Adobe X install in Terminal Server environment

[Guest]

In relation to this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/slow-display-performance-terminal-server.html

I need to know if these registry keys are different for Adobe X – Also need to know if they should be applied to HKLM instead of HKCU so the policy applies to all users on the box and if it requires a reboot.

• deactivate "2D Graphic acceleration" HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVDisplay - bUse2DGPUf=dword:0
• deactivate “Smooth images" HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals - bAntialiasImages=dword:0
• deactivate “Smooth line art" HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals - bAntialiasGraphics=dword:0
• set "Smooth Text" to None (optional: some customers have reported acceptable performance without setting Smooth Text to None)

  • HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals - bAntialiasText=dword:0

  • HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals - iAntialiasThreshold=dword:0
  • HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals - benableDDR=dword:0

Those entries are all in the HKCU hive and I don't believe they can be called via the HKLM hive for Adobe Reader.  However,  the other Forum members may have other information.

Sabian is correct about the hives. Use HKCU per the instructions. However, I'd start with more recent info provided for Citrix before using the referenced kb: Citrix Deployments — Enterprise Administration Guide.

Thanks for the help. Why does it need to go in the HKCU hive versus HKLM? I thought HKCU only applies to the user making the change and HKLM applies to anyone logging in

For the prefs to work in HKLM, they would have to be implemented by engineers that way. Perhaps they have been, but the documented tuning instructions originated with engineering and I would follow those.
