Adobe Acrobat DC Full

Copper Contributor

New to MSIX App Attach, has anyone been able to package Adobe Acrobat DC Full? We're seeing where the Print to PDF option isn't available when attaching.

The print functionality in Adobe Acrobat Full is implemented in a device driver. MSIX, much like the predicessor App-V, cannot support drivers from within the package. If the driver is installed natively, then things should work. How to do that is probably a 3-page document, so good luck!

@TIMOTHY_MANGAN Where i can find that 3 page document

To get an installer for the driver, you could go and buy a product called "Driver Magic". You install the full acrobat product and ask that tool to generate a driver from what was installed. I have heard that although acrobat doesn't separate out a installer for the driver, there is another Adobe product that uses the same driver version and does have a separate installer (I am not a lawyer and cannot advice if that is legal). Once you have a driver, it is best to treat it as an external dependency and deploy it with Mem/Intune for example. It is possible to copy the driver inside your package and use PsfLauncher to run a script to perform the install, but your end-user will need to satisfy a UAC prompt to do that install, so keeping as a separate dependency is preferred.
