    I'm wondering about this too.  If I try to use the version for 9 to open X, it errors out.

    I'm waiting for the new customization wizard too... i hope they'll release it soon.

    Strange philosophy to release a new software without the needed tools for deployment, if you wouldn't have the monopoly status about the hole pdf thing i'd switch the software in a second.

    Bump...

    Adobe Customization Wizard

    Take greater control of enterprise-wide deployments of Acrobat X and Reader X. Use this free downloadable utility to customize the Acrobat installer and configure application features before deployment. A new version of the Customization Wizard will become available shortly after the next product release date.

    Adobe only lists "TBD" for the 10.x version of the Customization Wizard.  If past history is a guide, it took a little over 6 weeks for the v9 customization wizard to get released, after v9 Reader/Acrobat had shipped.  I wouldn't suggest anyone hold their breath at this point.  Maybe sometime in late December 2010, or early 2011.

    It is very lame that Adobe release a product without the tools necessary to enable deployment of it.

     

    Until they get off they bottoms and release the Customization Wizard, Acrobat X and Reader X are going nowhere in my organisation.

     

    Also to swissr0acH, there are dozens of products out there that can both read and write PDF files. Adobe hardly has a monopoly.

    Re: Adobe Customization Wizard for acrobat 10 X

    I just made my own Transform. This is what I did. I grabbed InstEdit free version. Loaded up my Acrobat 9 standard MSI, loaded the transform created and saw what properties were changed/added.

     

    There are a few things it adds for Enterprise things such as security so I couldn't put those tables in the transform, but I did add ISX_SerialNUM, CompanyName, and changed EULA _ACCEPT from NO to YES and REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS from NO to YES.

     

    Then I installed the product so I could get the correct productID GUID and replaced the GUID in the Acrostan.sms file and changed the version from 9 to 10.

     

    SOooo until they decide to make a Customization Wizard available to create the transform for you this is the best way to do it.

     

    Most of the values that you will need to change are in the properties table. Just fool around with changing values in there until you get your install the way you want it.

    Re: Adobe Customization Wizard for acrobat 10 X

    Custom installation of Acrobat 10 (X) Professional and Standard can be done without the "Customization Wizard" by using Orca or InstEd or any other MSI editors. Here is what we did (this expands on what Ryster092 mentioned earlier):

     

    1) Using an MSI editor open AcroPro.msi (or AcroStan.msi if you are installing Standard)

     

    2) In the "Property" table change:

      

    a. To suppress online registration

    REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS              YES

     

    b) To do a full installation

    SetupType                                         Complete

    _IsSetupTypeMin                                Complete

     

    c) Automatically accept EULA

    EULA_ACCEPT                                  YES

     

    d) Set default PDF reader to Acrobat Pro (to set to Acrobat Reader the value is "Read")

    DEFAULT_VERB                                Open

      

    3) In the "Property" table add:

     

    a. Add your product serial number

    ISX_SERIALNUMBER                          xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

     

    b. Add user name

    USERNAME                                       xxxxx xxxxxxxx

     

    c. Add organization/company name

    COMPANYNAME                               xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxx

      

    4) Save it by creating another MSI, for example AcroPro_mod.msi

      

    5) Run installation

     

    msiexec /i AcroPro_mod.msi /qb /promptrestart

     

      

    I think this gives you a good idea of how to customize your installation of Acrobat X. Modify the actually values of the fields according to your needs.
