adobe acrobat reader dc updater script error

[tcandela]

does anyone use the Acrobat Reader DC Updater script obtained from the JAMF 'Resources' --> 'Scripts' section?

seems to fail 90% of the time, no matter what version prior to the newest version is installed. Here is a sample details taken from the policy after it failed.

@amartin has this adobe acrobat reader dc updater script been fixed yet? I just grabbed it earlier today and it's nothing but spitting out error when trying to update to current version (see below taken from policy details of one computer that is currently running 20034).

90% of the time this script is causing an error, while 10% of the time it works

i added an additional echo so it also shows it in the policy details
in the 'else' section of the # double check to see if the new version got updated

Script result: Latest Version is: 2020.006.20042

I found that sometimes it was because the installed macOS was not compatible with the current version of adobe reader.
Computers running version 17 or 18 of reader weren't compatible with current versions 20.

The update packages Adobe publishes themselves fail on me a lot. Glad Jamf added the Retry option. It appears version 20.012.20043 is the latest for Reader & Acrobat, but Adobe only offers 20.012.20041 ATM. So that can cause some hiccups for me.

Looks like Adobe broke something again?
