Want to enable Automatic Updates on Adobe Acrobat 64bit

[adm_ls]

I'd like to know if there is command line parameters to enable auto update from deployment in SCCM?
So far I just have this msiexec /i "AcroPro.msi" /q

I would also like to know if there is a certain registry file path to follow to change  registry and what to do if my file path doesn't have certain folders/subfolders in the registry??

I would like to find out if it is possible to either enable auto updates during deployment or run a powershell script to change the registry any help would be nice. I would be doing this to 350 devices so manually checking for updates is not efficient.

Hey @Amal. 

That article was not helpful. It only talked about quiet install. I am trying to figure out how to get adobe acrobat 64 bit to update automatically on 350+ devices. Either through the deploymnet itself with a command line parameter. Or SCCM third party software updates. Or enable it inside the registry be changing or adding a key. Currently I manually do this on each device, go to help and check for updates. This is not an efficient way when I manage so many devices. It would take forever to do this one by one.

Hi Amal,

How can we enable Auto update for Adobe acrobat and Reader application. i.e. once we deploy adobe on systems it should update automatically without any intrevention.

thanks

Hi there

Adobe Acrobat and Reader can regularly check for important updates and install them for you. These updates can include important security fixes and product enhancements.

Adobe Acrobat Reader is set up for automatic updates by default. It does not provide any UI option in the preferences to control this setting.

IT Administrators can control the update settings using the Adobe Customization Wizard or the Windows Registry.

For more info, please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/automatic-updates---acrobat-reader.html

Hi there

For Acrobat pro, go to Edit (Win), Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > Preferences  > Updater and Select 'Automatically install Updates'

Is that option available on Adobe Reader DC/ Adobe Reader Acrobat? Can you provide an example using adobe customization wizard setup for an admin to install an msi to lots of computers with sccm that automatically stay updated or look for updates  vs sending me to another forum?

Amal, I have this option enabled, and I am looking at an old June, 2023 Acrobat DC version (DC Jun 2023 (23.003.20215). That "Automatically install updates" option does not work.

Hi there,

What happens when you try to install the updates automatically? Do you get any error message? If yes, please share the screenshot of the same for more clarity. Also a small video reording would be very helpful.
