Oh, seems I missed this on my original comment. We opted not to purchase Adobe Acrobat because of the outrageous price. That's what we do on our RDS server as we have Adobe Reader installed and we use Phantom PDF to edit PDF files.

Again, you can right mouse click the file and choose 'open with' and choose your selection and click the box 'always open with this program.' The user can also choose what program should be the default program to open/edit. They can choose either the reader or the Pro.Ģ.

If the user right mouse-click's on the PDF file and selects 'open with' you will be presented with a list of programs. But only one can be set as the default to open/view/edit.

Has anyone else seen this issue? I hear it's pretty common but haven't seen a fix that doesn't involve picking one and uninstalling the other.

Is it possible to do a per user install of Adobe Pro on server 2012 R2? How would I go about it?.

I've done reinstall, remove both, install pro then install Adobe reader, make reader default, test and same issue.Īs of now Adobe Pro is uninstalled so that everyone else can work while I figure something out for these users. Even though adobe reader is set as default PDF reader, it always pops up Adobe Pro window when they try to print multiple files at once. Once Adobe pro was installed on the server, everything was fine and good for these three users but everyone else is now having issues when they try printing multiple files. Only three users need to modify PDF files so suggested getting a subscription. This worked fine until they started needing features like split/merge/extract/. Most of the users would frequently select multiple PDF files, right click and print. The scenario is, this office has RDS setup they connect to from home, no VPN, and all their work is done on the remote desktop, server 2012 R2. I'm running into issue with Adobe Reader and Pro.
