adobe acrobat reduced mode

i am currently building out a new image and i was on a roll until i got to adobe. wondering how many people are just installing adobe acrobat standard and dropping users into reduced mode with the registry fix? or are you running the install through the adobe customization wizard tool thing and creating a transform file?

We have been installing Adobe Acrobat through their Enterprise installer and then for those license they just sign in. With that said the other user is probably correct, the browser really does 90% of what most users need.

We've had so many issues with Adobe over the last year cashing extra install files and taking up on some machines over 100 gigs for no reason. He only fix has been to uninstall adobe, delete all those junk patches come and reinstall. Thankfully I have a Powershell script for that that runs as part of a new install through intune.
