Download the Adobe Package

Go to Adobe Admin Console

Navigate to:
Packages → Create a Package

Select:

  • Acrobat Pro DC

Download the ZIP package and extract it on your computer.

Identify Required Files

Inside the extracted Adobe package you need to go to:

AcrobatPro\\Build\\Setup\\APRO25.1\\Adobe Acrobat

You must copy ALL of these into a new folder outside the acrobat one.

Create the MST (Customization File)

Download from Adobe: Adobe Customization Wizard DC

Open AcroPro.msi inside the wizard.

Recommended settings:

  • Enable Suppress EULA

  • Set installation to Silent (no UI)

  • Configure language settings

  • Disable cloud services if required

Save it on the folder you created, name it:

AcroPro.mst

Download the Latest Acrobat Patch (MSP)

Adobe publishes patches here: Acrobat Enterprise Release Notes

Download the latest 64-bit MSP.

Example:

AcrobatDCx64Upd2500121288.msp

Copy it into your package folder.

Create install.cmd

Your installation script must:

  • Install Acrobat using MSI + MST
  • Ensure all required package files exist
  • Apply the MSP patch
  • Generate a log

Create install.cmd:

@echo off
echo ==== STARTING ADOBE ACROBAT INSTALLATION ====
rem Base installation (requires all Adobe package files)
msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroPro.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /qn TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroPro.mst"
rem Apply the MSP patch
msiexec /update "%~dp0AcrobatDCx64Upd2500121288.msp" /qn /norestart
echo ==== INSTALLATION FINISHED ====
exit /b %errorlevel%

Create uninstall.cmd

@echo off
msiexec /x "%\~dp0AcroPro.msi" /qn /norestart
exit /b %errorlevel%

Prepare the Intune Package (.intunewin)

Use Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool:

IntuneWinAppUtil.exe

Inputs:

  • Source folder: your AcroPro folder (with ALL files)
  • Setup file: install.cmd
  • Output folder: location for the .intunewin
  • Do you want to specify a catalog folder: N

This creates:

install.intunewin

Add the App in Intune

App type: Windows app (Win32)

Upload the .intunewin file.

  • Program

    • Install command: install.cmd
    • Uninstall command: uninstall.cmd

    • Windows 10 / 11
  • Detection Rule

    • Use MSI detection:
      • Rule type: MSI

How to find the MSI product code (if Intune does not auto‑populate it):

Powershell:

(Get-WmiObject Win32\_Product | Where-Object { $\_.Name -like "\*Acrobat\*" }).IdentifyingNumber
  • Assignments
