Remote Update Manager - Acrobat Pro

Hello everyone,
Please review this snippit from the Remote Update Manager (RUM) documentation.
Note: Remote Update Manager is meant only for a subsection of Adobe Desktop products. It can not be used for browser plug-ins such as Flash Player and for Adobe Reader, Acrobat Professional, and Adobe AIR application updates.
I ask the question... WHY?
Why, at the very least isn't Acrobat Pro part of the Adobe Update Server Setup Tool (AUSST) and RUM configuration?
I've finally gotten my Adobe udate server working and created a Scheduled Task to run the incremental update everyday. Perfect.
Now I'm implementing the override files on my client machines and creating a Scheduled Tasks to run the RemoteUpdateManager so that my users (as well as myself) do not have to worry about updating the Adobe programs... BUT... one of the programs that we use quite a bit, Acrobat Pro, is not part of this automated update scenario.
So, I'm left still updating Acrobat manually which almost, but not quite, defeats the purpose of AUSST & RUM.
Can anyone from Adobe tell me whether there are plans to add Acrobat Pro to the automated updating procedure mentioned above?
Please say yes.
I'm so close to being at the point where the Adobe updates are completely automated. Adding Acrobat Pro to the list would be like hitting a grand slam in the 9th inning to win the game.
Thanks in advance.

Markus, thank you for the information.
First, If Acrobat is not a creative product then it shouldn't be offered in the CC collection of programs.
Second, Things being the way they are - Acrobat being deployable with the CC programs - it should be updated the same way as the CC programs. It would just make it nice and tidy and dare I say efficient.
I will check out the link to the tools. Great, more software to download, install and configure.

  • Remote Update Manager missing exception apps

    Hi all,
    Can anyone explain to me why remote update manager or even the Update GUI does not include any of the exception deployed apps like Lightroom or Acrobat? I get users asking us to update these for us when they open the app as the pop up appears.
    We have automated all the standard apps' updates via remote update manager but the cannot include the other exception ones. Can anyone help me with this one? I want to automate all the updates.
    If it isn't implemented yet then I'd like it to be since we lock admin rights from our users for security reasons.
    Thanks,
    Josh.

  • Enterprise updating of Acrobat Pro 9.1 on Mac OS X?

    I am really frustrated. The only updater I can find for Acrobat Pro 9.1 for Mac OS X seems to require full manual control via GUI, and does not allow in any way for it to be applied via, say, Apple Remote Desktop, or via SSH.
    I have 50+ computers here with Acrobat Pro and I want to apply the update. I am the only sysadmin here. Please provide an appropriate installer! I do not have time to walk to each computer, log in, mount the dmg, launch the updater, authenticate, locate Acrobat Pro for you, run it, log out. Especially when the lab is open 110 hours per week and is busy, I need these kinds of updaters to be able to be run in the background via command line.
    (Harumph!)
    -Jason

    Unless there is a "hidden" or "secret" updater for Acrobat Pro 9 (currently 9.1.2 is the most recent patch), there is *NO* way to silently and remotely install the patch. I have been picking apart the contents of the dmg and installer app bundle for over a month now. I have tried every combination I can think of.
    There is *NO* facility in the updater app that would allow for syadmins to deploy the patch or patching process to multiple computers, remotely, in the background. This is a HUGE PAIN IN THE ***! (Adobe, get your s*** together. My university has already dropped the purchasing and support of CS4 for all public labs due to this kind of shenanigan, plus the incredibly complex installer structures and deployment issues.)
    Please, please, please. If you want institutional volume purchases, you MUST support methods to easily deploy and UPDATE your applications. This Acrobat patch is a dismal failure. I am very seriously considering removing Acrobat Pro from my lab computers, and not renewing licensing when the current CLP is up. For far too long Acrobat Pro has been a considerable pain in the *** for deployment. The @#$@#$ "self heal" b.s., the need to run first as an admin user before any other users on the system can use it... I am ONE guy supporting a LOT of computers. I do NOT have time to be logging into every single machine to launch one application. This is b.s.
    Adobe: FIX IT! Or you will lose our business altogether!
    Ever hear of the command line? SSH or other remote shell? Apple Remote Desktop? Hello?
    You've made the cost of ownership extremely expensive, and not simply in terms of dollars.

    Hi mattwillball,
    Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
    You might need to refer the following KB doc link for issue where Acrobat download and install process is stuck at 35% on MAC:

  • Remote update manager and ausst

    Hello,
    I try to set up automatic updates for all creative cloud applications in our company. The AUSST is already working and a web-directory exists, but there are still some problems I cannot solve yet.
    1. Does the remote udpate manager also use the AdobeUpdater.Overrides? If not, how can I use our internal AUSST Web Server for the remote updates?
    2. Which option in the Creative Cloud Packager creates the folder \ProgramData\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\ ?
    3. Where does the Adobe Update Manager save the .overrides-file I chose in the Adobe Update Manager? Does this file also apply for the Remote Update Manager?
    4. Is there any way to change the extended configuration parameters for a package after the installation
    Thanks and regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,
    Please find the answers outlined below.
    1. Does the remote update manager also use the AdobeUpdater.Overrides? If not, how can I use our internal AUSST Web Server for the remote updates?
    Ans: Setup RUM with AUSST : Creative Cloud Help | Using Adobe Remote Update Manager
    2. Which option in the Creative Cloud Packager creates the folder \ProgramData\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\ ?
    Ans : Creative cloud packager doesn't create this folder. this is being created while deploying the update payloads.
    3. Where does the Adobe Update Manager save the .overrides-file I chose in the Adobe Update Manager? Does this file also apply for the Remote Update Manager?
    Ans: Override.xml is being generated manually using Adobe update server setup tool. In case you install the package without setting up an update sever under package configuration, it generates AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat.
    4. Is there any way to change the extended configuration parameters for a package after the installation
    Ans : Package configuration can't be changed once created once created.
    Hope this helps.
    Let me know in case you would need any further clarification.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

  • Remote Update Manager with AAMEE 2.1 deployments.

    Hi,
    I've noticed the AAMEE 3.1 Beta has some new options that integrate with Remote Update Manager and CS6 installation packages, that allows you disable updates, but still run them with Remote Update Manager.  If I've deployed and Adobe CS5.5 package built with AAMEE 2.1, with the ability to install updates disabled, will I still be able to use Remote Update Manager to install updates to those deployments?  Or will I need to continue to deploy them manually?  If I want to deploy CS5.5 and use Remote Update Manager for updates, what settings should I be using in AAMEE 2.1 when I build my packages?
    Thanks,
    ~Ted

    Hi Ted,
    RUM can also be used with CS5 & CS5.5 and by the sounds of it would fit in with your current configuration very well. If user's are non admins or you do not want each client pulling in there updates automatically then we would suggest turning off client updates in AAMEE and then using RUM.
    Have you looked at setting up AUSST in your environment ? it is great to use in conjunction with RUM but you can of course just use RUM if you prefer.
    Cheers

  • Remote Update Manager doesn't recognize applicable updates

    Hi,
    We have a script scheduled to run Remote Update Manager on one of our client machines. This machine is currently running OSX 10.8.5 and Adobe Creative Cloud. When looking at Creative Cloud directly, we can clearly see that there are updates available for our Adobe products. Remote Update Manager, however, does not recognize these updates and will therefore not automatically update. This prevents the user from working as they do not have access to administrative credentials used to update these applications.
    I have included an example of the returned messages by Remote Update Manager. These logs are pulled as of this morning but, as you can see, still reflect an outdated entry of 10/17/13.

    What I'm not getting is the "Ending the RemoteUpdateManager Return Code (0)" part.
    I'm using the latest AAMEE.
    Are there any further things I can do to see why this is happening?

    It seems to be related to the new Creative Cloud Packager (version 1.7).
    All the packs I had made with 1.5 exited correctectly.
    All the packs I have make with 1.7 dont exit.
    And it seems to be impossible to go back to 1.5 ....
    I think the problem might be with this line (from uob_csis but I get the exact same):
    RemoteUpdateManager version is : 1.7.0.25 (BuildVersion: 1.6; BuildDate: Tue Sep 02 2014 07:02:05 )
    There seems to be an incoherence between the version and the buildversion.

  • Remote update manager creative cloud app

    Hello,
    remote update manager won't update the creative cloud app for windows. Is it intended, that we need a separate tool to update the CC-App? Are there any manuals describing how to automatically update it?
    Since users in out company don't have admin privileges, i'd like to do it with a tool such as the remote update manager - but RUM will update all other adobe applications, just not the creative cloud app...
    Thanks and regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Ashubijalwan1,
    just to make sure there is no misunderstanding:
    All Creative Suite Apps are updated except for the app with the name "Adobe Creative Cloud".
    When I use the Creative Cloud Packager and select solely the core components, "Adobe Creative Cloud" is a part of them. The program itself shows a message saying that an update is necessary, but RUM won't update "Adobe Creative Cloud".
    Best regards,
    Tobias

  • After updating to Acrobat PRO 9.5.2 PDFs open VERY Slowly

    I am using Acrobat PRO on a workstation (Windows 7 Ultimate - Service Pack 1)
    After updating to Acrobat PRO 9.5.2, all pdf files open VERY slowly (30-60 secs). It does not appear to matter if the file is local to the workstation or on the network. Also the size of the file does not seem to matter or whether this is the first file opened or a subsequent file.
    In addition just opening Adobe Acrobat is equally slow.
    I have tried turning off the anti-virus software. No impact.
    Any suggestions appreciated...

    Have you tried "Repair Acrobat Installation" to see if it makes any difference?  To do this try this:
    Help >> Repair Acrobat Installation.
    Another option is to press the shift key while clicking or double clicking on the PDF file to open.  this stops loading all the useless fonts in the document and other useless plugins in acrobat.
    The third option is to delete the registry key that appears to be corrupted . However, if you nothing about registry keys, then you can't do it unless your company systems people can help you.  The registry entries are:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Acrobat Reader
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Adobe Acrobat
    It is a question of renaming them while you have exited from acrobat.  Once this is done, restart the system and start/launch the acrobat and the fresh keys will be generated.  PLEASE NOTE: DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE THE HELP OF YOUR SYSTEMS PEOPLE IN YOUR COMPANY.
    Hope this helps.

  • I updated to Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, now I want to delete the bad update.

    I updated to Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 and it won't print a pdf, all it does is stall at the very beginning of the printing and hangs up. Adobe: How Do I Delete this bad update? I need to use this as a pdf maker. Thanks for your help.

    It deletes the entire program (just click on the link and that is what it tells you). The only way I know to backup is to reinstall. When you say it will not print a PDF, I assume you mean create one from some other application using the Adobe PDF printer. It is probably worth trouble shooting the issue a bit as it may be a simple problem.
    First, what os are you running, and if Windows xx is it 32 or 64-bit? Have you tried to print to file with the printer and then opening the file in Distiller to complete the creation? If that works, is AcroTray running in the background? You may actually have to stop it if it is and restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder).

  • Unable to install updates for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and MS Office 2008

    This is a followup post to a nagging problem last fall that prevented successful installation of product version updates for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and Microsoft Office 2008 running under OS X v10.6.5. Days of fruitless, circular pursuit of solutions from both Adobe and Microsoft tech support provided no recognition of the problem…let alone an answer.
    Fortunately, a few helpful techs at a nearby Apple Store yielded results. They were initially as perplexed as their counterparts but it gratified to this customer when each recognized the problem was real and was sufficiently motivated to track down a solution.
    By process of elimination it was suggested: i) reinstall the original Snow Leopard 10.6.0 upgrade disk; ii) download the v10.6.5 combo update to bring the OS current; and iii) download and install the Acrobat and Office updates. It worked—perfectly—the first time.
    The consensus seems to be that a combination of many successive installations of OS and product version updates eventually produced conflicting instructions resulting in stalemate.
    Remarkably, it hasn't been necessary (or appealing) to perform a clean install since some point prior to the introduction of OS X. Nor has it since. A 'rollback' to the original Snow Leopard version with one subsequent update to the current OS version appears to have cleared out a nest of remnant conflicting instructions. Kudos to Apple's tech support and Occam's Razor.

    Hello,
    You can download the Acrobat 9 updates manually by following link:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    However, PDF Maker plugin would not be enable in Outlook, as Acrobat 9 is not support with Office 2013.
    Please refer to following compatibility chart:
    Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications
    You need to have Acrobat 11 to get PDF maker plugin in Office 2013.

    My first thought is to not just apply permissions to the folder but be sure to apply them to all objects inside them. It would be interesting to see if you can rename this file, then rename it back to its original name; this would test permissions nondestructively.
