Suggestion for inventorying Adobe Acrobat edition by SWIDTAG

I'm not convinced yet whether this is reliable, as I've found machines with multiple SWIDTAG files for Acrobat and Adobe say themselves that they're not definitive: "Software ID tags are simply a crucial piece to the SAM (Software Asset Management) and deployment infrastructure that aids in asset and inventory management."

But it would be really cool if PDQ Inventory could gather the relevant values from these XML files (including the product id, serial number & channel type) to help us tell whether we have Acrobat standard or professional edition and whether it's a perpetual or subscription licence.

More info on Adobe's use of ISO/IEC 19770-2:2009 software identification tags can be found at:
