Hi all.

 

We are looking into the device feature lockdown to disable The Adobe Acrobat Trial.

To do so we are using PLIST Buddy do add/modify the PLIST.

 

The PLIST Location is /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Reader.plist as mentioned in https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Macintosh/index.html.

The PLIST we deploy do look like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key></key>
<dict/>
<key>DC</key>
<dict>
<key>FeatureLockdown</key>
<dict>
<key>bAllowUserToChangeMsgPrefs</key>
<false/>
<key>bDontShowMsgWhenViewingDoc</key>
<false/>
<key>bEnableGentech</key>
<false/>
<key>bEnablePersistentButton</key>
<false/>
<key>bShowMsgAtLaunch</key>
<false/>
<key>bUseTSAsSigningTime</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
