Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Packaging and Repackaging

Acrobat Reader DC is a free desktop software. It’s easy to deploy, customize, and update Acrobat Reader in organizations.  enterprise-wide deployment can be controlled to reduce IT costs using various tools and methods, including the Adobe Customization wizard or Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).

Security settings and access privileges for a PDF file cannot be set in Reader; however, they can be set using Adobe Acrobat software. With security settings, authors can define who can open, view, print, copy, or modify a document. These capabilities help organizations protect the confidentiality of sensitive information. With access privileges, authors can define a password that users will need to open the document, or they can use a certificate ID to encrypt the document so select recipients can open it by entering their own, unique certificate IDs.

DCOM hardening issue.

This application fails to authenticate with WMI on the SCCM server because Microsoft has not yet hardened DCOM on their Windows Preinstallation Environment. We are working on a different approach, but it will only be released during the first quarter of 2024. But until that time, the only workaround will be to uninstall the update corresponding to KB5004442.
