Hi!
Our Create Cloud users do not have local admin rights on their computer.
Photoshop, InDesign, ... is working fine.
But Adobe Acrobat wants on each opening PDF file a local admin login.
How can i disable that?
Thanks,
Bernhard

Hello,
I hope you are doing well. Please see these articles and try the suggestions: Manage product permissions in the Admin Console
Resolve permission issues with Acrobat
Also, if you are the admin, then you can deploy Acrobat without user-level admin rights via:
-
Adobe Admin Console: Create pre-configured packages with Adobe Customization Wizard.
-
Group Policy (Windows) or MDM (macOS): Distribute packages with elevated privileges.
- If prompted for admin rights during minor updates, adjust preferences:
Go to Menu (Windows)/Acrobat (mac) > Preferences > Updater and uncheck "Use elevated privileges when installing updates"
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Anand Sri.
