Introduction¶
This document is designed for enterprise IT professionals who manage Acrobat products on Macintosh. It is not intended for end users. Most of the details here pertain to plist level preferences, configuration, deployment, and features that require administrator privileges to use.
Resources¶
This guide is part of an enterprise tookit (ETK) which is Adobe provides to help administrators manage Acrobat products.
Customization Wizard for Mac: Modify basic installer settings prior to deployment.
If you’re deploying Acrobat delivered as part of a Creative Cloud, refer to that documentation
The Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition is a command-line tool for supported platforms that helps you track and manage serialization of Adobe® products that you have deployed using the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition.
The Preference Reference provids details about advanced plist configuration.
Update management tools: Acrobat supports both the Adobe Update Server Setup Tool (AUSST) as well as the Remote Update Manager (RUM).
AUSST allows enterprise IT administrators to set up and maintain an in-house update server that synchronizes with Adobe’s update servers. Client machines then download and install updates from the internal AUSST server rather than the Adobe update servers. The tool supports a command line switch (–acrobatonly) so that only Acrobat updates are synchronized. For details, refer to the AUSST documentation.

RUM supports remotely invoking the Adobe Update Manager to install without having to log in on individual machines. For details, refer to the RUM documentation. Mac download: https://s3.amazonaws.com/deploymenttools-prod/RemoteUpdateManager_mac.zip
