Adobe Reader 8.1.2 patch planned?

Can anyone give a statement whether Adobe plans to release an incremental patch to 8.1.2 instead of the full installer? For Adobe Acrobat 8 they offer one. I would prefer to not deploy a full package for each security fix.

Not to make excuses or anything but, it's more than a security patch.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3.3 patch issue

    Thus far I have been completely unable to install the Adobe Reader 9.3.3 update on my Win7 Pro x86 machines. Has anyone successfully pushed this update bundle to Windows 7 as of yet?
    The Adobe Reader 9.3.2 patch came down from patch management with no issues for a couple of months with no issues and have been using in my environment ever since. Got around to deploying 9.3.3 and can't get it to go at all.

    Thank you for replying, I appreciate it. Every couple of days I just keep checking patch management to see maybe an udpates 9.3.3 package. As it is right now the 9.3.3 Reader update is completely non-functional for me. Yes, even after pressing the magic button and starting from scratch.
    I've also been having some issues with patch management as well lately. My other big issue is the latest Flash update sometimes (randomly) uninstalls flash but never ever reinstalls it. Having to manually re-install Flash because the automatic method we are implementing to update Flash uninstalled the product is.... embarassing.
    I'm currently very happy that I use WSUS for my MS updates, there is no way I could deal with this kind of occasional broken-ness for OS updates.

  • Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file

    Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file ? My vulnerability reports show these installations are not patched when they really are.

    Hi All,
    I also facing the same issue with Adobe reader 9.5.4 version update.
    Previous Version installed: 9.5.3
    AcroRd32.exe - File Version 9.5.3.305
    AcroRd32.dll - File version 9.5.3.305
    After update installation to 9.5.4, add or remove program shows latest version but exe and dll is not updated. Vulnerability assessment tools based on file version check identifies patch is still missing. Becomes a HEAD ACHE.
    Adobe Reader 9 > Help > About Adobe Reader 9 - First shows version 9.5.4, if your click on it instead of showing AGM version next it shows version 9.5.3.305.
    I tested for all previous versions of 9x, works fine in each update. Seems like patch is missing codes for updating file versions.
    Waiting for an acknowledgement.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.08 patch on FTP site corrupt

    Just an fyi it looks like the 11.0.08 patch is corrupt on the FTP site. The file size is only 124kb and it will not apply if you download it. Link is below:
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/11.x/11.0.08/misc/

    Hi Johnathon
    From the information provided by you it seems you have Adobe Reader installed on your machine.
    The ftp link you have shared is of Acrobat patch. The size of the patch is indeed 124KB only and we have verified that the patch downloads and installs fine from the above mentioned location.
    The reason the patch is failing at your end is because you are trying to apply Acrobat patch over Reader installation. Please download and install the Reader patch from here ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.08/misc/
    Please note: This update requires that Adobe Reader 11.0.7 is installed on your system.To determine which version you have currently installed, choose Help > About Adobe Reader. After verifying you have the requisite version installed, download and install the patch from the link mentioned above.
    Regards,
    Rohit

  • How do I make sure Adobe Reader has been correctly patched?

    Before Patching
    Adobe Reader version 9.3.0 installed through GPO has been running on WinXP Pro SP3 without a problem for months
    Patching Method
    I copied the following files to local C:\V932 folder:
    AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi (original v9.3 MSI installation file)
    AdbeRdrUpd932_all_incr.msp (the downloaded patch file released in April 2010)
    then I used the following command:
    msiexec /a AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd932_all_incr.msp
    The Result
    - AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi file gets updated to the date and time the above command was executed
    - 4 new folders created (Common, CommonAppData, Program Files and Windows)
    I then created a new shared folder (\\servername\AdbeRdr932) on the server and copied the whole content of C:\V932 to that shared folder. After that, I created a new GPO package to upgrade version 9.3.0
    Rebooted my Windows XP Pro machine and the upgrade went successfully. When I check Help - About, it shows that I have 9.3.2
    Here's the problem:
    When I compare Adobe related files in the following folders, some files do not match:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader
    and
    \\servername\AdbeRdr932\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader
    For example:
    Properties of AcroRd32.exe in C drive shows File version 9.3.0.148
    Properties of AcroRd32.exe in the shared folder shows File version 9.3.2.163
    There are some other files (DLL, EXE) that do not match. The files in C: drive is older than those on the shared network folder. Now I'm not sure what to trust, the version info shown in Adobe Reader Help - About or the file version info.
    To those who deploy Adobe Reader version 9.3.2 through GPO, do you see the same problem?

    As you said -
    When I check Help - About, it shows that I have 9.3.2
                        and          
    Properties of AcroRd32.exe in C drive shows File version 9.3.0.148
    These two statements tell the whole story.
    Try out one thing - Go to help-->About .. I know you have done this and on this splash screen it shows 9.3.2....that's fine
                     Now take the mouse pointer to the position on splash screen where 9.3.2 is written and click
    After clicking you will see a different version string. I bet now you will see 9.3.0.148.
    This is what is happening behind the scenes:
    Initial version 9.3.2 is picked from a registry entry
    But when you click on the splash screen the version is picked from the AcroRd32.dll
    Unfortunately there is no straight way to make out whether Reader has been correctly patched or not because sometimes version in splashscreen is expected to change after click (if changes are going only in files other than AcroRd32.dll)
    In your case the installation of Reader 9.3.2 is corrupt because the way you are creating an AIP is wrong.
    Follow these steps to create an AIP and then deploy it via GPO:
    Perform administrative installation
    1. Copy the Reader 9.3 msi installer to your machine.
    2. Create a distribution point (a folder where the installer can install the uncompressed
    program files).
    3. Click Start, click Run, and then enter the following command:
      msiexec /a <path of Reader9.3.msi>
    4. When you receive a prompt asking where to install the files, browse to the distribution point
    you created in step 2.
    5. Click OK. When the installer finishes, all files will be at the distribution point.
    Also AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi is also present at the distribution point.(This msi is used in step 7 below)
    To add patches to the administrative installation:6. Copy the Reader 9.3.2 msp patch on your machine.
    7. Click Start, then click Run, and then type CMD.
    At the command prompt, type the following:
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Reader 9.3.2.msp> 
    After installation is successfull you can copy this folder (distribution point) to any server and create GPO package.
    So it's a two step process.
    You were trying to do this in one step! and this is where you were going wrong.

  • Adobe Reader for Playbook

    Just another voice about the Adobe Reader for Playbook.
    I plan on using Playbook for meetings where  I need to flip through large files rapidly and back and forth.
    The version of Adobe Reader on my Playbook is very slow to load the pages, flipping is difficult and frequently ends up closing the App ,and it does not allow the rapid selection of a particular set of pages to return to without flipping through the 25 preceding pages -  not useful for the type of work I am doing.
    Is there a newer version of the Reader for Playbook that will let me do what I need to do?
    Halafi

    Agreed, Reader for PlayBook should have all the regular reader features.

    Scott

    I tried the script it seems easy enough but.  It says my Adobe Reader version is at 9.1.1 but when I go into add/remove programs the 9.1.1 update is not in there for me to add or remove.  When I click the .msp file and install it, it appeared in the add/remove programs section in control panal.  If the program says its updated, is it really updated if its not in add/remove programs?

  • Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro updates for 11.0.10 being pushed out through SolarWinds Patch Manager are not being recognized as applicable.

    I am trying to update our Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro to 11.0.10 using the default MSP packages with SolarWinds Patch Manager.  All of the systems keep reporting as 'NOT APPLICABLE'.  All of the workstations have Reader11.0.09, with about 10% still on 11.0.08 (due to the fact that the reader 11.0.09 package only patched about 2/3 of the systems).  All systems that have Acrobat Pro are 11.0.09.
    In SolarWinds I am using the "Adobe Systems, Inc. Packages" node.
    Adobe Systems Acrobat 11 Catalog
    Adobe Systems Reader 11 Catalog
    and the SW Patch Manager downloads the msp's straight from Adobe.
    I have checked the msp's manually and they will update at least back to 11.0.07 in Reader, and 11.0.0 in Acrobat Pro. (I had an old stand alone system that still had Reader 11.0.07, and I did a new install of Pro and went straight to update 11.0.10)
    The SolarWinds Tech said, "Okay. That content is produced by Adobe. Any questions concerning applicability logic or diagnosing why a package reports as NotApplicable when that's not expected would need to be directed to Adobe, as they are solely responsible for that content and its behavior".
    I am new to SolarWinds Patch Manager, and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It sounds like you are attempting to use the SCUP catalogs outside of the MS solution.  I can almost guarantee you that Adobe didn't test it if it's not referenced in the ETK:  11   SCCM-SCUP — Enterprise Administration Guide
    That being said there "should" be logging available in any deployment solution.   Since I am not familiar with Solar-Winds particular solution I can't say if it logs errors and how verbose those logs might be.    If you have logs then post the output and the forum members "might" be able to assist you.

  • Are there any plans to add Measuring and Rotation tools into Adobe Reader for iPad. Currently using V11.2.0 (86952)

    We need to provide our planning officers with io site access to plans via iPads.  Whilst they can view the plans in .pdf format via Adobe Reader, they need to be able to rotate and measure whilst on site.

    For Adobe Reader, the stated features are highly unlikely but you might want to fill the feature request form at: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
