisation.
This is even when the end-user is not using any Acrobat or PDF related applications. Upon investigation using Process Explorer we have noticed approx. 10 minutes after first bootup, for some reason acrotray.exe calls Distiller (acrodist.exe) under the users context using the following command line:
acrodist /N /P --UseSystemFonts /Q:15
The acrodist.exe process then proceeds to run indefinitely maxing out 1 CPU core until it is manually terminated from task manager.
Using help files I know what the switch parameters /N (new instance of Distiller) and /Q:15 (quit after 15 seconds of completion) do but I cant figure out what /P --UseSystemFonts is asking Distiller to do. Anyone got any ideas? Our theory is that is getting stuck trying to process a font but no idea which one. Any help would be much appreciated.
We've tried to analyse the process threads using Process Explorer and Process Monitor but have not been able to get anything useful of what acrodist.exe is actually doing or what it's stuck on.
Confirmed this problem exists on at least 140 of our Win7 SP1 (32 and 64-bit) machines with Acrobat XI (v11), both Standard and Pro versions affected
I am using the Acrobat Customization Wizard to disable some features and customize the install for our organization. I had Acrobat DC installed on a workstation and I want to update the install with the new settings, so I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it will not disable the Document Cloud features. I have done this on several other workstations that I have already installed the out of the box software and I haven't had any issues, it is just the one workstation that I can't get it to remove that functionality.
Hello,
Is there a way to set Internet connection speed to LAN (in Edit> Preferences> Internet> Internet Options) using using Acrobat Customization Wizard DC?
Thanks!

Moving this discussion to the Enterprise Deployment (Acrobat and Reader) forum.
We've installed Acrobat Standard 11 on a clean standalone non-domain Win 8.1 PC and what we've come to notice is that the appearance of acrodist.exe almost exactly 10 mins after acrotray.exe launches seems to be normal behavior albeit it should only use 5-10% CPU for approx 5 second then terminate itself after 15 seconds (/Q:15).
However, in our Win7 domain enterprise computers acrodist appears 10 mins after acrotray and never disappears constantly throttling 1 cpu core. After some more digging we've noticed it doesn't effect ALL machines with Acrobat 11 installed, i'd estimate approx 60% seem to be affected. I believe it may be something cached into the users profiles that's causing the problem because if other users log on to these problem boxes the problem doesn't manifest, acrodist quickly appears and disappears. But before we start resetting using profiles we would like to understand whats is actually going on here with acrodist.exe and constant 1 CPU core utilisation.
