Having Issues with Adobe Reader downloading the latest 11.0.11 dmg. Is anyone able to get the autopkg-recipes recipes to download 11.0.11? I saw it is available in the FTP section when looking in the devnet docs. Not sure what is going on, DC doesn't seem to like our PDF's and kills the ability to print things in our district so we are reverting to the Reader before DC until I can figure out more about what is going to happen going forward. Any help is appreciated.

TL;DR:

Adobe changed their pattern for Adobe Reader.

Of Course they did. Thanks Greg. I'll do some testing with the url that you can get from that devnet doc link

Thanks for clearing this up. Thanks adobe for being a pain in my side. Wish we could just use Preview and be done with this haha.

Some work has also been done on this already:

https://github.com/autopkg/recipes/pull/61

It's unfortunate that Adobe would change their pattern so late in the
lifecycle of Reader 11 - assuming we do merge in a separate set of
"Updates-only" recipes from Matthias's proposal, it will make
deploying Reader more complex, where there is some base version of
Reader and then updates on top of it, at which point you may want to
stop importing the base versions in case they get later updated again,
etc.

To close this loop, I just posted a new set of recipes, AdobeReaderUpdates, based on Matthias's work in the PR I referenced in the previous e-mail.
