Acrobat Update Fails on mac While Installing 25.001.2047x Optional Update

Hi Team,

In our environment, we encountered an issue while updating Adobe Acrobat DC to version 25.001.2047x (Optional Update, Apr 28, 2025). The update fails on certain macOS machines.

We analyzed a few sample machines and observed the following (note: this may not cover all possible base versions)

 

Successful Updates (Sample):
25.001.20438

24.004.20272

 

Failed Updates (Sample):
24.005.20400

24.005.20320

 

We primarily used the Terminal for the installation. On machines where the update failed, we also attempted installation via the standalone installer, but that too was unsuccessful.

While using the installer, it prompted us to select the Adobe Acrobat application. However, even though the app was visible in Finder, it was not selectable, which resulted in the installation failing.
Additionally, we attempted the troubleshooting steps suggested for error code 105 , but the issue still persists. We’ve attached some sample logs and screenshots for your reference.

Looking forward to your quick assistance.
