Mobile Device Management
Allow MDM for macOS to control the files /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist and /Users/{username}/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist
All keys should be able to be controlled. The keys can be obtained from https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/
We use Kandji to control various Mobile Device Management settings for our client desktop and laptop Macintosh computers. One thing that MDM is supposed to be able to do is control settings in various plist files on macOS. If a special plist needs to be controlled we can create a custom Profile to do so. This profile is saved as a molbileconfig file with the required settings. It looks like Adobe Acrobat is not respecting the Custom Profiles set in MDM. See the attachment “com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.mobileconfig.txt”, (Remove the txt extension to make it a mobileconfig file. Replace the txt extension with plist to be able to open it in Xcode as a property list file.)
MDM settings are not working for the file located at /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist.
I need to add the settings manually to get the following to work:
DC:FeatureLockdown:bUpdater
DC:FeatureLockdown:bToggleFTE
DC:FeatureLockdown:bUsageMeasurement
If I set bUpdater to false this should disable the ability to check for updates.
If I set bToggleFTE to true this should disable the tour screen.
If I set bUsageMeasurement to false this should disable the Welcome screen on first run.
The other settings listed in the mobileconfig should stop the "What's New" screen from showing after the third time the application is launched.
The bUpdater, bToggleFTE, and bUsageMeasurement settings should be for the file located at /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist.
The other settings should be for the file located at /Users/{username}/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist
