Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Std - hide Product Registration Menu Item
Every post I have seen states that in order to remove the Product Registration from the Help menu is the enter this line into the HideMenuItems.js file: app.hideMenuItem("AMTDynamic1");
In fact as soon as it is launched and the file takes into effect, it does indeed disappear. However, if you go back to the Help Menu, it will reappear, but be greyed out. Then if you go back to it yet later on, it will be present and available for a user to select...
If you were to hide the entire Help Menu option, then nothing appears...
What gives? How do I keep the Help -> About options but ensure that the Product Registration will not appear? I am at Adobe Acrobat X Professional 10.1.3...

You are done, you will definitely see register option under help but will be greyed down.
Also I used these things
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\11.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
"bUpdater"=dword:00000000
"bPurchaseAcro"=dword:00000000
"bUsageMeasurement"=dword:00000000
"bShowEbookMenu"=dword:00000000
Hi Guys, After much debugging into Adobe sites, I finally resolved it.
To disable Product Registration from Adobe Acrobat, create a HideMenu.js file under "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts\" with the below contents.
app.hideMenuItem("AMTDynamic1");
Hope that helps.
