First off thanks in advance for all you help. My question is regarding one particular setting on multiple versions of adobe acrobat or viewer. Its teh "Display PDF in Browser" check box aka "BrowserIntegration" registry (DWORD) key. I am crating an sms job to deploy this particular verstion and in the job im writing the "BrowserIntegration" registry key and giving it a valyue of 0. The problem is thal although the box is unchecked under "edit > preferences > options" the settings wont take unless i open the options box and click ok. Is there a section in teh regsitry where one can set global settings for any version of adobe (reader or acrobat)? Any idea why having the registry key set to 0 will not apply the settings until i open the dialog box and click ok. Keep in mind that the "Display pdf in browser" is unchecked. All i am having to do is open the options box within adobe and click ok. Sorry for the long post. We're talking 2500+ users. Thanks in advance.
