Introduction¶
This document is designed for administrators and other enterprise IT professionals who manage Acrobat products. It is not intended for end users. Most of the details here pertain to registry and plist level preferences, enterprise technologies, and features that require administrator privileges.
Announcements¶
2022: 64-bit unified installer for Acrobat and Reader is now available. A single installer installs both apps, and a user’s credential determines which features are available.
June 2022: The Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) plugin is now bundled with the Acrobat package. Existing MIP plugins should be uninstalled prior to installing or upgrading to a new app. For more MIP details, see https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/mip-plugin-download.html.
