### Description

This document provides you the steps required to deploy Adobe Acrobat X to multiple computers.

### Steps

To deploy Adobe Acrobat X, follow the steps given below:

- Extract the MSI from the EXE
- Customizing the Installation
- Adding the Software Package
- Creating and Deploying the configuration

#### Extract the contents of the EXE

1. Run `AcrobatPro_10_Web_WWEFD.exe` file. Select the folder location to extract the files.
2. Unselect "Launch Adobe Acrobat X" option and click **Finish**.

#### Customizing the installation

1. Download the `CustWiz1000_en_US.exe` from:  
   http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/10.x/10.0.0/misc/CustWiz1000_en_US.exe
2. Install `CustWiz1000_en_US.exe` file to customize the installation. Steps to customize the installation are as follows:
   1. On the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, and then click **Adobe Customization Wizard X**.
   2. Click the **File** menu, and then click **Open Package**, or press `CTRL+O`. Browse to locate the product installation directory, select the `.msi` file, and then click **Open**.
   3. Click **Personalization Options** in the navigation bar. The settings you can modify appear in the main work area. Specify the serial number and other personalization options.
   4. Click **EULA and Document Status**, and specify available options.
   5. Click **Installation Option → Run Installation →** choose **Silently & Suppress reboot**.
   6. When you are done, click the **File** menu, and then **Save**, or press `CTRL+S`.

The Customization Wizard also creates a Microsoft transform (`custom.mst`) file in the same folder as the `.msi` file. The `.mst` file contains your modifications and any files added to the `.msi` file. The Customization Wizard also modifies `setup.ini` to reference the `.msi` file when the application is installed using `setup.exe`.

#### Adding the Software Package

To install from a network share, copy the **Setup Files** folder to the network share. The network share should have read access to the **Everyone** and **Authenticated Users** groups.

1. Click on **Software Deployment** tab.
2. Choose the application type as **MSI**.
3. Under Packages, click **Add Package**.
4. Choose **Network Path** and click **Browse** to locate the file.
5. Under **Installer/Uninstaller Settings**, enter the MST file name with network path: `custom.MST`.

#### Deploy to target computers

1. Select the package that you have added.
2. Click **Install/Uninstall Software**.
3. Enter a name and description for the configuration.
4. Define the package settings.
5. Configure the deployment settings.
6. Choose the target computers.
7. Specify the schedule options, if required.
