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.

I got the following for Adobe Reader that there was an issue with it. C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\NPSWF32.dll file How do I fix this? Thanks.

Adobe Reader Update causes weird printing issues

I recently updated my Adobe Reader to Adobe Reader X. I have a Toshiba with Windows 7 68-bit I believe. After updating to Reader X, I noticed that when I go to print a document, the print settings in Adobe are default set to Print on both sides. I was only printing 1 page so I ignored this and just hit Print, but what happened was really bizarre. The printer printed a blank 2nd page, and then Adobe prompted me to reset my even-numbered pages in the printer to proceed with double-sided printing. If I uncheck the Print on both sides option, I have no problems, everything prints fine. I understand there's already attention called to the bug in the update that defaults the print settings to Print on both sides and has trouble saving new settings. I don't care about that. This is what bothers me: Adobe and the computer and the printer and whatever else is involved should be able to communicate properly that if only 1 page is being printed, it need not print a 2nd blank page and basically force me through the double-sided print process if there's only 1 page, right? Isn't that sort of common sense? I don't mind having to uncheck the Print on both sides option when I go to print just 1 page, but it seems ridiculous to me that I should have to.
Just so you know, I installed the same Adobe Reader X update on a much older computer with a much older printer and had the same problem.
I am wondering if this is an Adobe problem or a printer problem. Neither of the 2 printers I tried this on do doulbe-sided printing automatically. They both require manual help to print on both sides. Will printers that automatically do double-sided printing also send the page through twice even if there is no 2nd page? Then this probably wouldn't be such an issue, if the printer did the double-sided printing itself, I wouldn't care if it passed the paper through twice.
But given that not all printers are equipped with automatic double-sided printing, this then becomes a real pain if I forget to uncheck the Print on both sides button because I then have to go through this entire 2-page process for 1 page. And my printer is in a common area, not right next to my computer, so it adds a lot of back and forth trying to print just 1 page.
Also I read up on previous posts about the default Print on both sides setting, and read one employee's comment that Adobe simply retains the last default setting used for printing PDFs. This is not true. Since my printer at home does not do automatic double-sided printing, I never ever ever use any double-sided printing setting. Even when I do print on both sides, I print odd pages first, flip them over and reset them in the printer, then send a second separate job to print even pages. Same with my work printer. I understand that by defaulting to the double-sided print setting, Adobe is sort of tricking you into saving paper and that's great and all, but all printers don't do double-sided printing automatically. I ended up wasting double the amount of paper last night trying to print a document last night while figuring this out, so way to go.

Dear user,
We would request you to check your version from Help-> 'About Adobe Reader X' because we doubt that you are using an outdated version of Reader. Please update it to 10.1.3 because it was a known issue in 10.1.2 which got fixed by 10.1.3.
I would also request you to check your printer side setting from Control Panel-> Devices and Printers-> Right click Printer-> Printing Preferences-> Search for 'Print on both side or duplex printing' option (generally its under 'Finishing' tab)-> Uncheck it there if you are not using it.
Hope this will resolve your problem. Let us know the result.
Thanks

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.

Lion 10.7 & Adobe Reader 9.4.5 scrolling issue

I have a 2010 iMac i5 quad core w/ 8gb ram and 2011 macbook pro i7 quad core w/ 8gb ram . After upgrading to Lion 10.7 the scrolling in adobe reader has become choppy and slow.
On my previous OS it scrolled and moved smooth as glass. I have checked with a few friends and they are experienceing the same problem.
Adobe....can you help us out?
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
P.S. Adobe, It would be nice to be able to use the pinch to zoom and image rotate feature in adobe reader with the new track pad hand gestures in Lion.......just sayin.

Thanks. I will give it a try!

Adobe Reader 9 - multiple instances performance issue

Dear all, I am having some performance issues regarding adobe reader, but only when running multiple instances. Opening a single, relatively small pdf ( 418kb ) works perfect, but adding to the list of open flies another very small file ( 102kb ), the cpu usage jumps to cca. 53% mouse movements become jumpy and the cooling fan goes nuts. Nothing helps until the second file I've opened is closed. Closing only the first instance doesn't help at all.
This happens with any two files I've tried. Large, small, graphics or not. Hardware is not the issue.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Vince

This second file: is it one you made? Or does it happen with any
second file?
If it isn't your file, does the problem stop if you turn off
JavaScript?

Adobe Reader for Android - Arabic support issue

Dear Support,
I am trying to reach the developer for long time but the email provided is a mailing list which no one else has the right to post to it except their team.
There is a big problem with Arabic words searching in an Arabic PDF file with adobe Reader for android. To search for a word, I have to write the words backward, like instead of "Adobe" I have to write "ebodA" but in Arabic language. I know that your app developers are Indians, but please let an Arabic person show you how he can't search for a word in an Arabic PDF file. Please fix it urgently. it is very important for the Arabic language readers. Thanks for your action.

I believe fixes was made in Reader 10.1.5+ to address protected mode in Citrix.
Can you give that a try?
If you are using Citrix Provisioning Services or SCCM/SMS to deploy out versions, every version of Reader/Acrobat in the farm should be uniformally deployed. You can see the verison in the "Help" menu... "About..."
If you are using PDF through browser, you can still bring up the preferences via "Control K" when the PDF is viewed in browser context.
