Description

The manifest for `Adobe.Acrobat.Pro` has `ProductCode` defined in the manifest - https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/1479f5692d6a4deed6fa15a0dc1ab2c15290b293/manifests/a/Adobe/Acrobat/Pro/25.001.20756/Adobe.Acrobat.Pro.installer.yaml#L84

However, the index (`source2.msix`) published Monday, October 20, 2025 17:11:09 GMT does not contain the `ProductCode` in the `productcodes2` table. This was found by extracting `index.db` from `source2.msix`, opening it in a database browser, and running an SQL query to check the product codes for `Adobe.Acrobat.*`

Research direction

Start with the linked Adobe.Acrobat.Pro.installer.yaml manifest and the extracted index.db from source2.msix. Inspect the productcodes2 table and the index-building path to determine why the declared ProductCode is omitted. Done means the published index contains the manifest's ProductCode and the result can be verified with the provided SQL query.
