Where do I begin with Acrobat X update deployments

Thanks. 

 

We're in an Apple/Adobe CS 5.5 environment with less than 20 CS 5.5. users and we want to create silent deployments for Acrobat X.

 

Is AAMEE Version 2.0.242.0 (2.0.242.0) a simple way to go with this - Apple Remote Desktop?  A third party tool?  Has anyone been so kind to provide any example deployment steps or configuration details in any delivery vehicle anyone has been able to benefit from?

 

We have both the "DesignPremium_CS5_5_LS1.dmg" and "AcrobatUpd1013.dmg" files on hand.

 

Any/all help or advice is GRETLY appreciated. 

 

 

Thanks again.

    Get the admin guide: http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobatitinfo.

     

    Read the Mac section. Acrobat is deployed separately from the rest of CS.

    The admin guide is complete and describes what's supported. The APT allows you to turn off EULA, Adobe ID, and Lic. dialogs.  However, if you want to off-road a bit you could read the CS doc about the Adobe Provisioning Tool and see if there are any switches you can try beyond what the doc describes.  Some folks have indicated a few CS switches work, but it's unsupported of course. I'm not sure if there's anything in there you can use or not.

    DOLAdmin2  This type of update isn't possible with AAMEE according to the documentation.

    The Enterprise Administration Guide works for standalone Acrobat.

    The admin guide is "complete" in that it describes everything that's officially supported. It specifically states what Sabian said: "The Enterprise Administration Guide works for standalone Acrobat" and provides a link to the CS doc for users working with suites.

     

    While I'm not sure how long a "hunt" would be for info in a 14 page doc, I am sure DOL's suggestions for the Admin Guide are good. . . look for changes shortly.
