[Casper] Acrobat Pro

[Nichols, Jared]

Is there a best-practice way to run these updates then?  I just tried deploying to /tmp and I don't seem to see it anywhere in there.

Hrm.

The problem I've seen with Adobe's Acrobat 8.x updaters is that they are not scriptable like those for the other CS3 applications. Those .app updaters can be called with a -silent switch but not Acrobat's. :-(

These Acrobat updaters also require that you select the Acrobat application to patch and also may ask you to "repair" the installation, which is Adobespeak for "let me put back my Safari and Office plugins and set myself to default again." These prompts must be manually dismissed.

Also, JAMF may have a difficult time getting CS4 to work because the -silent update for those suites wants to connect to the Internet to download updates as part of the install process. In our environment our Macs must authenticate to our proxy (no free love access) and that just hangs the install.
