GenP is called a lower-quality, third-party crack, so perhaps it’s worth remembering not to bite the hand that feeds you.

After all, it’s the very same work used in the repackaged, prepatched standalone installers, credited to Uncia and CGP.

Uncia created GenP, and CGP maintains it, providing the GenP tool that allows everyone to use Adobe software for free.

Without GenP, the repackaged, prepatched standalone installers would not exist, unless someone else created another lower-quality, third-party crack for Monkrus to rely on, since he does not crack software himself and consistently depends on third parties.

Interestingly, whenever GenP is mentioned in the comments section, it is frequently dismissed as inferior and not recommended for use.

Despite this, it is effectively what Monkrus uses himself for all Adobe apps, except Acrobat, which relies on a slightly different patching method.

He states this explicitly in his own FAQ Section on all the apps torrent trackers.

Monkrus simply takes the exact same GenP prepatched files and integrates them into his repackaged, prepatched standalone installers.

So, while GenP is described as a lower-quality, third-party crack, it is nonetheless the very same work being used in his own releases.

Technical clarification regarding Acrobat:

If people are wondering why Monkrus considers his Acrobat approach different from GenP, it is because GenP does not modify one file that Monkrus now does.

Both GenP and Monkrus patch the following files: Acrobat.dll, acrodistdll.dll, and acrotray.exe. However, Monkrus (and GenP+Good) also patches an additional file: AdobeCollabSync.exe.

For most users running the default Acrobat installation, this extra file does not need to be modified. In these cases, both GenP-patched and Monkrus-prepatched builds behave the same and work as expected.

The difference becomes relevant when Acrobat is installed with the full feature set, including additional components such as Preflight and PDF/A/E/X options. In those scenarios, patching AdobeCollabSync.exe helps prevent issues and is recommended.

As a result, users who want Acrobat to be fully patched and covered regardless of installation type should patch it using GenP+Good, which includes this additional file and applies a more comprehensive set of modifications within AdobeCollabSync.exe, providing broader coverage for full-feature installations.
