Unable to Read MIP Label

[Kip383036297iks]

Hello I am looking for clarity on a few things related to MIP labels with Adobe products. To see the MIP label displayed in the message bar do you need to use an admin account to sync with Microsoft or should you still be able to view the label without syncing? How do I allow users to change MIP labels inside Adobe products? The documentation I am seeing is old and out of date.

Hi there,

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP) is a Microsoft rights management solution that enables a rights-based access to assets including PDF documents. Adobe Acrobat Pro/Standard and Reader desktop apps support consistent viewing of PDFs protected by Microsoft Purview Information Protection. In addition, for organizations standardizing on MPIP, we have launched the native experience to apply and edit Information Protection sensitivity labels and policies to their PDFs within the desktop version of Acrobat Pro/Standard.

Hi @Kip383036297iks,

Hope you are well. 

If you are still looking for answers, please find them below:

To enable the label message bar, follow the steps below [depending on OS]

For Windows 

1. Ensure Acrobat is not running.

2. To open the Windows registry editor, press the Windows key + r and type regedit.

3. Set the following registry entries:

Go to: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\MicrosoftAIP
And set the value: bShowDMB value to 1

[If you do not see the tag, create a DWord and set value]

4. Close the registry editor.

For MAC

1. Ensure Acrobat is not running.

2. Keeping the Command button pressed, press the Space bar.

3. In the Search bar, enter Terminal, and double-click Terminal in the left sidebar to open the macOS terminal.

4. In the terminal, run the following commands:

• sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :DC:MicrosoftAIP:ShowDMB array" ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pro.plist
• sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :DC:MicrosoftAIP:ShowDMB:item1 bool true" ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pro.plist
• sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :DC:MicrosoftAIP:ShowDMB:item0 integer 0" ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pro.plist
• sudo killall cfprefsd

If the user is enrolled in AIP or MIP, they should not have to sync with Microsoft services every time. 

The steps shared here have the latest information on Microsoft's current MIP label.

Please let me know if you have further queries.
