Question

Hiding Menu Items - Reader XI

I have used the Customization Wizard for XI and created an MST that turns off all of the "Online Services", plus a HideMenu.js and registry key entries to hide several menu items.

There are 3 menu items that I have been unable to discover how to hide:

1. The "Sign, add text or send a document for signature" button on the tools menu.

2. The "Sign" item at the far right of the toolbar.

3. The "Get Documents Signed..." File menu item.

They all seem to open the "Sign" menu bar with the "Work with Certificates" menu. All  items under 'Work with Certificates" are grayed out.

I have tried several entries in the HideMenu.js that came up in a Google searches, but not luck.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can only disable the items via reg prefs as documented in the Wizard Guide and the Pref Ref: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/.

The reg pref do not disable the EchoSign items under the file menu, splash page, and perhaps elsewhere. This will probably change in upcoming releases.

With respect to the Tools Panels on the right, muck around with creating custom toolbars and see if you get what you want (if you haven't already).

brogers - That's not quite true.  I played with the menu items and it appears that the Adobe Acrobat Engineering rather than apply the proper menu item names as is documented in the Acrobat SDK basically used object names instead.

MHunter86 - Try this JavaScript in a file:

app.hideMenuItem("SPAObject 46"); //This is the Get Signed... menu item

Other menu items using this scheme:

app.hideMenuItem("SPAObject 47"); //This is Create PDF Online

app.hideMenuItem("SPAObject 51");  //This is Share Files using SendNow Online

Sabian Zildjian - Thank you for the help. In my case, I used "SPAOject 23" to hide the "Get Documents Signed..." item under File.

I am still looking to hide the:

1. "Sign" item at the far right of the toolbar.

2. "Sign, add text or send a document for signature" toolbar button.
