Using group policy to disable Adobe Acrobat JAVA
If you need to disable Java within Adobe Acrobat Reader but don’t want to script, import a reg file or go around each workstation individually, then this .adm template will help ease the admin burden.
Copy the text below and save the file with a .adm extension. Then import this into a Policy (user) and disable the setting for the desired results, simple.
CLASS USER
CATEGORY “Adobe AcrobatReader 9.x”
POLICY “JavaScript Reader 9.x”
KEYNAME “SoftwareAdobeAcrobat Reader9.0JSPrefs”
EXPLAIN “Enable or Disable JavaScript in Acrobat Reader 9.x”
VALUENAME “bEnableJS”
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
N.B. after ‘END CATEGORY’ you need a carriage return. I found this out after a couple of policy errors and a recheck of the original document!
