Deploy Adobe Reader

[frontOff1217]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with the "Tools Pane", when we push a new version, the Tools Pane is newly enabled... The customer must go to Preferences/Documents/Remember current state of Tools Pane and push shift-f4.

Then I push a new version, and again the same must be done.... Annoying-

I had a solution that I found on the web... Modify the registry with the following parameter :

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.DC\shell\Open\command]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "toolbar=0&navpanes=0" "%1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.DC\shell\Read\command]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "toolbar=0&navpanes=0" "%1"

But did not work anymore... Tools Pane is back....

The only working way was to delete viewer.aapp....

I use "Acrobat Customization Wizard DC" to set my Reader DC installation. Is there a way to use this Customization Wizard to hide this Tools Pane by default???????

And When NOT can you please give me a solution to hide this with command line or registry modification?

I see a lot of post complaining about this but no viable solution was given...

thx

See if this does what you want: irightPaneState

General Preferences

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral\cTaskPanes]

"irightPaneState"=dword:00000001

"iBasicSharePaneStickyStatus"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral\cTaskPanes\cBasicCommentPane]

"bAllowMultipleExpandedPanels"=dword:00000001

Worked ! Thanks a lot for help "EntrepriseHelp"
