We want to install only Adobe Acrobat DC on certain users computers, not any other creative cloud program. What are the proper steps to do this on the Windows platform?

I am aware that when we install Adobe DC with other programs such as Photoshop, we install it from the exceptions folder, through the command line, prior to installing the main Creative Cloud MSI.

But, in this case, there will be no other programs. Please give me step by step instructions on how to properly download from adobe and install.

Thank you.

Just to add, that with new release of Creative Cloud Packager a day back, Acrobat DC is part of CCP package (not in Exceptions) and now it is single step workflow, Acrobat DC can be installed via Setup.exe of CCP package. Deploy Adobe Acrobat XI or DC has the updated information.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

CC users are recommended to deploy Acrobat (irrespective of whether CCP package has other products), as per steps mentioned in Deploy Adobe Acrobat XI or DC

sumitash1, when we initially created the msi package installer a few months ago, Acrobat DC was part of the exceptions folder. So we followed the steps to deploy it as an exception prior to running the CC installation. The CC installation included several other CC programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. But, when we tried to create only a Adobe Acrobat DC installer, it would install, but require our users to sign in.

You mention that they created a new release of CC Packager recently. This hopefully will do the trick for us, especially since it is now not an exception. We will try to create the installer again using the new release Packager and report back here on our success.

Thanks sumitash1 for your input.
