Checklist Summary:

The Adobe Acrobat Professional XI Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) was written for the full version of Adobe Acrobat Professional with default installation parameters. Adobe Acrobat Professional XI is software used for creating, editing, and printing Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Adobe Acrobat Professional XI provides some limited access to Adobe’s document cloud and online services as a precursor to features offered in Adobe Acrobat DC. Custom installations and deployments for mobile platforms such as Android and iOS are not covered in the guidance. The Adobe Acrobat Professional XI STIG is intended to be applied to a Windows desktop environment and is 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.
