the_wuigi Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Does anyone know how to get adobe reader to run on cc3 disconnected stations?
bodminman Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 To be honest I had loads of issues with Adobe Reader. In the end I just removed it and installed FoxIT PDF Reader instead. I also have to say that FoxIT fires up so much quicker too!
the_wuigi Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 needs to be adobe....unless you can suggest any free pdf editing software
Hawkeyez Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 We have this with teacher laptops. We found that they need the "My Settings" folder made available offline for Adobe Reader to work disconnected. Gary

bodminman Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Rm Synchronise This will sync the users My Docs folder including the My Settings folder.
the_wuigi Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 I had no end of problems with RM Synchronise...binned it years ago
bodminman Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I had no end of problems with RM Synchronise...binned it years ago I've never really had an issue with it TBH. What sort of probs? Did you report them to RM?
Hawkeyez Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I suspect, unless the machine is built as a laptop type, you wont get Offline folders, and being disconnected means the machine has no My Documents folder for Adobe to reference to. Is it a laptop or desktop you have disconnected? If its a desktop, you could either build as a laptop, or you might be able to create a custom type to also allow offline folders. Within a custom type, the section "Microsoft Offline File" will let you enable it on that type. 1
Arthur Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Hawkeyez is correct. You have to build the PC as a "laptop".
bodminman Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Hawkeyez is correct. You have to build the PC as a "laptop". If you don't build it as a laptop just go into the management console and change the workstation type to laptop and then restart the laptop(s).
synaesthesia Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 There's little that Foxit can't do that Adobe Reader can, unless you were not on about Reader at all. Adobe Reader is so full of **** I'm surprised it hasn't yet vanished off the face of IT.
Arthur Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 If you don't build it as a laptop just go into the management console and change the workstation type to laptop and then restart the laptop(s). Good point. I knew that, but for some reason reason my fingers didn't type what my brain was thinking when I wrote my post.
