Streamlining deployments During an Acrobat non-silent install, the installer which guide the user through the process and allow for licensing as well as the customization of certain features. Since admins typically use silent installs for mass deployments, Adobe provides methods for pre-deployment configuration. These tasks include: • Licensing. • Disabling registration. • Granting activation exceptions for offline users. • Selecting a language. • Disabling the startup splash page.

• Setting a default PDF viewer when Acrobat or Reader is already present. • Accepting the EULA on behalf of your organization. By performing these tasks ahead of time, you can simplify the end user experience when the product first launches. Configuration methodologies Configuration methods and tools include the following: • A Customization Wizard for Windows and Macintosh provides a GUI way to modify the installer. • Windows properties allow command line control.

• Registry and plist preferences enable pre and post deployment configuration. • Support for APTEE for Windows (11.0 and later) and Macintosh (10.0 and later) provides for serialization, suppressing registration, and accepting the EULA. Not all methodologies are created equal.

For example, the Windows Wizard sets properties, but there are many Adobe properties that must be set via the command line. While numerous properties map to registry and plist settings, the 500+ documented registry/plist preferences provide more granular options. Configuration methodologies Feature & Language Yes No Yes Yes Yes Splash page No No Yes No No PDF Viewer Yes No Yes Yes No EULA Yes Yes Yes (browser only) Yes ** Yes Licensing Yes Yes No Yes Yes Registration Yes Yes No No *** Yes Activation Yes (except for imaged OS) Yes No Yes Yes • ** For 11.x products, suppressing the EULA on Mac can only be accomplished via the Wizard or the PRTK tool. Setting the plist preference directly does not work. • *** While there is a property for suppressing registration for 11.x and earlier, DC installs require using the Wizard or the PRTK tool.

Language selection For 11.0, all Acrobat installers are multi-language installers. Earlier product versions provided language-specific installers. Language configuration can be complex in some environments. For example, you may need to know the following: • The relevant locale and language codes for your serial number.

• What languages to install on the machine (one, several, or all). • Whether or not the default language is that of the OS.

• Whether or not the user should be allowed to reset the language. • Whether the language variant maps to a differently named base MST. • If you need additional font packs which are available as separate installers. At it’s simplest, set SUPPRESSLANGSELECTION (introduced in 11.0) to set the default language to match that of the OS. For additional details, see the language topics in as well as preferences such as bUseMUI in the. MSIs and Abcpy.ini Installations that use MSI files require that the Abcpy.ini file contain the serial number information for the application. For example, during an administrative installation point deployment, the MSI file reads Abcpy.ini to get the needed information.

If you have not used the Wizard, set this up manually as follows: • Open Abcpy.ini in a text editor. • Find ISX_SERIALNUMBER. • Add the serial number. • Save and close the file. • Verify abcpy.ini is located in the same directory as the MSI prior to installation. EXEs and Setup.ini (bootstrapper) Deployments that use EXE files require that the Setup.ini file contain the serial number information for the application. For example, during a bootstrapper Setup.exe deployment, the EXE file reads Setup.ini to get the needed information.

You can set this up manually as follows: • Open Setup.ini in a text editor. • Find ISX_SERIALNUMBER. • Add the serial number. • Save and close the file.

• Verify Setup.exe located in the same directory as the EXE prior to installation. EULA acceptance Most admins accept the EULA on behalf of their organization so that end users do not have to perform that manual task. To do so, do one of the following: • Use the. If you are imaging an OS, run APTEE first to provide the activation exception. • Run the EULA_ACCEPT property during installation. • Browser only: Set EULAAcceptedForBrowser. Note that registry preferences have limited options, especially for Acrobat or for machine-level configuration.

Therefore, the recommendations are as follows: • Reader (per user): Set the registry preference EULA. • Reader (all users): Use the Wizard or the EULA_ACCEPT property. • Acrobat (per user): Can only accept the EULA for the browser plugin via EULAAcceptedForBrowser. • Acrobat (all users): Use the Wizard or the EULA_ACCEPT property.

To do so, install the product without a serial number prior to creating your image. If you do not pass a serial number via one of the supported methods, a trial version of the product is automatically installed. For information about migrating a trial to a licensed version, see. The workflow is generally as follows. • This method can only be used with volume licenses. • Acrobat need not be installed to run this command.

• The machine on which this command is run must be online. • It is highly recommended to suppress registration. Steps: • Connect to the internet. • Download the latest version of the Adobe Application Manager from • Open an elevated prompt (run as administrator). • Generate a prov.xml file on any machine connected to the internet using the following APTEE tool command line with the following options. Named user imaged OS deployments The January, 2017 release supports named user deployments (ETLA & VIP subscriptions) in the following environments: • Citrix Xenapp and Xendesktop 7.6 and above • VMware Horizon 6.2 and above Support for named user deployment allows admins to deploy Acrobat on multiple VMs without any serial key. On first use, Acrobat requires that users sign in with an Adobe ID that has an Acrobat DC entitlement.

This methodology has the advantage of allowing users to log into any VM and still have their license and data available. License-related data is saved in user’s /appdata/Roaming folder which is synced to the VM on login.
