Command Line installation switches. I need to find command line swich installation options for Adobe Reader XI. I have tried the customization wizard, but I am not sure how to proceed with the MST file that is. The last command will open a new Adobe Reader window.

In Extension Manager CC, you can use the command line to perform various operations you would normally perform in the Extension Manager workspace.

TOPICS × Command Line Start and Stop Deploying AEM Starting Adobe Experience Manager from the Command Line The start script is available under the. Default JVM options Note that some run modes.
  2. No, there are no command line parameters for Acrobat for conversion. The only command line parameters that exist are the same for Reader or for Acrobat to open a file or to print a file. They are essentially undocumented and they are unsupported but you can see them here. You will have to look at other PDF applications for this.

You can manage extensions from the command line, using certain syntax, commands, and attributes. The command line syntax in Extension Manager CC has changed remarkably. For command line syntax used in Extension Manager CS6 or earlier, refer to this article.

Default viewer¶

Note

Windows 10 environments require using DISM and GPO configuration.

When Reader and Acrobat are installed on the same machine, you can choose which viewer is the default for PDF files. In some cases, this choice is critical as Reader has a built in Protected Mode which is more secure. For security details, see the Application Security Guide.

To select a default viewer, choose one of the following:

  • Installer will decide which product will be the default: The installer decides which application should open PDFs based on the product to install and the values of IW_DEFAULT_VERB and LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP. In general, the install leans towards letting the more secure Reader be the default viewer unless a property or user choice overrides that decision.
  • Make Reader the default PDF viewer: For Reader MSI modification only. Sets IW_DEFAULT_VERB to Read.
  • Make Acrobat the default PDF viewer: For Acrobat MSI modification only. Sets IW_DEFAULT_VERB to Open.

Note

IW_DEFAULT_VERB is written to the MST file and doesn’t exist in the installer tables by default. It can also be used on the command line or in the Setup.ini file.

Choosing a default PDF viewer

Property interactions¶

IW_DEFAULT_VERB interacts with the Adobe property LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP. NO allows the new install to own opening PDFs. LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP is often used for silent installs where the usershould not be asked to select a default PDF viewer.

  • YES prevents the new installation from taking over PDF ownership if PDF is already owned. However, if the PDF mimetype is currently un-owned, take ownership.
  • If this property is unset or not present, the current install assumes ownership.

Locking PDF ownership¶

By default, users can select the default handler through the UI. However,administrators can lock the feature by setting[HKLMSOFTWAREPoliciesAdobe<product><version>FeatureLockDownbDisablePDFHandlerSwitching to 1 so that end users cannot change the default handler.
