x-Shadow-x, using NAR or personal tweak? Looks promising!

The above is justt my preference, not a must for you at least, more options can cater for others (to make their own package). i stumbled onto these options when I was searching for ways to turn off the MRU list. AR's option only set at minimum 1, therefore it can't be totally turned off. Even Office 2007 has the option to turn it off (MRU = 0). Here's the line to remove "Edit -> Check Spelling" // [Edit - Check Spelling] app.hideMenuItem("Spelling:Spelling");

yup, the revised-updated tutorial fixed it ok, i'm gonna throw in some cosmetic tweaks... Save the codes in txt file and rename it to HideMenu.js (a javascript file). Then copy this file into %ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\JavaScripts. Note1: This javascript file can be used on pre-installed AR or added via IS. Note2: There is a slight delay for this javascript to take effect. Immediately after opening a PDF, the unneeded menu entries will show. Few seconds later, the entries will be gone. Note3: I have no idea if these tweaks can be done by editing the MSI itself. HideMenu.js //HideMenu.js // [File - Create Adobe PDF Using Acrobat.com] app.hideMenuItem("WebServices:CreatePDF"); // [File - Recently Opened Files] app.hideMenuItem("endRecentFileGroup"); app.hideMenuItem("RecentFile1"); // [Edit - Check Spelling] app.hideMenuItem("Spelling:Spelling"); // [View - Read Out Loud] app.hideMenuItem("ReadAloud"); // [Help - Online Support] app.hideMenuItem("OnlineSupport"); app.hideMenuItem("KnowledgeBase"); app.hideMenuItem("AdobeExpertSupport"); app.hideMenuItem("AccessOnline"); app.hideMenuItem("SystemInformation"); // [Help - Repair Adobe Reader Installation] app.hideMenuItem("DetectAndRepair"); // [Help - Check for Updates] app.hideMenuItem("Updates"); // [Help - Purchase Adobe Acrobat] app.hideMenuItem("Weblink:BuyAcrobat"); Credits to Aaron Parker @ http://blog.stealthpuppy.com/deployment/de...r-9-for-windows

Did you try v.29? Because using v.29 PDF tab is NOT shown here. v27 and v29, of course, doesn't show PDF tab BTW, latest updated tutorial WORKING!

MSFN-GuEsT, highly not recommended. AR itself depends on Javascript, not just opening PDF-with-Javascripts.

ok, maybe it's a bit confusing here 1) Definitely NO PDF tab 2) Your Lite b27: PDF tab not shown [expected] 3) I redid a fresh extraction. Followed the new tutorial. PDF tab is shown [not expected]. Either I missed something (i redid 3 times now) or there's missing steps in the tutorial. If it's too troublesome, nevermind then.

Hi XhmikosR, Just a feedback on the new tutorial I've tried 2x following the tutorial and the PDF shell still registered. I also tried your Lite build 27, and PDF tab not shown. Maybe you've missed something in the tutorial?

been doing some digging, maybe you want to include these as well (up to you do decide) [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FormsPrefs] "bHideDocumentMessageBar"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals] "bDisplayedSplash"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral] "bCheckForUpdatesAtStartup"=dword:00000000 "iMaxMRUCnt"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cThumbnails\cInternalLocation] "iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cModelTree\cInternalLocation] "iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cBookmarks\cInternalLocation] "iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cArticles\cInternalLocation] "iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cOCGs\cInternalLocation] "iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cDockables\cFileAttachment\cInternalLocation] "iPanelPosition"=dword:00000002 The top few keys are self explanatory. The bottom bunch is to turn off the navigation panels (some PDFs have bookmarks, attachments, etc.) [Manually, the whole Navigation Panel itself can be turned off by pressing F4 or via menu. However, it will come back on the next run. The trick is to individually turn off each panels, then the Navigation Panel will be OFF as well]

thanks to you for pointing this out

That's what I thought as well. It seems that there's another key for embedded AR toolbars. In the tutorial, disabling the button uses "cInternalButtons" key which is for standalone reader itself. However, when opening PDF via browsers, it has another key created -> "cExternalButtons". p/s: Good morning, XhmikosR!

For the time being, import this reg key to disable it: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral\cToolbars\cFile\cExternalButtons] "a0"="Print" "a1"="SaveFileAs" "a2"="endDialogGroup" This can be incorporated with the tutorial itself.

hi shark, correct me if i'm wrong: %programdata% only exists in Vista/W7? It doesn't exist in XP. perhaps %PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe or %COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Adobe ?

possibly he's on a restricted access (non-Admin rights) ...

try the Adobe Reader Full (official package) ...

To those who wanted to remove the PDF tab (unregister DLL method)... 1) split the exe into its modules: abc.sfx, config.txt, archive.7z (for 7zip SFX distribution only) 2) re-edit the config.txt 3) put this line RunProgram="regsvr32 \"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Adobe\\Acrobat\\ActiveX\\pdfshell.dll\" /u /s" after RunProgram="AcroRead.msi" 4) recompile everything back to exe: copy /b abc.sfx + config.txt + archive.7z archive.exe config.txt this will unregister pdfshell.dll in silent mode after installation of Adobe Reader. tested on my Eng Lite and Corp.

provolino, your post #82 explained the relation between AcroRd32Info.exe and PDF info tab in File Properties.

confirm the issue. it happens to all my Lite/Corporate packs because of one thing that has been removed since day 1: acrord32info.exe here's how I tested (to find out if AcroRd32Info.exe required to display the PDF info): 1) Installed any of my Lite/Corporate packs: PDF info not shown in File Properties | PDF tab. AcroRd32Info.exe not loaded (expected) 2) Removed all Lite/Corporate packs. 3) Installed Adobe Reader Full en-US (official): PDF info shown. AcroRd32Info.exe is loaded. 4) Closed File Properties. Checked the Task Manager: AcroRd32Info.exe exited. 5) Opened File Properties | PDF tab again: Info shown. AcroRd32Info.exe loaded. Packs that I tested to confirm (PDF info not shown; AcroRd32Info.exe not loaded): 1) All my v9.1 Lite & Corporate (Eng & non-Eng) 2) Official v9.1 Lite & Corporate in post #1 (Eng) [note: XhmikosR tested OK on Corporate) 3) Shark007's v9.0 Lite (Revised) [note: This updated pack has the AcroRd32Info.exe disabled and implemented subsequently on other packs] Pack that I tested to displays the PDF info (AcroRd32Info.exe loaded): 1) Official v9.1 Full (Eng) 2) Shark007's v9.0 Lite (First release) [note: From v9.0 thread, this first release did not disable AcroRd32Info.exe (solution not known yet)] My thoughts: Impact is minimal when PDF info is not shown on File Properties | PDF tab. I'd rather have the AcroRd32Info.exe disabled entirely. *Update1*: Here's a crude way to hide the PDF tab in File Properties: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F9DB5320-233E-11D1-9F84-707F02C10627}] There are more registry keys (PDF Shell-related) which I'm not confident in removing. The key above, however, hides the PDF tab. *Update2: It seems that by removing the registry key above, it doesn't just hide the PDF tab ... it also turned off 'AcroRd32Info.exe' from being loaded when browsing PDF files (tested with Adobe Reader Full) <-- this stops the pre-fetching.

if the official packs in post #1 dont have, you can try mine at post #115 above.

well, all you need to do is edit Adobe Reader's package + repackage the modified files into a self-extracting installer http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=842358 and then http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39048 or a simpler method: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=119394

Adobe Reader 9.1 Corporate (build 02) [links removed per users request] Adobe Reader 9.1 Lite (build 26) [links removed per users request] Note: I've changed the SFX to have a dialog screen before extracting (in case you change your mind). Once extracted, installation will be unattended (automated) all the way. Credits: As usual, it's based on XhmikosR's updated tutorial. Not to forget Shark007 as well

to avoid any conflicts, i've removed my language packs ... thanks XhmikosR for creating the official packs

*removed*

@provolino, not annoying at all ... just that my time with my home pc is limited on workdays ... i can only pamper it on weekends Another reason I didn't invest more time on Corporate edition because of increased size (i.e. increased upload time). My upload bandwidth is crap and download is marginally acceptable. FYI, I'm on 1M broadband but 384K uplink. <-- of course, i can't complain much if i compare to Shark007's. I'd suggest to target certain languages for Corporate edition instead. @XhmikosR, I can try to upload some on MediaFire later today. My past experience with MediaFire is not encouraging, hence my preference on RapidShare. I don't mind if anyone else can make mirrors on MediaFire Sharing is caring

I can only upload in ~12 hours time (it's Monday morning here) At the mean time, i'll wait for other languages request and i'll upload them together.

done. added above.
