Administrator features

Administrators can control some of the user settings with the defaults command.

This feature is available in Tungsten Power PDF Business for Mac only.

The following sections detail the supported commands. Run these commands in Terminal or in your script to activate the feature.

Accept EULA by default

Run the following command to set the EULA to accepted by default:

defaults write com.kofax.powerpdf.mac "licenseagreement" -bool "YES"

As a result, Tungsten Power PDF Business for Mac does not display the EULA when the user starts it the first time but is considered accepted.

Disable automatic update

Run the following command to prevent automatic updates:

defaults write com.kofax.powerpdf.mac "Update.EnableAutoUpdateCheck" -bool "NO"

As a result, the Enable automatic check for update check box in the Options dialog box is cleared, and Tungsten Power PDF Business for Mac does not periodically look for updates. The user can still initiate the update manually with the Check for Updates menu item.

Disable DocuSign

Run the following command to disable DocuSign:

defaults write com.kofax.powerpdf.mac "DisableDocuSign" -bool "YES"

As a result, Tungsten Power PDF Business for Mac does not offer DocuSign in the menu and on the Security tab of the Ribbon.
