Where to get Acrobat DC Pro (12.x) Updates? Something seems to get wrong on Adobe FTP

Hi everyone,

I am deploying Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat Reader for a while now. So far I've always fetched my updates here:

for Adobe Reader DC:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/

and for Adobe Pro DC:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/Acrobat2015/

However, while creating an AIP for the latest Reader DC works like a charm like always (current: AcroRdrDCUpd1501620045), for Acrobat DC pro I cannot find the updates anymore.

I expect to get the lastest one here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/Acrobat2015/1500630174/ but there is no patchfile for Acrobat Pro anymore but all files are named as if they are intended for Acrobat Reader DC (other branch), which is pretty confusing.

The last update I've successfully deployed for Acrobat DC was Acrobat2015Upd1500630172.msp (I still have it in my repository) and I am 100% sure that this file was available from the given FTP site.

Now even the Acrobat2015Upd1500630172.msp file is no longer available but is renamed to AcroRdr2015Upd1500630172_MUI.msp instead of Acrobat2015Upd1500630172.msp

I cannot find any files for Acrobat2015 anymore, neither old ones nor recent ones on Adobes FTP.

It is also not possible to apply them to the base version.

Thanks for your help.

You're looking in the wrong sub-folder. Acrobat DC (which is not version 12, by the way, but 15, for some reason), are available here:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/

Edit: And/or here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/Acrobat2015/

I have no idea what's the difference between the two versions. Maybe one is for the permanent license and one for the subscription model?

Since I haven't got any replies for this issue, I have investigated this further and realized that the Acrobat DC pro patches no longer seem to be available via FTP but can now be found at this Location:

Adobe - Acrobat : For Windows

Aye, I've noticed that, late enough! Thanks for pointing that out.

the Continous Track Base installer can be found here (thanks to Broger):

Download Adobe Acrobat DC (Continuous) for Enterprise or VIP licenses

whilst the update of course will be at

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/ for the Continous Track

respectively : ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/Acrobat2015/  for the Classic Track. Thanks a lot Try67.
