Posted on April 17, 2014

• System fonts are not listed in the fonts section in Adobe PDF settings. (Ref #3682798)
• On some systems PStoPDFService.exe instances are not responsive after a few hours of operation, resulting in unresponsive Distiller service operations. (Ref #3367002)

Prerequisites to installing the QF

• Adobe LiveCycle ES2 SP2 (9.0.0.2)
• QF#9.0.0-COR-1030-2.262

Important: LiveCycle QFs are cumulative, which means they include issues fixed in previous QFs. Therefore, before installing this QF, it is recommended to go through all the previous QFs for LiveCycle ES2 SP2 PDF Generator QFs. It will help you determine if there are any additional steps to be performed for an issue fixed in a previous QF. Additional steps and prerequisites are documented in the Prerequisites and comments section.

Installing and configuring the QF

1. Take a backup of the <LiveCycle_root>/deploy folder. It is required if you decide to uninstall the quick fix.
2. Stop your application server.
3. Ensure that Acrobat is not running while installing the patch.
   
4. Back up the <LiveCycle_root>/plugins/acrobat10 folder, if you have it on your LiveCycle server.
5. In System variables, change value of ADOBE_LC_PDFG_OPTIMIZER_LEGACY environment variable to TRUE.
   
6. Extract the QF archive file to your hard drive.
7. In the directory named according to the operating system that you are using:
   
   • Windows
     Navigate to the appropriate directory on the installation media or folder on your hard disk where you copied the installer, and double-click the install.exe file.
     • (Windows 32-bit) Disk1\InstData\Windows\VM
       
     • (Windows 64-bit) Disk1\InstData\Windows_64bit\VM
   • Linux, Solaris, AIX
     Navigate to the appropriate directory, and from a command prompt, type ./install.bin.
