Checklist Summary:
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: Classic and Continuous. This STIG was written for the Classic track. 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. The Continuous track provides updates for new features, security and platform enhancements, and bug fixes when available in a silent update. The Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Classic 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.
