I think i figured it out. The English US language selection does not give you a 64 bit DL. Unfortunately, I had to use the all languages MUI installer which is twice the size of the 32 bit version i first attempted. It works, but 1GB for an intune app. welcome to adobe enterprise standards i guess.

This information might help
To install Adobe Reader using MSI files, you need to download offline installer for Adobe reader from here Adobe Reader Enterprise . After Downloading, unzip de exe file with 7zip or WinRAR. Inside of folder, you will also find the msi file. You need to use the entire folder for installation, not only MSI installer.
This enterprise tool kit suggestion would also help in extracting the MSI file. Please go through it once https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/basics.html#expanding-exe-packages

Thanks and sorry for the delayed reply. It looks like the english installer for windows 10 from this link is only 32 bit. How do i get this MSI installer for 64bit adobe reader?

Hello Adobe Team
I've just downloaded (from Adobe – Verteilung von Adobe Acrobat Reader DC) and extracted (using 7Zip) the installer "AcroRdrDCx642300320201_MUI.exe".
Surprisingly the package contains an "AcroPro.msi".
But the MSP is "AcroRdrDCx64Upd2300320201_MUI.msp"
So I tried the same with the 32bit Enterprise installer (AcroRdrDC2300320201_MUI.exe).
This package contains an "AcroRead.msi" as expected.
I assume this is a mistake in the 64Bit package?
My company wants to change to the 64Bit Acrobat Reader.
Could you please double check and correct the 64Bit Acrobat Reader package?
How long will this take?

Hello,
After downloading the offline installer of Adobe Reader DC x64 (exe file) and extract its contents with 7zip, you get several files, including a msi and msp. But that standalone msi file is not the latest version of Reader DC, hence the msp file which probably contains the updates. However, I can only load a msi file in Intune, so how do I get a single msi files that corresponds to the latest version of Adobe Reader DC ?

I did it this way though I'm not sure if this has downsides. There might be better ways.
Step 1
Download the Adobe Acrobat Reader x64 installer from here
Step 2
Execute the installer on some VM or some lab machine or where ever.
Step 3
The installer first downloads a selft extracting archive to some directory in "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Adobe\"
e.g. %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Adobe\3692AC6C-26A0-43DC-A8BC-ED717DF41ABC\3C08A5C8-AF84-40C3-A120-6C0D512A129B
So you can either rename the file 3C08A5C8-AF84-40C3-A120-6C0D512A129B to 3C08A5C8-AF84-40C3-A120-6C0D512A129B.exe and start it, or extract it using 7-zip or wait till the installer extracted the files to:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\Setup\"
From there you can grab the msi installer and the other files.
Step 4
Use the files to create a package. I'm installing the up-to-date .msp with the msi (see here). Note that the msi is called acropro.msi but contains the reader. The msi can be executed like this:
msiexec /i AcroPro.msi PATCH=AcroRdrDCx64Upd2300120143.msp /QN
You might have to provide the parameter "PATCH" with the full path (instead of the simple file name, e.g.)
msiexec /i AcroPro.msi PATCH="c:\temp\AcroRdrDCx64Upd2300120143.msp" /QN
In Powershell App Deployment you can use this line:
Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path 'AcroPro.msi' -Parameters "PATCH=`"$dirFiles\AcroRead.msp`" /QN DISABLEDESKTOPSHORTCUT=1"
Add an .mst if you like.
This package is still larger than 800MB (though below 500MB if zipped).
