Adobe Reader Not Updating

HP AMD dual core, running XP SP3 with IE8:
Noticed today when the Automatic Update for 9.3.4 "didn't take" that my Acrobat Reader version was still at 8.2. (dated June 30th 2010), so apparently Acrobat Reader Auto Updates had been failing since that date. I didn't notice this before because I keep this program in a "Utilities" folder on my desk top and just delete the existing link icon then move the new icon in there when it shows up. Of course today I finally saw that the new icon was really just the old version restored. Followed a few threads and saw that for the 9.3.4 you need to have 9.3.3 installed, but the link provided was an FTP site and the Windows Explorer viewing instructions gave me an "FTP site cannot be viewed in Windows Explorer" message.
Any ideas on how to get from 8.2 to 9.3.4?
The implication in the thread I was following appeared to be that that was how you had to get 9.3.3 now that this update was released, but I see that 9.3.3 is still the download version on this site. Do I need to remove 8.2 before attempting to install 9.3.3?
Also just noticed this is the DLM downloader for Reader. Is there a Manual Download available?
Thanks in advance, stillgolfing44

Thanks for the quick reply.
You may not have noticed that I had edited my post with more info/questions.
I Found 9.3.3 @ Adobe, but it is the DLM version. Is there a manual download version available?
Also do I need to remove 8.2 first and if so, is there an uninstaller that should be used or is the Windows Uninstaller O.K.?
Thanks again, stillgolfing44

  • When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

    When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

    Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

  • How to open in regular adobe reader, NOT touch?

    How do I open a pdf in adobe reader, NOT adobe reader touch, as I am on a laptop?  I dowloaded adobe reader, and uninstalled (I thought) adobe reacher touch - yet when I open a file from email - it defaults to touch which I cannot operate on a laptop.

    You can go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Default Programs, then set Adobe Reader XI as the default program.

  • Flex Mobile - PDF not displaying error - "Adobe Reader not found"

    Hi everyone,
    Is viewing PDF documents supported in Flex Mobile projects?  At the moment, I get an error saying:
    "Adobe Reader not found"
    I am converting my Adobe Air Desktop project to a Mobile project with Flashbuilder 4.5.1. Any documentation reference on how to get PDF's to view on Flex Mobile applications would greatly be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thankyou. The Central Question over this Lumia 625 inability to open a specific pdf (by Lonely Planet) remains:-I could uninstall this Adobe Reader app but think this is not the problem as this app does indeed open all other pdf's on my phone successfully, e.g. the Lonely Planet Invoice!
    On the other hand, this particular downloaded & installed pdf can be read on my home PC, my Macbook & my IpodTouch so I can't attribute fault to the filename.
    The basic Troubleshoot step of a "soft reset"  is NOT described in the Lumia 625 User Guide & I'm pessimistic this arbitrary step will bear fruit. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what I do, this Lumia model using the MIcrosoft OS has a system flaw that is unable to read the file (a file that other devices & another OS can read) & I will not waste time with ad hoc actions such as resets as this is not a hobby for me.
    The pdf in question (88Mb, Lumia free space is >3Gb)  is a travel guide I'd like to use on my next trip & this Lumia 625 is proving not worthy of coming with me. I am disappointed at the lack of "Customer Support" shown by the Nokia Company & I hope this is relayed as some "friendly feedback". Thank you for your own assistance, though.
    I invite correction if this assessment is mistaken.

  • Error msg. page "Adobe Reader not allowed"

    When I attempt to use any thing in  Adobe on line I get a message that says "Adobe Reader not allowed".  What's that mean?

    Sounds like you have software running on your system that prevents you from running Reader. Are yo using your own computer or a computer owned by an company? What OS are you running? What version of Reader?

  • I can sign into Adobe but I cannot sign  into Adobe Reader for updates

    I can sign into Adobe but my password is rejected when trying to sign into Adobe reader for updates.

    Adobe Reader won't ask you to sign in for updates. Most likely, this is just the normal adminstrator password prompt you get when installing or updating software, and you use your computer's own password.

  • Adobe Reader security update to 9.3.1 not working.

    I have updated adobe reader to 9.3.1 but in Secunia PSI it's still being reported as insecure.
    I uninstalled adobe reader completely, cleared all traces from the registry, and reinstalled 9.3.0, and let it check for updates. it said there weren't any.
    I downloaded the security fix to update it to 9.3.1 and installed it successfully.
    Adobe reader now says it's 9.3.1 in the Help About option on the help menu.
    However the Reader exe file AcroRd32.exe version is still 9.3.0.148 dated 21/12/2009, as are all the plugin files except for the Forms plugin that is version 9.3.1.203 dated 02/02/2010.
    I have since done a successful repair install of Adobe Reader, but PSI is still saying it's insecure because of the file version 9.3.0.148 for AcroRd32.exe, and the plugin files except the Forms plugin,
    Why isn't the security update to 9.3.1 updating the exe file and plugins?  Is it even working at all and fixing the critical security risks it's supposed to be fixing? It would seem all it's doing is to change the Help/About screen to read 9.3.1, and changing the Forms plugin...  
    Running on WIndows 7 home premium.

    I have same problem using Windows Vista Home Premium. Just ran Secunia and went to link and downloaded and installed 9.3.1.203, but, AcroRd31.exe still shows ver 9.3.0.148 in the Acrobe Reader files on my computer???  I do not think that the problem is solved. Apparently the update is not working correctly.

  • Adobe Reader not working after update to version XI

    I have had Adbobe Reader installed on my PC for ages and have been using this to view my PDF files without any issues. However, Adobe Reader updated automatically to version XI a few days ago. Since then, I have been completely unable to open Adobe Reader at all. The screen does not load up fully with only the top menu bar visible and the remainder a blank grey screen with all menu options inactive or greyed out, and sometimes crashes and closes automatically after a few seconds. I am unable to view any PDF file, even those which I previous viewed with no issues. I have tried running the Adober Cleaner tool but this has not helped. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader numerous times with no success. I have also tried reinstalling previous versions of Adober Reader but have idential issues with these too. I have tried checking system compatability using the troubleshooter tool but this appears to be fine, and have also tried disactivating my AntiVirus/firewall software (Norton 360). I am running a Windows 7 operating system in English (UK). Any help gratefully received as Adobe will not offer telephone assistance as this is freeware! Thanks in advance.

    You may have given up by now..  I just hope this advice helps some other user..
    Have encountered this isssue several times..     
    several points I will note: of the machines I have worked on to date: only 1 did not have malware, all thus far have been 64bit Win7 and it seems after update to Reader 11.03..
    but each so far I have:
    - Checked for and removed any malware and or strange BHO's and Toolbars
    - cleared all temp files including temporary internet
    - removed Adobe reader and ANY OTHER PDF READER and reinstalled Adobe reader
    - Checked that PDF's are associating with Adobe reader (sounds silly )
    - Started the PC in Safe Mode - check reader works
                                                 - Disabled Protected Mode in preferences: then disabled antivirus, along with most startup services and applications
                                                 - restarted in normal mode - Check PDF opens normally: 100% of time for me it worked
                                                 - re-enabled the anti-virus - restarted PC and rechecked
                                                 - re-enable services and applications by group - restart and retest
    So far that is all that I have needed to do.
    All the best
