Adobe Acrobat automatic update

Acrobat automatically downloaded an update that I don't want to install. How do I keep the update that is already downloaded to my computer from installing. There is a pop up window that asks me if I want to install the update. I would like to delete the file and not have it install. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Try doing it manually... Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER

Adobe Acrobat Automatic Update Issues

Acrobat Automatic Update and Virus Threat

Hey Everyone:
I have a quick question I was hoping someone could answer for me. I was tricked by some malware/spyware a few months ago by a program that passed itself off as an Adobe Acrobat Automatic Updater. Still not sure where I got it from.
Anyhow, I was wondering if I should completely avoid Automatic Updaters and come straight to Adobe for the updates, or is there a step that I can take to assure that I know the updater is legitimate.
This is probably an oversimplistic question, but I am very apprehensive about ALL automatic updaters now.
Thanks in advance for any help,

If you get a notice, then go to the help menu in Acrobat and use the check for updates there. You can also go to Adobe.com>downloads and select the updates under the reader link in the upper right of the screen. If you do the latter manual update, you have to download all updates after the version you have and install them in order.

How do I get Adobe Acrobat to update automatically?

When I open a pdf I get a message that says, "Adobe Acrobat Updater has not been able to update in a while". Then it gives me the option to click a link to search for a problem online. I end up with a million update options but have no idea which one to click on. How do I get it to update automatically?

Duplex is a property of the printer and by itself Acrobat cannot globally set the attribute.
You might create (install) a second instance of the printer and name it accordingly - "Duplex Printer"

Where can I download Adobe Acrobat 9 updates? (Automatic updater says no update available. Adobe Acrobat is on version 9.0)

I can find update files for version 10 but not 9.
Google search results that would seem to link to the download I need, get to a web page that says forbidden.

Solved!
Since Acrobat 9.2 and up are officially compatible with Windows 7, and therefore Acrobat 9 is likely still in wide scale use, I knew that the actual IT guys at Adobe would never delete the actual patch files off their servers (being an IT guy myself).
So even if the website got changed and no longer provides the links, and even if the "support" idiots that answer the phone in India can't figure out anything past "its not supported, and the website doesn't provide it", all that is needed is to find a 3rd party website that links to the actual patch files instead of linking to Adobe's download partal.
So after wading through about 20 pages of Google's search results, I finally found one here: Article: Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1 - The Path of Least Resistance | ITNinja

Acrobat automatic update 3/24/09

Well I am at my wits end with CS3.Really, I have had it. When I first installed CS3 and ran all the updates (like last year) I had a world of trouble, uninstalled, repaired, reinstalled, PDF maker wasn't coming up in other applications, Photoshop and Illustrator would open but you couldn't open any file, and on and on it went . I called Tech support and of course, since CS4 has come out, you have to PAY for support for CS3 Great :-(
I was told it was far easier to just start over and make a new User account (yes I am running Vista 32bit) which I did and viola, everything works. So I am told by tech support it would be far easier to just move my things over to the new user then to hunt and peck and try to find the problem. It was alot of work moving everything from one user to another, lost all my settings in other programs that I use, yada yada.
But basically all was fixed and all the programs in CS3 now work.
Well Monday I get an automatic update for Acrobat 8 Professional and like a STUPID FICKIN IDIOT I went ahead and installed the dam thing. I am now kicking myself all over this office.
you guessed it, now I can't get my PDF convertor to make any PDFs thru any of the applications (Word, Publisher, etc) Error message is that the port for the PDF printer is missing.
So I find a thread here and go in and uninstall Acrobat 8.l.4 that the update did and then reinstalled and GUESS WHAT HAPPENS.? Yup, totally screws up all the CS3 programs YET AGAIN. All the PDF converters disappear totally from the apps, can't open files in Photoshop or Illustrator.
I am BEYOND PISSED. it takes forever to uninstall this dam bloated goat of a software suite, and I have a stack of documents that I need to convert to PDF tonight.
You know, if I could get my hands on the SOMEONE from Adobe right now, I could wring their neck until their EYEBALLS pop out of their heads, because that is how PISSED I am.
IF ANYONE has any ideas please let me know.
Should I attempt to reinstall CS3 back into the same user or should I just make a new user account again.
Sincerely
Super Frustrated VERY ANTI ADOBE USER

One key for Adobe products is to install while logged in as the administrator. I do not know what your problem is, but I have no problem with AA8. It seems from past posts that there is an issue with the CS installations. For some reason several folks have had problems with Acrobat through that route, but I don't remember if there was a solution offered.

Why does the Adobe Acrobat DC Update Fail on a Mac Running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2?

I don't have Adobe Acrobat installed anymore, yet CC is still telling me I need to update Adobe Acrobat DC. When I try to update it, it gets to 35% and fails, every time. I've tried quitting and reopening CC; quitting CC, deleting the OOBE folder in my profile, and reopening CC. Regardless, it fails. Here's the output:
Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW013 ...
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------

Hi,
Could you please retry after restarting the system. This should be fixed now.
If this issue does not get resolve even after restart then please share the following details :
1. Operating System information.
2. Do you have any previous version of Acrobat installed?
3. Share PDApp.log file from ~/Library/Logs, Acrobat Installer logs (Adobe Setup Error.log and Adobe Acrobat DC 15.007.20033 <Date>.log.gz) from /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers and install.log from /var/log.
4. proxy.xml if present in /tmp/58A66F1A-A7D8-4523-AC9C-AF23DB3337F3/proxy.xml .
Thanks,

Major Problem Downloading Adobe Acrobat Latest Update

I am unable to download the recent version of Adobe Acrobat. It looks like it is downloading until the end and then it says there is an error and the update was unsuccessful. The notice that a new addition of Adobe Update keeps appearing on m,y screen when I turn it on, but every time I try to download it, the download fails. I've never had a problem with an Adobe download before, so I don't know what is wrong.
When I click for "details" about the update I get something that looks like this:
Feb 8 2011
10.0.1
Q
Latest release
Numerous security fixes as well as improvements to Protected Mode, QTP support, Flash, and support for SCCM via newly released SCUP catalogs.
I think it says error has something to do with this file:
\file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/NPSWF32.dll
I've read about similar problems, about I.E. 68 bit and changing that and I have no idea what that is or how to do it. Usually I use Firefox (and it crashes frequently).   I have no idea how to fix this problem.   This is the only time I have ever had difficulty installing from Adobe.
The error is I do not have permisssion to the file.   I've checked my permissions and I have signed in as an administrater to no avail. I should have permission to the files.   The advice I received was to do this:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust\AcrobatConnect.cfg
and check my permission there. Problem is, I do not see "Flash Player Trust." It appears nowhere in the folder or elsewhere. So this may be part or all of the problem. Here is what my Folder looks like:
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/NPSWF32.dll
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/FlashUtil10n_Plugin.exe
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.exe
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/flashplayer.xpt
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/FlashInstall.log
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/Flash10l.ocx
I have looked for a download for the Flash Player trust, but I cannot find one.
Any advice? Please write advice in layman's or laywoman's terms, as otherwise I will not understand it.   I am not a computer wiz -- I just tend to do what the computer tells me to. I have tried System Restore to no avail.
I have System 7, professional. I use Firefox, but I do also have I.E. (not 68 or 64-bit or whatever) installed. I don't use them both at once. I mostly use only Firefox (but it has been crashing all the time recently).
I posted this issue on the Adobe discussion board, but was told I might find the answer here. Can anyone help me? I am lost trying to figure this out -- the apparently missing file, the download error that I don't have permission to open the file...
I don't know about the AVG virus or the download hoax -- I've checked for viruses -- I have AVG, Windows Defender, and Anti-Spyware (with virus protection).
Please write advice in layman's terms, as otherwise I will not understand it. I have System 7, professional. I use Firefox, but also have I.E. (not 68 or 64-bit or whetever) installed. I don't use them both at once.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Which error message are you receiving? Also what operating system are you using?

Adobe Acrobat DC Update Failed

Hi,
I have a big problem with updating to Adobe Acrobat DC (Windows 8.1, 64 bit); I am trying to install it since three days now. When installing out of the CCInstaller, the following error appears:
=================================================================
Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR:
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s)
----------- Payload: Adobe Acrobat DC 15.7.20033.0 Adobe Acrobat\Setup.exe_15.007.20033 -----------
ERROR: Third party payload installer Adobe Acrobat\Setup.exe failed with exit code: 1603
=================================================================
I already tried all of these recommended steps: Error 1603: A fatal error occurred during installation, but it did not work. I also tried to install it via the direct DCInstaller, but there is is always an error when installing. Sometimes this one:
(Installation failure of the Acrobat License Module. Possible solutions under http://...)
Sometimes this one:
It's really frustrating... Any additional idea?
Thanks very much in advance,
Henrik

Same problem here! I just want to install Acrobat DC and I get the same problem, but my old acrobat version (Acrobat XI Pro still working). Are you really mean that with this 'installation of Microsoft Visual Studio' it will work. I can't effort that my acrobat don't work any longer. Thanks!
Here are some steps worth trying. Looks like your Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Run-time installation is corrupt.
I found that following steps work if you're getting error:
"Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action InstallWebResources, location c:\program files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat\AcrpCEF\AcroServicesUpdater.exe"
Try following steps and it should work:
1) Goto Download Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Official Microsoft Download Center and click Download.
2) Select vcredist_x86.exe and download the package.
3) If you're on a 64 bit machine navigate to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\" else navigate to "C:\Windows\System32" on 32 bit machines. If "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" folder exists then you're on a 64 bit machine.
4) Search for msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll and rename both files. Don't delete them so that just in case vcredist_x86.exe package fails to install you can rename them back.
5) Now double click vcredist_x86.exe and install it. After installation completes check that msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll are now installed back. You can delete the files that you renamed in step above now. Don't delete msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll
6) Install Acrobat through CC Installer and it should install now without complain.

Adobe Reader Automatic Updates - modifying

Is it possible to re-direct Adobe Reader to an address on our internal network for updates rather than going out to adobe.com? Our policies and network restrictions do not allow users to perform the updates themselves so we are releasing new versions as SMS packages. We'd like to simplify the process by having Adobe reader look to an internal server for updates.
Any advice or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
Paul

I doubt this is possible as it could be a security on its own. However, you should be able automate the updating process on your own without changing Adobe Reader's internal settings (other than to have automatic updating turned off). Alas, I'm not capable of telling you how to do it, but people have done it previously. You might try a search on the forums (through Google, not the forum search )

Adobe Acrobate 10 updates set computer to previous system restore point

I just installed the update for Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro and realized that the update put my computer to a restore point from the previous week. Unfortunately I had installed critical updates to other software last week, all of which were not captured in that restore point. I now have to go through and reinstall the updates. I am wondering why this happened and whether or not this is something I will have to contend with everytime the software updates?
