You can use the Adobe Customization wizard to further customize your Acrobat deployment. For more information, see the Adobe Customization wizard documentation (Windows).
Important: Use the Acrobat Customization wizard to load AcrobatCCTWorkflow.mst and add your customizations in this MST only. A separate MST is known to cause issues. Launch the Customization wizard for Acrobat XI and follow these steps:
Acrobat is configured to automatically ping Adobe servers to determine if there is a new patch/update available. If you want to change it for your deployment, you can do that using the Customization wizard.
To install Acrobat on windows, do the following:
Navigate to the Acrobat XI folder in the command prompt and run the following command:
Syntax example:
Setup.exe /sl "[LangCode]" /sALL /msi TRANSFORMS=”[TransformPath]”
In the command above:
2052=Chinese Simplified
1028=Chinese Traditional
1029=Czech
1030=Danish
1043=Dutch (Netherlands)
1033=English (United States)
1035=Finnish
1036=French (France)
1031=German (Germany)
1038=Hungarian
1040=Italian (Italy)
1041=Japanese
1042=Korean
1044=Norwegian (Bokmal)
1045=Polish
1046=Portuguese (Brazil)
1049=Russian
1051=Slovak
1060=Slovenian
1034=Spanish (Traditional Sort)
1053=Swedish
1055=Turkish
1058=Ukrainian
1025=English with Arabic support
1037=English with Hebrew support
6156=French (Morocco)
For example, if you pass “1033” in [LangCode], Acrobat launches in English.
You can also follow usual deployment practices for Acrobat as mentioned in Acrobat ETK.
The following example shows Acrobat Deployment through SCCM:
Make sure that following files are copied in Acrobat XI Installer Binaries folder:
Now in the same Acrobat XI installer Binaries folder, open setup.ini and add the following entry in the [Product] category:
Cmdline=TRANSFORMS=”AcrobatCCTWorkflow.mst”
See the image below:
Use it to deploy Acrobat using SCCM. Follow the usual processes for creating a package for deployment in SCCM Configuration manager. Give the path of Setup.exe in the Create Program Wizard in SCCM.
Once you have deployed Acrobat, you can uninstall it using the usual process for uninstalling msi packages. Here is the command-line syntax for uninstalling the Adobe Acrobat 11.0:
Syntax example:
msiexec.exe /x <path to Acrobat msi file> /qn
To install Acrobat on Mac OS, do the following:
Mac OS installers are .pkg type installers that provide the necessary user interface prompts to run. You can chain the above three installers into one installer (maintaining the order above).
You can use standard deployment practices on Mac OS (such as ARD) to deploy the chained package. More information is available in Acrobat ETK.
You can deploy Acrobat updates using standard deployment practices used in your organization. For more information about updates, see Patch release notes.
Currently, Adobe Acrobat purchased using the Adobe Value Incentive Plan (VIP) is not supported or certified on streaming/session virtual environments like Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop. For Acrobat subscriptions on VIP, you do not get a serial number for licensing. Users authenticate into Acrobat desktop and “activate” Acrobat with their Adobe ID. If you are looking to deploy Acrobat on such environments, purchase an Acrobat plan that provides you with a serial number.
However, you can deploy Adobe Acrobat purchased using VIP on dedicated virtual desktops (also known as VMs). It is similar to deploying on a local machine, and users can sign in with their Adobe ID to access Acrobat.
