ajua Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 just wait a few days, there will be a spanish release from adobe. meanwhile use english version or the spanish version 7.0.8.
muchlux Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Hi,I tried the new release and all worked great except the Help function.Clicking on Help(F1) causes a crash. (XP+W2k)I would therefore suggest to include the help files since AR8 may have new operation/functions compared to 7.0.8
Shark007 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 Hi,I tried the new release and all worked great except the Help function.Clicking on Help(F1) causes a crash. (XP+W2k)I would therefore suggest to include the help files since AR8 may have new operation/functions compared to 7.0.8I wasnt aware of this problem. I didnt specifically remove the help files. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll look into this and hopefully release updated files soon.shark
Shark007 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 Help files have been added to all Adobe Reader 8.0 Lite versions.shark
Shark007 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 thanks. you're welcomeAnd for those of you looking to save a few extra MB's I bring you theENGLISH EXTREME EDITION @ 9.7 MBThis is a fully functional reader- it is available in english only- it has no help files (trying to access help will crash the reader)- it has no updater features- it has no runtime librariesGet it from the usual source...shark
Ver Greeneyes Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Great, I only use AR to read pdfs anyway; what are the runtime libs for?
rado354 Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 I just would like to say a HUGE thanks to Shark007!By the way the 7.0.8 Lite worked for me from SVCPACK if I'm not wrong.Is there going to be a 8.0 Lite SVCPACK compatible installer in the future?Thanks once again for all these wonderful installers!
muchlux Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 If you want to disable annoying autoupdate after install, just move the updater.api to the Optional folder.Seems to work with other plugins too.disableautoupdate.cmd:rem # disable Autoupdate #move "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\plug_ins\updater.*" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Optional"
Mikka Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Kudos to shark for this neat release, thanks alot.All I'm missing is the ability to fill out pdf forms (which I do rarely but happen to need now and then).Does it suffice to copy AcroForm.api from the regular Reader release into the Optional folder as Muchlux wrote?
HiDefHusker Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 All I'm missing is the ability to fill out pdf forms (which I do rarely but happen to need now and then).It would be nice to have acroform.dll included....
tsk Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) > it has no runtime librariesdoes it mean I have to have these 3 dlls and copy them to AR8 dir (or system32 if I want them to be "visible" for other apps, too) or else AR8 won't even work/start? Does AR ~actually~ need ALL these .dll to function?ps WXP SP2 doesn't have these 3 dlls by default, does it? Edited December 23, 2006 by tsk
coucou Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Hi Shark007,First of all throughout a wonderful New Year that's happy from the start...I spent 2 days try repacking Adobe Reader 8 without success... I couldn't get the folders (Common, CommonAppData, program files and Windows) and the .msi file like in yr ar8lite_eng.exe. In fact, like everybody i downloaded the original AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe, launched it and recover from C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\Adobe Reader 8.0 the files Abcpy.ini, AcroRead.msi, Data1.cab, setup.exe and Setup.ini (39MB). At this point, with reader 7.0x it was possible to launch an administrative install (setup.exe /a) to recover all folders and .msi file like yours. There is no more administartive install with reader 8, swithes available but should keep 39MB (swithes: /sPB - silent mode with progress bar; /rs - reboot suppress; /rps - reboot prompt suppress; /ini "path" - alternative initialization file; /sl "lang_id" - set language; /l - enable error logging; /msi [command line] - parameters for MSIEXEC).By launching (reader 8) setup.exe i could get the Common folder in C:\Program Files\Common\"Adobe"CommonAppData in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\"Adobe" program files in C:\Program Files\"Adobe\Adobe Help Viewer" and C:\Program Files\"Adobe\Reader 8.0regarding Windows i had to find the files in C:\windows\System32 and C:\windows\winsxs.When i got all those folders and files, AcroRead.msiwas NOT able to install the reader8, it looking for Data1.cab.Just for my knowledge, may you be kind to unveil yr know how.Regardscoucou
MGadAllah Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I've just would like to know what may be the differences between Adobe Reader and Fox it reader....because I've found both read .PDF and fox it reader using less system resources comparing with great system resource for adbe readerwhy do me or other may still need to use fox it reader?
