Microsoft AIP with Adobe Reader (2023)

Hi all,

based on this article (Microsoft Purview Information Protection support in Acrobat (adobe.com)) the Adobe Reader shall have built-in support since version 22.001.20142 (based on info this Download MIP plug-in for Acrobat, Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Classic 2020, and Acrobat Reader Classic 2020 (adobe.com)

The first mentioned article descrobes what registry entries (on Windows) has to be updated to enable AIP feature (section <Apply and edit Microsoft Purview Information Protection sensitivity labels on PDFs in Acrobat> / <Installation and setup> / <for Windows>)

Currently, we've downloaded the current Acrobat Reader DC version (2023.001.20174 - 64bit), bit none of those requierd entries exists. Even no MicrosoftAIP hive mentioned in the docs exists.

 

Can anyone advise how the Reader shall be AIP/MPIP enabled? The guidance provided on Adobe site (refered above) seems not working.

 

Thank you in advance, Jan

Hello

I had to add them manually in the registry to start seeing things happening.

You need to change registry then when the adobe reader is closed.

I had to add : 

  • in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\MicrosoftAIP 
    • bShowDMB (Dword) to 1
  • in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown
    • bMIPLabelling (Dword) to 1
  • in HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown
    • bMIPCheckPolicyOnDocSave (Dword) to 1
