Guten Tag

Ich habe jetzt mehrmals den Acrobat Reader heruntergeldanen und den dann entpackt. Dort sehe ich auch den MSI downloader. Dieser funkitioniert auch aber das problem ist das dieser noch über die ältere Version läuft. Dann habe ich einen anderen downloader probier. Der war von der neuen Version, da ist aber das problem, das er mir automatisch den PRO annimmt. Wenn ich das programm öffne heisst es dass ich mich anmelden muss und wenn ich das Fenster weg drücke schliest es mir alles. 

Woran könnte das liegen? Ich möchte ein Opsi Packet erstellen.

Ich bitte um Lösungsvorschläge.

Hello @lara_2723

 

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for sharing the details.

 

Adding to what the Adobe employee has already shared,

To install the standard (free) version of Adobe Acrobat Reader 64-bit without the Pro features:

Use the Enterprise Offline Installer:

  • Go to https://adobe.ly/4n9a2Nb
  • Choose the Multi-language (MUI) installer if the English-only version doesn’t offer the 64-bit option

Extract the MSI File:

  • Download the .exe installer.
  • Use 7-Zip or WinRAR to extract the contents.
  • Inside the extracted folder, you’ll find the .msi file for Reader.
  • Important: Use the entire extracted folder during deployment—not just the .msi file.

 

Avoid Pro Activation:

    • During installation, ensure that no Adobe ID is signed in.
    • Do not activate any trial or license prompts.
    • The installer will default to Reader unless a Pro license is applied.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi @lara_2723,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Adobe now provides a unified installer for Acrobat and Reader. Once installed, if the installer detects an Acrobat subscription on your Adobe ID, the app will become Acrobat. 

More about Unified installer:

 

Overview of the Acrobat Unified Installer:

  • The Unified Installer (also known as the Single Client App or 64-bit Acrobat application) streamlines deployment by combining Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro/Standard into a single executable package.

  • It simplifies installation and management across environments with mixed licensing, reducing confusion from separate Reader and Acrobat installs.

 

Installation Channels:

The Unified Installer can be distributed via five primary methods:

  • Reader Download Center (RDC) – Free Reader for individuals, no mandatory sign-in.
  • Microsoft Store – Also for individual users without forced sign-in.
  • Creative Cloud Desktop App (CCDA) – Full Acrobat version for teams and individuals; requires Adobe login.
  • Admin Console Package – For enterprise deployments, offering customization.
  • Direct Download from HelpX – Alternate enterprise installer, useful if CCDA fails.

 

Key Features & Requirements

  • It is only available as a 64-bit installer; it automatically replaces older non-unified setups (Reader or Acrobat). The legacy 32-bit installers remain separate for specific legacy needs.

  • In enterprise environments, administrators are encouraged to deploy the unified installer across all users to accommodate mixed entitlements (free, Standard, Pro). Features activate dynamically based on user licensing.

  • The unified installer does not support serial-number licensing; organizations needing serial-based deployment should use the non-unified installer.

 

Running Acrobat in “Reader Mode”

 

For environments where users shouldn’t be forced to sign in:

  • Use a registry key or customization wizard to enforce reduced mode, allowing Acrobat to install as a generic Reader until a valid license is provided.
