If you still want to enable the ability to convert XPS files to PDFs, create a registry key (Windows) as mentioned below.
Solution: Create a feature-specific registry key on Windows
-
Quit Acrobat application if it's already running.
-
Open the registry editor - go to Run (Windows menu + R), type regedit.exe in the Open field and click OK.
-
In the registry editor, based on your installed version of the product, go the version-specific location listed below, and create the key FeatureState at the location; the key may not be present by default.
For Acrobat (Continuous):
- Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\(Wow6432Node)\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureState
For Acrobat (Classic - Acrobat 2017):
- Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\(Wow6432Node)\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\2017\FeatureState
For Acrobat (Classic - Acrobat 2015):
- Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\(Wow6432Node)\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\2015\FeatureState
-
Under FeatureState, create a key of type DWORD and name it BlockXPSParsing. Change its value to 0 (zero).
הערה:When the value of BlockXPSParsing is:
- 0: Conversion of XPS to PDF is enabled in Acrobat
- 1: Conversion of XPS to PDF is disabled in Acrobat
-
Close the registry editor.
