But am trying to help you to understand the reality of your situation. Please understand, I am not trying to be harsh here. I am not aware of any concurrent license model for Acrobat within hosted type environments (I wish there was). Please note: If using CITRIX, anyone that has access to launch the application, whether or not they use it (if they can use it is all that counts) they must have a license for it. 2) Use CITRIX and publish a desktop 3) use VMWare and virtualize the machine instance on a server 4) Buy everyone laptops. 1) Use CITRIX (or a similar tool) and publish the app. My suggestion would be that if you wish to 'roam' people's desktops in this manner that you can try one of several options. But, it's value to the business makes it worthwhile to suffer through the deployment pains. Out of the 1000+ applications we have packaged for our corporate deployment infrastructure I can honestly say that Acrobat is the most difficult product in the kit. We may be able to find an ultimate solution to you problem.īetween fonts, print, spooler, app, GUI, browser, desktop and user integration along with the several thousand registry settings (90% of them in HKCU), the product is neither small nor trivial in its integration. If you would like to dig into the details on how Acrobat integrates into Windows please let me know. In understanding, as much any anyone can outside of the Acrobat Engineering team, the tight-coupling of how Reader and especially Acrobat integrate into a system's workstation it's no wonder that roaming profiles are being problematic. We do not use roaming profiles and I have yet to find a company that has completely successful in implementing them.

Having a 26,000 seat corporate install base of Reader with at 6,000 seat install base of Acrobat and not found the product to be any more or less buggy than any other in the industry, given it's shear size, scope and capabilities. I am currently needing to install it on quite a few PCs and having to go through this process every time is very time consuming. I'm just pleased not many people need to edit pdfs and for the rest FoxIT Reader and PDFCreater will surfice.
UPDATE FOR ADOBE ACROBAT 9 PRO SOFTWARE
Working in IT the adobe reader has always been one of the more problematic software packages but version 9 is worse still and has caused years of headaches. In cases where it doesn't I have to uninstall and go right back to the beginning. Then it is hit and miss whether the program will automatically just close after accepting the licence agreement or work correctly. This then installs 9.2 and I have to restart and repeat the process for 9.3.2 and restart again. I can however run it from the program files/common files/adobe/updater6 directory

It downloads this and tries to update, at which point a command window appears and then I get a message saying the program has stopped working correctly and must be closed.

If I log in locally and then go to Help > Update, the updater tells me a new version of the updater is available and needs to be installed.
UPDATE FOR ADOBE ACROBAT 9 PRO UPDATE
If I download the 9.3.2 update from the Adobe website and try to install, it tells me that the program to be updated is not installed and refuses to update the program. Luckily a fix is now available so at least I can use this expensive piece of software again without having to give everyone local accounts for their PCs. It then took over a year for them to manage to fix this. It turned out it was due to them not testing the program with roaming profiles/folder redirection which a lot of people use.

UPDATE FOR ADOBE ACROBAT 9 PRO PC
I was originally told by Adobe that this was not a bug and it was my system even though it happened on every PC I tried to install on. I have to install version 9.0 which will then fail to open with a C++ error message saying pure virtual function call (I can't remember exactly).
UPDATE FOR ADOBE ACROBAT 9 PRO FULL
a full 9.3.2 download without having to install 9.0 and then update twice to get the program to work correctly? Even with 9.3.2 it is bugy and unreliable. Is there a downloadable installer which contains the latest updates where the program will install and work properly yet? i.e. I always have real difficulty getting this program to work correctly.
