[THIN] Re: anyone deploy adobe acrobat legally on citrix?

Ah, great minds think alike Rich! (ie, tried that already)

But I *think* I just figured it out - for the basic PDF file it's the entire
hkcr\acroexch.document7 key that I have to pull into the
hkcu\software\classes key

S'pose I ought to be ambitious and update and import all of the other
acroexch keys as well.

thanks!
