One engineer suggests this under the Product line in the ini file:
[Product]
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroPro.mst" /qb-!
I'm waiting on additional info, but perhaps you might try that out.

This was the first attempt I tried on my own before ever opening this thread, it seemed logical to place it here but the behavior was the exact same as without...

Try and post back. In the meantime, I'll ping some sharper pencils.
I will try this but these aren't valid Windows Installer switches (at least the ones that are there by default). To me this looks like commands that are passed to the exe...

As I guessed, ignored, no change in install behavior...

Hello,
I recently installed Acrobat 2017 Pro Desktop using a volume license key bought from Adobe. After opening the first PDF after logging in, it will close after a few seconds and pull up the EULA forcing an Accept. It will no longer prompt the rest of the user session, until log out and back in.
I'm using Citrix PVS 7.15 farm with Citrix Profile Management and redirected folders. I'm happy to put in the folder to sync with profiles but not sure which ones are needed. I've already synced AppData\Roaming\Adobe and AppData\Local\Adobe but no luck.
Also will there be an issue when I reboot these machines from a single image or is this all stored in the users' profiles? Thanks.
Suppress the EULA when you create the image: Common Deployment Options — Enterprise Administration Guide

An engineer says the the setup.exe reads the Startup section. When it invokes the MSI, the Product section is read. I'm still waiting on more info (because the answers generate more questions), but here's some info:
I'll make sure the docs are updated when you have a satisfactory answer. Thanks for your patience.
My current CmdLine looks like this:
CmdLine=/spb /rs /smur
Please review and let me know what needs to be removed, since I don't have /sAll (I have the Customization Wizard setup for "Unattended, only a progress bar")...

Did you try this?:
[Product]
CmdLine=/qb-!
As mentioned above, that's supposed to provide what you need.

It was right there, after I typed "Unattended, only a progress bar", it sounds a lot like "Silent, no progress bar", or "/spb" ;-)
Simply remove "/spb" from the [Startup] CmdLine and add "/QB-!" to the [Product] CmdLine!
Thank you for the help, much appreciated!

Thanks for the question and persistence. I know what it's like to have work blocked by something trivial. Docs updates will likely happen tomorrow.
Hi,
I am trying to change following settings via registry or a configuration file across all workstations in our organization.
Tracker
Under the sentence that reads "Automatically Check for New Comments and Form Data," scroll right to select Never.
Under the sentence that reads "Suspect the Check for New Comments and Form Data," scroll left and select After 30 days of inactivity.
How can I change this setting other than Adobe application GUI interface?
Thank you kindly for help.
Almost all UI items are associated with a registry/plist preference. Not all preferences are documented. I checked the Preference Reference and don't see the setting there (I'm guessing it might be here: Shared Review and Forms Data Collection )
Simply take a before and after registry snapshot and see what's changed after you set that setting. Then propagate the preferences via GPO, script, or by using the Wizard prior to deployment. Method:
It should be easy to figure out what's changed. Then, of course, you can go back to the UI, change the setting, and then re-check the registry just to verify you have it right.
Hi everyone.
The question looks simple but I am a little confused about Read2017 update process. I want to deploy last version of this product to enterpise envinroment. According to the documentation beside the fact that MSP file is incremental patch installer I shouldn't install AcroRdr20171700830051_MUI.exe and then all msp file one by one. It says "All updates, including out of cycle patches, are cumulative to the base release. Chaining updates is never required. For all products and tracks, install the base release and the last update."
Does it mean that I should install AcroRdr20171700830051_MUI.exe + last MSP file? Or it would be incorrect?
[Question moved to the Enterprise Deployment (Acrobat and Reader) forum from the Reader forum. -Mod.]
You can install the base and the latest MSP. Often, people slipstream the latest MSP to the original MSI to make a new MSI with the updates, but you only have to do that if you can't deploy the MSP patches.
Hello,
I am deploying on Adobe Acrobat reader for an enterprise. I have used the Adobe Customization Wizard to generate a transform file (.MST file) and have been able to streamline the installation wizard. I have checked the "Disable Upsell" option inside the installation Wizard:
However, it seems when I launch the application, in the bottom right corner there is still a message that offering a "Free Trail" of Acrobat Adobe reader. We do not want this to display to our user community. We would like to turn this off. Is there any way to turn off this feature?
Thanks,
Zach

go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat Elements"
and delete these three files below
ContextMenu.dll
ContextMenu64.dll
ContextMenuShim64.dll
that will remove Adobe Acrobat DC context menu
In case anyone has trouble deleting them like I did, you may need to restart the computer and navigate to that folder via command prompt and remove it from there.
I found merely opening file explorer causes it to use that file, so I couldn't delete it as long as file explorer was open.
Is it possible to disable the "Email" button in Acrobat Reader DC through registry settings or otherwise? I am trying to lock down our instances at a machine level so documents cannot be emailed. I have disabled other features but I cannot find any documentation on this other than disabling WebMail.
Thank you,
Marc
I have created a custom package with the Customization Wizard and have the Disable registration box already ticked but yet every time I still it on a new machine and open it for the first time the application still prompts for registration.
Hi.
Trying to resolve a package problem.
Acrobat Pro 2017 was deployed to many in our enterprise.
MST was created using Acrobat Customization Wizard DC with valid serial number.
The option Grant offline exception was not selected when authoring the MST.
Users are getting the "Sign In Required" when you launch the Pro 2017, but no one has an ID so it cannot be used.
I corrected the MST and we no longer get the "Sign In Required" prompt on new installs.
Is there some cmd i can run that will remove this prompt from existing installs?
