Hello,
I work in an enterprise environment as our System Center administrator, so I push out Application installs and software updates in an automated manner. My question pertains to Adobe Reader DC and how it reacts with other professional Reader programs. Due to the high cost of Adobe Acrobat Pro, we have opted to use Acrobat Reader DC (the free version) for people who don't need to edit, sign or convert; and Nitro Pro for users who do.
However, whenever I push out an adobe update, it constantly tries to take over as the default. So basically now, every time I push out an Acrobat install, I have it repair Nitro right after that, which makes it take back over as default - simple enough.
My next problem arises with the two Internet explorer add-ins conflicting with each other. As of right now, I just had at least 5 computers who couldn't open attachments through CRM, because the Adobe Add-in re-enabled itself. I checked all of my deployments, and none of these users are getting any Nitro or Adobe software pushed to them - they haven't had a change in their PDF software in at least two weeks.
Is it possible that a security update for Flash would be so invasive as to re-enable the Acrobat Reader add-in? Were there any March or April Windows Updates that contained fixes for Adobe, that would re-enable the update? Reader is acting like a drunk guy at a night club, it just doesn't know how to say no. No means no adobe!
Okay seriously though, has anybody seen similar behavior?
