Adobe Acrobat Reader managed configuration for Android

Adobe documents twelve keys for Acrobat Reader on Android Enterprise. They cover the organization name, the sign-in screen, copy and print controls, in-app purchases and the cloud services the app can save to. Every key is a simple on or off value that defaults to on, apart from the organization name. Adobe says the app is Android Enterprise-compliant and should work with EMM vendors that support Android Enterprise.

Common setups

Common Adobe Acrobat Reader setups

Copy a setup into the managed configuration of a policy, then adjust the values. Each one uses only keys explained below.

No copy, print or purchases

For sensitive documents: block copy and print, remove the sign-in screen and stop in-app purchases. Cloud storage and sharing stay on unless you also set the allow_ storage keys to false, so this alone does not keep files inside the app.

{
  "enable_copying": false,
  "enable_printing": false,
  "enable_optional_sign_in_screen": false,
  "enable_in_app_purchases": false
}

Microsoft 365 shops

Keep OneDrive as the only third-party storage and remove the personal social sign-in options.

{
  "allow_one_drive": true,
  "allow_dropbox": false,
  "allow_google_drive": false,
  "allow_apple_sign_in": false,
  "allow_google_sign_in": false,
  "allow_facebook_sign_in": false
}

Branded work copy

Set an organization name for the managed copy and block in-app purchases on company devices.

{
  "enterprise_name": "Example Ltd",
  "enable_in_app_purchases": false
}

Managed configuration

Adobe Acrobat Reader managed configuration keys

Key names and value types come from the vendor’s documentation. The explanations are written by Nomid.

Key	Type	What it does	Example
General and sign-in
`enterprise_name`	Organization name	An organization name you choose. Adobe lists no default, so it stays empty until you set it.	`Example Ltd`
`enable_optional_sign_in_screen`	On or off	Controls whether the sign-in screen appears at launch. Turn it off when staff only need to read local PDFs and have no use for Document Cloud.	`false`
`allow_apple_sign_in`	On or off	Allows or blocks signing in with an Apple ID.	`false`
`allow_google_sign_in`	On or off	Allows or blocks signing in with a Google account.	`false`
`allow_facebook_sign_in`	On or off	Allows or blocks signing in with a Facebook account.	`false`
Document handling
`enable_copying`	On or off	Controls the copy option when text is selected. Adobe says that when it is on, PDF content can be copied to destinations outside the app.	`false`
`enable_printing`	On or off	Controls the Print option in the overflow menu of an open PDF.	`false`
`enable_in_app_purchases`	On or off	Controls whether people can buy a premium subscription from inside the app. When off, they see an alert that purchases are disabled by their organization.	`false`
Cloud storage
`allow_document_cloud`	On or off	Allows saving and sharing on Adobe Document Cloud. Adobe notes that switching it off also disables features that rely on those services, such as Create PDF and Export PDF.	`true`
`allow_dropbox`	On or off	Allows or blocks storing and sharing documents on Dropbox.	`false`
`allow_google_drive`	On or off	Allows or blocks storing and sharing documents on Google Drive.	`false`

Questions

Adobe Acrobat Reader on managed Android

What is Adobe Acrobat Reader's package name on Android?

com.adobe.reader. It is also the package name Microsoft lists for Reader in its Intune supported apps list.

Why do people see two Acrobat Reader icons?

On a device with a work profile Adobe says there is a personal version and a managed version managed by IT, which carries a briefcase badge. Adobe describes the keys as restrictions for the app when it runs in the managed profile.

What happens if I turn off allow_document_cloud?

Adobe says features that rely on Document Cloud services, such as Create PDF and Export PDF, stop working, including for files kept in other clouds. People with a paid, entitled account can still use their paid features.

Does this work with any EMM?

Adobe states the app is Android Enterprise-compliant and should work with EMM vendors that support Android Enterprise. After the app is added, the keys should appear in the EMM console.
