Since 9.3.2 is a Quarterly update and 9.3.1 was a Security update, we’ll have to start from scratch and patch in this sequence (skipping security updates):Īdobe Acrobat: 9.0 -> 9.1 -> 9.1.2 -> 9.2 -> 9.3 -> 9.3.2 The process for deploying Adobe Reader 9.3.2 and deploying Adobe Acrobat 9.3.2 is very similar, but the 9.3.1 patch was a Security patch while 9.3.2 is a quarterly update so there are subtle differences. Now that 9.3.2 has come out, I figured I’d document the same process for deploying Adobe Acrobat 9.3.2.
When Adobe Reader 9.3.1 came out I wrote an article GPO Deploying Adobe Reader 9.3.1 that documented the process to create an Administration Install Point that allows us to deploy the (then) latest Adobe Reader.

I recently had to troubleshoot an issue with PDFs failing to launch within an Internet Explorer window which lead to a resolution that required two security features in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2015 to be disabled and thought that I’d write this post to demonstrate the process so I could reference it when I write the post describing that issue.
