I wanted to disable the “Tell me if Nitro Pro is not the default viewer” option on startup for each user via group policy. We can set this using Nitro custom MST creator with deploymentutility9_en.exe , however this works as below

Installation (Admin)

1. On installation we write a large number of preferences to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nitro\Pro\9.0\settings\

First Launch (User)

2. On a users first run we copy the local machine keys to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Nitro\Pro\9.0

3. We then load on startup these keys to memory for use during the operation of Nitro Pro 9

4. When the application is closed, any changes are written back to HKEY_CURRENT_USER so they can be accessed on the next launch

So once it set once the user can change this, I added the following update registry key to set this every time the user logs in to make 100% the user does not click yes!

Path1 : HKCU/ \Software\Nitro\Pro\9.0\settings\kPreferances

Key : kPrefGeneralMsgIfNotDefaultPDFViewer

Type : String

Value : /b 0 – where 1 is Yes and No is 0

Uncheck Prompt for FileName for all users

I have managed to isolate what drives the configuration for these panels.

Change Word Format Nitro Converts from PDF to Doc

Word Format – To configure in the Word Convert format you can specify the following HKLM (install) and then after first run HKCU defined key.
Location : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nitro\Pro\9.0\Settings\Preferences\kPreferences
Name : kPrefConvertPDFToWordFormat
Type : String
Value : /i 0 | /i 1 (0 = DOCX, 1 = DOC)

Combine

This area hasn’t been configured to be completely silent in the same regards as above. The output will always be indexed ‘Untitled.pdf’, however you can configure the output location in the registry through the following registry key. This will mean that the creation occurs immediately however the name will not be pre-configured for you at this stage. To take advantage of this you will need to configure the registry keys manually shown here

 located under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nitro\Pro\9.0\Settings\Preferences\kCombinePDF.

Creation Quality

You will need to swap out some values for the higher quality option, these are:

DownHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nitro\Pro\9.0\Settings\Preferences\kCombinePDFloadSample Keys = 300

Quality Keys = 100

Compression = 3
