Citrix Deployment

[davidm61213828]

Hello

At present, we have 15 staff out of 100 that are licenced for Acrobat Pro DC which is activated by them signing into the application.  The remainder of staff all use Acrobat Reader DC for which no sign in is required.  This is all in a standard traditional 'fat client' environment.

We are now in the process of setting up a Citrix virtual desktop environment.  My question is how do we deploy both Acrobat Pro DC and Acrobat Reader DC into that environment (on the same servers) so that our 15 licenced users can sign in on any server and use Pro DC and our remaining users can user Reader DC?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Acrobat and Reader can be installed in parallel, and users assigned licenses as appropriate. The users who are licensed to use Acrobat will sign in with their e-mail address and can then run the application, whereas those who don't have a license will not be able to.

You can find details on the deployment options here: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/VirtualizationGuide/citrix.html

Despite the employee reply, for the current 64-bit version, Adobe have removed the ability to install Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader on the same computer. It's all or nothing.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

To clarify, are you saying that it is not possible at all to have some users run Reader DC and some run Pro DC on the same citrix servers?  There is no solution to this?

Thanks

The same executable will be used for both Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Professional, depending on the kind of license the user has. If the user has no license, it will behave like Reader, if they have an Acrobat license, they will get access to all the tools available under an Acrobat Pro license, all from the same application.
