The problem is that Adobe has published version '23.008.2042X' which isn't a valid version number ('X' is not a number). If you go into the page that it links to, you'll see the version number is 23.008.20421. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't publish that. The update script is picking up the November version number as it is valid and matches the regex.

If you look at every recent version they have published, you'll see they all end in a number:

I'm not going to amend the update script, as no doubt it will just need changed back again when they publish a correct version number in future. My suggestion would be to contact Adobe and ask them to publish a correct version number which is consistent with what they have done in the past.

I don't want this to sound as abrupt as it probably does. Hopefully, it doesn't come across that way.

@pauby I understand in case u don't want to update the script. But could u publish the update manually. Assuming it's just once. Because now all users won't get the latest version.

According to adobe support chat: "The latest version of Acrobat reader is 23.008.20421. The future releases will have the acrobat versions and no X mark.". I have requested them to update there docs. So maybe they will but i doubt it.

I manually updated the package to version 2023.8.2042 and tested it.

Upgrade from 2023.6.20380:
