AADC-CN-001290 - Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Continuous Cloud Synchronization must be disabled.

Information

By default, Adobe online services are tightly integrated in Adobe Acrobat. When the Adobe Cloud synchronization is disabled it prevents the synchronization of desktop preferences across devices on which the user is signed in with an Adobe ID (including phones).

Solution

Configure the following registry value:

Registry Hive:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Registry Path:
\Software\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown\cServices

Value Name: bTogglePrefsSync
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration > Administrative Template > Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Continuous > Preferences > 'Cloud Synchronization' to 'Disabled'.

This policy setting requires the installation of the AcrobatProDCContinuous custom templates included with the STIG package. 'AcrobatProDCContinuous.admx' and 'AcrobatProDCContinuous.adml' must be copied to the \Windows\PolicyDefinitions and \Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US directories respectively.
