Silent Installation

I will add my own 2 cents...

I was hoping to use this product for our 7000 workstations but I wont be wasting my time re-packaging so that I can install silently. I will move on to another product.

Blocking enterprise clients will keep this tool from becoming something very popular. I cant see it as a very wise decision.

Hi Colin, we are adding the silent installation back in version 7.1 of doPDF (to be

released this week).

That is great news to hear. I look forward to testing it out.

Thank you.

Version 7.1 of dopdf was released yesterday, and it includes the long-awaited silent installation - http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/major-update-dopdf-71325-released

@colin it would be great if you could test this and let us know if you encounter any problems, especially given you're deploying on lots of computers.

Yes, after posting, I did see that silent installation options were added back to later installers.

But here is an even more significant problem:

"You cannot use doPDF in Terminal Services, Remote Desktop, Virtual PC, XP Mode sessions"

W...T...F!?

@ plague you are free to choose any PDF creation software as there are many available today for use.

Indeed doPDF cannot be used in the environments you mentioned.
