To set up adobe to work on a terminal server for both pro and reader users:

Go into add and remove programs

If there are any existing adobe apps, uninstall them, if there are none, skip to the next step

Next, open a web browser and go to this link, or just search for "adobe reader download", then install the reader


Once reader has been installed, go to this site, or search "adobe pro download"
Once, here, select the "sign in" 

Here, you will need the username/password of a user with a pro license


Once signed into the home page, select "apps'

Now select "acrobat" and "install"

After that installs, these should be the adobe programs you see in the programs list


Now, when a user opens a PDF on the terminal server, it will default open to adobe reader, anyone with an adobe pro account, just needs to sign in again, and it will default for them as pro.
