Adobe Acrobat Reader DC incorporates capabilities other than just a PDF reader. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC incorporates an interface to Adobe’s document cloud and Adobe’s online services. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC has two product tracks: Continuous and Classic. This STIG was written for the Continuous track. ? The Continuous track provides updates for new features, security and platform enhancements, and bug fixes when available in a silent update. ? The Classic track does not provide new features in the updates. Updates, security and platform enhancements, and bug fixes are only available on a quarterly basis. There are two ways to verify which Adobe Acrobat Reader DC product track is installed: ? The Continuous track is installed by default on C:\\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC or navigate to Programs and Features >> Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. ? With the Classic track, the user has the option to install on any directory: <Drive Letter>:\\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader 2015 or navigate to Programs and Features >> Adobe Acrobat Reader MUI. The Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Continuous Track STIG was written for the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and a default install. The Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Continuous Track STIG was also written for a Windows environment and published as a tool to improve the security of Department of Defense (DoD) information systems. This document is meant for use in conjunction with the Windows Operating System (OS) STIG and any appropriate STIG(s) applicable to the system.
