== Installing according to host attributes ==

== Have the Courage to Walk Alone ==
  
−
The package below simplifies installing different versions according to host attributes.
+
The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.  
  
−
For instance, Adobe Reader X is only supported on Windows XP and above, so for Windows 2000 Adobe Reader 9 must be installed.<br/>
+
[[http://goodvillenews.com/Have-the-Courage-to-Walk-Alone-JKIF7y.html Have the Courage to Walk Alone]]
−
The package below highly simplifies this, since you only apply one package to all hosts, which determines the version to install.

"It is said that we become the stories that we tell among ourselves. This might have been true before we became salespersons. For a few decades now, I think we have become numb to the stories that we tell among ourselves. So stories have become shorter and crisper to the length of a tweet. We are so committed to telling a story to the point that finally what remains is a dimensionless point.

You can download version 10 from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/. The Tier 1, 2, 3 and 4 .msp packages which are available are for specific language versions. The Tier 1 version is for English, French, German & Japanese.

Adobe Customization Wizard 10 is available [http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/10.x/10.0.0/misc/CustWiz1000_en_US.exe here].  You can also deploy it without a transform but you won't be able to customize the installer.  There are command line switches available in section 3 of the [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Enterprise_Administration.pdf Adobe Enterprise Administration Guide].

== How to Think Like an Ecosystem ==
  
−
Relevant info about [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/888/cpsid_88814.html updating/patching Adobe Reader 10 at adobe.com]. Note that the update MSP file for Reader 10 includes all previous patches for that 10.x version, so one for 10.0.3 will update a 10.0.0 installation. Installing it this way means that an MST file need only be created for each 10.x version.
+
Gradually its dawned on me: We humans are creatures of the mind. We perceive the world according to our core, often unacknowledged, assumptions. They determine, literally, what we can see and what we cannot. Nothing so wrong with that, perhapsexcept that, in this crucial do-or-die moment, were stuck with a mental map that is life-destroying.

For centuries experts held that every language is unique. Then one day in 1956, a young linguistics professor gave a legendary presentation at the Symposium on Information Theory at MIT. He argued that every intelligible sentence conforms not only to the rules of its particular language but to a universal grammar that encompasses all languages.

=== Updater ===

Since version 10.1 updates are performed using a Windows Service called '''AdobeARMservice''' (or "Adobe Acrobat Update Service"). According to the [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Updater.pdf Acrobat-Reader Updater configuration guide] you should add the following directive to the msiexec installer command above

−
 
+
−
    DISABLE_ARM_SERVICE_INSTALL="1"

−
to disable updates altogether.

The remnants of some older versions of Adobe Reader can cause 9.3 to fail to install the plugin correctly, causing a "The Adobe Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser..." error. The solution that worked for me was to get WPKG to delete the "Program Files/Adobe' directory after uninstalling version 8. To do this, add the following XML snippet after the uninstall of 8.1.2.
+
−
<source lang="xml">
+
−
  <!-- Delete the adobe folder -->
+
−
    <install cmd='%COMSPEC% /C del /Q "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe" ' >
+
−
        <exit code="0" />
+
−
    </install>
+
−
</source>
+

Note that you should not do this if you use other adobe software. In that case, you may need to delete the other Adobe Reader folders in your Adobe folder/s

Beware that some MSI packages are broken; i.e. AdbeRdr812_it_IT.msi (size 21664 KB, timestamp 12/01/2008 7.07.00) fails even when double clicked interactively by an Administrator.

The install command installs version 8.1.2 and then Security Update 1 for version 8.1.2 at the same time.

Revision as of 04:51, 5 August 2012

Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer, similar to Foxit_Reader.

Downloading the Software

Adobe offers 2 general flavors of the install file (both free to use). The standard one for normal users and an enterprise package for system administrators. There are NO third party (or Adobe) add-ons if you download the enterprise version from their distribution center.

Which ever installation file you use, please note that you need permission in order to redistribute Adobe Reader, even inside a corporate network. You can find information about obtaining this permission here: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/distribution.html

Normal Version

All the files are downloaded from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/. The English version is in the directory "en_US", or "enu" for older versions.

Enterprise Version

You can apply for a license here: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/rdr_distribution1.html?readstep

Don't worry this doesn't cost anything and only takes a few minutes to fill out the form and receive your agreement certificate.

Once you have the distribution agreement, you can download the enterprise distribution version from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

This package generally comes as an exe file but you can open it with a using an archival utility like 7-zip to pull out any files you need.

Usually you'll only need the following files:

  • AcroRead.msi (equivalent to the AdbeRdrxxxx_en_US.msi)
  • Data1.cab

If you get stuck, Adobe provides loads of help and resources for enterprise deployment.

Deployment Manual for Adobe Reader 9 at Adobe (PDF)

Customization Wizard

The .mst file is made with Adobe Customization Wizard. You will need to follow Adobe's instructions and recreate the MST each time you apply a new patch. More info at Adobe.com

Versions

For Acrobat 9 update to latest minor version, you need to install all previous Quarterly released versions. Please refer to Adobe's guide for detailed explanation.

For Acrobat 10 update to latest minor version, you need to only install the initial release, the latest Quarterly, and any out-of-cycles release after the latest Quarterly

Starting A Slow Story Movement

"It is said that we become the stories that we tell among ourselves. This might have been true before we became salespersons. For a few decades now, I think we have become numb to the stories that we tell among ourselves. So stories have become shorter and crisper to the length of a tweet. We are so committed to telling a story to the point that finally what remains is a dimensionless point.

How to Think Like an Ecosystem

Gradually its dawned on me: We humans are creatures of the mind. We perceive the world according to our core, often unacknowledged, assumptions. They determine, literally, what we can see and what we cannot.
