This is all Adobe. The JAMF folks simply use the scripting APIs provided by
Adobe for their installers. The Acrobat team at Adobe does its own thing
compared to the rest of the suite and one of those things it doesn't do is
provide scripting support in its Acrobat updaters for Mac.

Adobe has said that the next version of Acrobat installer for Mac will come
as a .pkg format, which gives me a modicum of hope for the future.
