Custom Install - Registry Settings

[vtyler84]

Is there a registry setting that I can set for OCR?

Looking to make the default be Searchable Image Exact

Also is there a registry setting to ucheck the Open Cross links in same window under Preferences - Documents?

Thanks,

Tyler

I don't know about the OCR settings, but here's how you figure it out:

• Use regshot to capture your reg settings.
• Change the product OCR UI and close it.
• Take another reg shot and compare with the original to see what's changed.

Thanks thats exactly what I did when my brain started working.

Made the changes and exported the registry settings before and after and then compared the two documents with powershell! Worked like a charm!

Good to hear. BTW, I've switched tools from regshot to a bat file that invokes WinMerge. However, along the way I did try diff in powershell. Didn't get good results. Do you care to share your script/cmd line?

Thanks,

Sure why not here is the steps:

Install Acrobat and don't make any changes.

Export the Registry settings from HKCU\Software\Adob\Adobe Acrobat\11.0 call the file beforechanges

Make changes in Acrobat

Export the Registry settings again from the same location call the fall after changes

Then run this in powershell

Compare-Object $(Get-Content c:\beforechanges.reg) $(Get-Content c:\afterchanges.reg)

Then the output will look like this:

Input Object     SideIndicator

iFormat=0001      =>

iFormat=0002     <=

Side indicator is which file it's in => is the right one in the compare object and <= is the left one.

So we can see that the iFormat key was changed from 2 to 1 after we made some changes.

Yes I know that's not the right regkey for the iFormat just an example.
