How to Set the Ellie Mae Encompass AdobeAPI Registry Value

Details: What the value does:

Encompass

This registry value determines how Encompass hands printing off to Adobe Reader. When set to 1,
Encompass uses Adobe's published APIs to send print requests to Adobe Reader. When set to 0,
Encompass uses manual methods of sending print requests. Before you begin, make sure you have Adobe DC Reader installed.  The paid and premium versions of Adobe Acrobat DC and Pro are not needed for printing. You must have the free version of Adobe Reader.
