The 7z sfx should be directed to extract (cache) the installation files to %programdata%\Adobe and not deleted.

This will help with user rights access issues / self repair of MSI installations / svcpack compatibility

I'll take a look at that tomorrow, so I'll leave the transforms for now. I'll do some tests about removing the PDF tab also.

You are doing a fine job and I applaud you for stepping up and taking charge. Hoping all these request for more don't have you ready to run and hide. I would hate using the full version again.

Thank you :thumbup

hi shark,

correct me if i'm wrong: %programdata% only exists in Vista/W7? It doesn't exist in XP.

perhaps %PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe or %COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Adobe ?

some people still use XP? and yes, you're right, it is a modern environment variable
my alternate suggestion would be %appdata%\Adobe

I thought about that and I don't really see the point to change the 7zip SFX. I don't use UAC and I really don't see any reason for anyone to use it. So I don't think I'll change it. If someone wants, then it's very easy to change that. I'll change the PDF tab though. Also I might need some help with the batch files I've made. I'll post tomorrow a new version for testing.

Could someone point me to where I can find the info on how to use this new lite 'exe' to make a service pack addon. I used the old method that Shark had, which I have used before, but it did not silently install. Was I supposed to unzip and use the "msi"? Maybe it can be added to first post.
thanks in advance,
Eddie

Or maybe the silent switch/'s so that I can use the nlite addon maker. maybe /sall /rs

the "Create Adobe PDF Using Acrobat.com" is still present if the Reader is opened "embedded" with the web browser viewing pane...
it would be nice if that "icon" were removed not only when opening the Reader "normally", but also while opened "inside" my web browser...

If you take a look a couple of pages before, you'll see that I ask if anybody knows the registry keys in order to remove that. For the time being it's only disabled in the main program and not inside a browser. If you, or anybody else provide the registry keys that have to be changed, then I will be more than happy to disable it.

For the time being, import this reg key to disable it:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cToolbars\cFile\cExternalButtons]
"a0"="Print"
"a1"="SaveFileAs"
"a2"="endDialogGroup"

This can be incorporated with the tutorial itself.

That button is not present in the AR itself. It's only present in the embedded AR in the browser. Those registry keys are already in the tutorial and already being used. I hope you mean the same I mean, because it's 4am here and I need some sleep.

That's what I thought as well. It seems that there's another key for embedded AR toolbars.

In the tutorial, disabling the button uses "cInternalButtons" key which is for standalone reader itself.

However, when opening PDF via browsers, it has another key created -> "cExternalButtons".

p/s: Good morning, XhmikosR!

About the removal of the PDF tab. Has anyone noticed any problems with that? During my tests, everything is fine. Tomorrow I'll post a new version for testing with the above change.

i've also not noticed any problems with the removal of the PDF tab, everything seems fine for me as well...

(oh, and apologies for not looking up the reg-key...)

edit: ps - i hope it's not mentioned above [it's a LONG thread!], but, um, has it been mentioned about perhaps having the "Check for updates" DISABLED by default?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral
bCheckForUpdatesAtStartup
REG_DWORD
0

Does anyone use Form filling?

IMO form filling is a priorty, it should stay.

EDIT1: in todays world of terabyte drives etc etc, size does not matter so much.
The Lite'ening of this product has more to do with RogerDB's sentiments posted HERE.
There are few people with actual concerns of hdd space.
MANY people are concerned about background processes running without any way of stopping them.
Please keep this in mind when trying to make the product as small (in bytes) as possible.

EDIT2: I have read the comments on the internet by small minds comparing 20 MB to 25 MB etc etc
Ignore these people. This Lite product isnt for them. They have no idea whats running in the background, and never will. Those with real knowledge seek this product for the reasons posted above in EDIT1

Amen

I wonder why I haven't already added this. Thanks for pointing out. In an hour I'll have uploaded a new version.

EDIT: Updated Corporate and Lite versions in the first post. Also updated the tutorial. If you find any problems, please report them here.

been doing some digging, maybe you want to include these as well (up to you do decide)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FormsPrefs]
"bHideDocumentMessageBar"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals]
"bDisplayedSplash"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral]
"bCheckForUpdatesAtStartup"=dword:00000000
"iMaxMRUCnt"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cThumbnails\cInternalLocation]
"iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cModelTree\cInternalLocation]
"iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cBookmarks\cInternalLocation]
"iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cArticles\cInternalLocation]
"iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cOCGs\cInternalLocation]
"iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cFileAttachment\cInternalLocation]
"iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002

The top few keys are self explanatory.

The bottom bunch is to turn off the navigation panels (some PDFs have bookmarks, attachments, etc.)

[Manually, the whole Navigation Panel itself can be turned off by pressing F4 or via menu. However, it will come back on the next run. The trick is to individually turn off each panels, then the Navigation Panel will be OFF as well]
