In Adobe Reader 10.x there is an option under Edit>Preferences…>3D & Multimedia to set the renderer to use the software renderer instead of Directx. I’ve read that using the software setting will garner better performance. I’m looking for a way to set this via registry or gpo – domain wide. Does anyone know how to do this?
Answer
The per-user value is stored under HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\3D
as a REG_SZ
value named t3DPreferredRenderer
. Setting the data to Software
will select the Software Renderer.
You can apply this setting using Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions very easily. Should you need a different method (ADM, ADMX) update your question with more information.
A simple script example as well:
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\3D" /v "t3DPreferredRenderer" /t REG_SZ /d "Software" /f
