OK, after the recent discussion concerning eBS and Acrobat and it’s general lack of compatibility with anything that’s not already outdated, I am working on downgrading everyone from Acrobat Pro X to Acrobat Pro 9.4.5.
In the process I’ve created a new Administrative install from the Acrobat 9 Pro media which was sold by the Computer Store and is the volume license media I used prior to X using
msiexec /a AcroPro.msi
After that I installed the dozen patches to get it up to 9.4.5 using
msiexec /a acropro.msi /p patch1.msp, etc., until it was done. Everything seems to install fine, except that the key doesn’t work. I have always used
1118-1006-2829-9110-3041-8472 and it’s worked fine for dozens of installs, except now. If I deploy with a GPO it just fails right away. If I try to manually install with the patched MSI and the generated transform from the Customization
Wizard, it rejects it. It also rejects any of the other keys from the Adobe licensing site.
Any ideas?
Also, is there any timeline on when Acrobat X will be useable? Something changed with eBS a couple months back and now all forms take hours to complete because it’s pegging the CPU at 100%. The reason I ask is that Adobe FINALLY support
deployable updates with Acrobat X which makes for timely installs rather than having to patch an admin install and then redeploy.
