Adobe CC - Acrobat

[Liam]

Does anyone know how to actually deploy this so it is licensed etc?

 

In previous versions (2015) i just run it from the exception deployer folder. Its different now as it doesn't contain any files.

 

The msi just doesn't work despite me building a new package!

 

They make it hard sometimes Adobe!

 

Thanks

I used the setup. exe created by the Cc Packager. I used SCCM to remove the old version and install the new version. Several programmes if running like outlook etc will prevent it from working.

We ended up downloading a separate license package that we install after the DC package. Worked OK for several months but have since started getting issues with the licenses expiring!!! To get over this we have created and downloaded a second license package, annoying that nowhere on the Adobe site is there any mention that the license expires every so often (even though its not due for renewal) though it certainly seems to be the case with our installs.

I think ideally they want you to use named licences. However you need ADFS or Shibboleth setup.

Also Azure AD works if you don’t want to setup and ADFS infrastructure

Since I posted on this thread. I now have Adobe CC 2019 software being deployed using SDL with AzureAD and User Sync with some powershell.

One thing I have noticed it’s SDL Acrobat is that if acrobat hasn’t been opened and a user right clicks a pdf file and selects Edit with Acrobat they get an annoying acrobat not licensed pop up and it doesn’t open. Normal open works and you get prompted to sign in.

I also noticed the services within Acrobat Reader are disabled where SDL Apps are deployed. As I can't ensure users have a 1:1 device I can't use named licensing for staff.
