gabriel_buc Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Installed Adobe Reader 7.0 . Here are my first impressions.1. Installation goes nice and smooth. No problems at all.The first thing I noticed during setup and the in the splash and about screens is that they got rid of the STUPID "leaping businessman" clipart. It was very annoying.2. The splash screen isn't so fancy as the one in 6.0, and it's turned off by default.3. First launch of Acrobat. The same EULA ...blah blah. First thing to notice really fast loading. I think at least 10 times faster than 6.04. The interface it's pretty much the same. Some buttons have been redisgned. In the lower-left corner have been added 2 buttons for fast acces to the fullscreen function and hide-toolbars.5. The About screen doesn't have that scrooling Credits which I liked it. The Credits appear in a new window.6. Opening a PDF (double click one) it's done very quick the same as loading the program without any file.That's it for now.When version 7.0 will reach final version will worth upgrading the old 6.0
lieblingsbesuch Posted September 16, 2004 Author Posted September 16, 2004 I think the new design is older than that from 6.0 Oo, but i think, it's loading very much faster than 6.0, u r right, gabriel buc
CoffeeFiend Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 3. First launch of Acrobat. The same EULA ...blah blah. First thing to notice really fast loading. I think at least 10 times faster than 6.0Wow. And I was goint to ask if it was 150mb and takes 17 minutes to open before I download it That's what I was expecting from them seeing how their new versions are becoming...
Sanjay Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 **** this thing opens fast. Makes you wonder what they were doing wrong in version 6.0By the way has anyone noticed that the version number displayed in 'About', is 7.9.0, wow that's like almost version 8.0 and this thing is still in beta. Strange, is it not?
Sanjay Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 run the setup file.. wait til it uncompresses all files, goto C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\RdrBig\ENU& get the msi & the data1.cabput them in the same folder & run the msi with the /qn or /qb switch The original file is 18.4 mb, but the msi & data1.cab file add up to 30.5mb Is there no way to use the original exe file to do the silent install?
gabriel_buc Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Even when you use the original file (18.4MB) the first action that is performed is extracting the files for the setup in Win's default TEMP dir. So there is the same thing .....@Sanjay: I noticed the 7.9.0, and I wanted to write about it in my impression post but I forgot.
MCT Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 run the setup file.. wait til it uncompresses all files, goto C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\RdrBig\ENU& get the msi & the data1.cabput them in the same folder & run the msi with the /qn or /qb switch The original file is 18.4 mb, but the msi & data1.cab file add up to 30.5mb Is there no way to use the original exe file to do the silent install? u could zip them using 7zip

So there is the same thing .....How would I use the original exe file to do a silent install? Using the original file is not the same as extracting the MSI because as I mentioned earlier there is a matter of the difference between 18.4 mb (original exe) compared to 30.5mb (MSI & Data1.cab).
Sanjay Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 u could zip them using 7zipCan't I do that with WinRAR? Can you be more specific regarding the whole procedure including file names and commands to put in my 'start.cmd'.Thanks.

Can you be more specific regarding the whole procedure including file names and commands to put in my 'start.cmd'.Thanks. yes u can use winrar too, but generally 7zip is better compression
Sanjay Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 yes u can use winrar too, but generally 7zip is better compression Could you elaborate on how to use 7zip. What I need to know are the file names to use and also the command lines for my 'start.cmd'.Thanks
MCT Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 hi.. u can use any file name.. your just zipping the 2 files together.. & take alook @ the documentation for 7zip for switches for the method u want 2 use http://7-zip.org
MCT Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 i just tested it.. & it only got it down 1 MB.. cuz its already compressedEDIT: but u could use mazin's (i think thats who wrote the tutorial) 2 remove all the extras, he got his down 2 10MB i think..
Sanjay Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Thanks but I tried zipping with 7zip and could only get it down to 28.5mb What I don't understand is how come originally Adobe was able to fit all this in a 18.5mb installer.I guess we are still looking for a way to silent install the original installer.
Daimao Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 how do /quiet & /qn differ from each other?They dont. Being extra carefull. hehe/quietQuiet mode, no user interaction/q[n|b|r|f]Sets user interface leveln - No UIb - Basic UIr - Reduced UIf - Full UI (default)/norestartDo not restart after the installation is completeAnd for those with no clue.
