Adobe Updater overloads data line while updating from Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 to 8.1.3

Hello
I'm from germany but I'm doing my best to get you understanding me.
I'm experiencing some problems updating Adobe Reader from version 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 in our company. Our users have no administrative rights on their PCs and therefore are not able to install any update manually. That's why I want to use the Adobe Updater.
We're also using a proxy which doesn't allow our users to download any *.exe files. I configured Adobe Updater to search for Adobe Reader updates once a month.
But then from time to time our data line was fully overloaded. When I checked the logfiles of our proxy I mentioned that Adobe Updater tried to reach ardownload.adobe.com for more than 1500 times in only 3 hours from only 1 PC. This means that nearly every 7 seconds ardownload.adobe.com has been contacted by one PC. When I deactivated Adobe Updater the problem was solved. So it seems to me, that Adobe Updater is the reason why our data line get's more and more loaded by this update function.
What is happing during the discovery of available updates and wherefore does Adobe Updater tries to download the same file for more than 1500 times? Does anyone have an answer to this? If you have any proposal to solve this problem I would be glad if you answer me. And let me add that I don't want to grant our users access for downloading .exe files :-)
Thanks so much
Macke

The latest release of the Adobe Updater has fixes for networking with proxy servers. If you aren't running the latest (because it can't connect), you can manually download and then install the Adobe Updater for Reader & Acrobat 8 from the URLs below.

  • WIN8.1 crashes while printing from Acrobat reader

    My PC crashes while printing from Reader. I installed the actual Driver for my Printer and repaired the Reader-Installation.
    I can print without Problems with other applications.
    Can anybody help me ?? Thank you !!

  • PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

    I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet.  The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is  trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17.  I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI.  I did double check for updates on both products and installed them.  Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?  If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

    Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
    In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
    1) Click ADVANCED
    2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
    3) Set DPI to 300
    4) Click OK
    5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

  • Printing from Acrobat Reader 9.1

    I can not print from Acrobat Reader 9.1 to my HP printer connected wirelessly to my Mac. I can print fine from any other software on my Mac. Tips and suggestions are welcome!

    I'm having the same issue. It all started after upgrading to 10.5.7 and Adobe Acrobat to 8.1.5.
    I have an HP Photosmart C7280 and I am able to print via WiFi from all applications except Acrobat (version 8). However, Acrobat will print 1 page documents, but nothing longer.
    At first I thought it was the 10.5.7 update. I saw in some other places that downloading and installing the combo update worked better for some folks. I did that, but still no joy.
    I did the "Reset Printing System..." thing in system preferences and added the HP back. Still no joy.
    I uninstalled and re-installed the HP software (drivers and all). Still no joy.
    I uninstalled Acrobat and re-installed from CD so I was back to version 8.0. Still no joy.
    I have not re-upgraded Acrobat to 8.1.5, but I don't have high hopes.
    I wondering where the fix will come from. Hard to say that the problem is exclusively Adobe... made two changes to my system (OS upgrade and Acrobat upgrade). I have seen folks that dropped back to 10.5.6 and the problem persisted for them. I don't want to go back to 10.5.6 as I don't have that kind of time.
    Printing from Preview for now.

  • Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader

    Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader - any file,  any time (Win 7, Adobe many versions until recent).
    Copy works, but causes a needless and useless error message that has to be clicked away every time.
    This problem is published on the web for a million times without a working solution. And even in the Adobe forum no qualified answer (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441370)
    When can I expect a solution?

    Of course not.
    But thank you anyway, I talked to my admin and we changed the whole company to Foxit.
    It can be that easy.

  • Calling custom COM-based library from Acrobat/Reader javaScript

    Hi All,
    is ist possible to extend the javascript object model? For example, is it possible to call a custom COM-based library from Acrobat/Reader using javaScript. Or is their a diffrent way to call third part libs?
    Thanks
    CommanderPeek

    I need a Reader Integration to a document management system (DMS). The user should interact from Reader GUI with the DMS.
    Nobody is able to give me binding statement, if my customer (this company need plugin for internal use only) will get the Adobe Reader Integration Key License/digital certificate for such a Reader plugin and how high the costs will be. I wait and wait for Adobes’ Feedback :-(
    For this reason I check a different solution with Javascript but I have no idea how to make calls to the DMS from Javascript. On other side are COM- or .Net-based libraries available.

  • PDFs not printing from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8

    PDF don't print from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. The same PDFs print from Preview. I've tried many PDF from various sources (over a dozen including those created on my Mac) in every case they print fro Preview and not from Reader.
    I'm currently on OS 10.4.7 but This has been an issue for some time and I believe was the case with Reader 7.0.7.

    FIXED!

    Interesting that the only issue was printing from Acrobat Reader and that this fixed it. Probably deleted and "rewrote" whatever file was at issue.

  • Can not longer print pdf from Acrobat Reader

    All of a sudden I can no longer print pdf files to my printer.  It is shared by all the computers in our household and any time I try to print from any of the computers now, instead of printing it creates a prn file instead.  I can find no option in the printer properties where selecting or deselecting something to enable or disable printing to files.  All the systems are either MS Vista or Windows 7.  Though there are commands that allow sending a prn to a network printer, they require a named print server, which we don’t have on our peer-to-peer network.
    It is interesting that I can create a pdf file in Photoshop on my system and it will print from Photoshop.  I can also print the “problematic” documents for Photoshop, which I only have on one system. But anything created in Acrobat will not print natively from Acrobat reader.

    In the Print dialog click on Advanced, then uncheck Print to File.

  • How to Update the data in R/3 From BW

    Hi All ,
         I Need some suggestion . i want to update the data of MARC table in R/3 from BW . Here data goes from BW to R/3 . so How to do this ? . There are no standard BAPI's in BW for this .
    Thanks
    Prithvi.

    Hi,
    The scenario you are explaining is little opposite to what happens generally. Are you sure, you want to update R/3 from BW?
    If you have to update MARC table that means you have to extend the material for different plants. Try using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA.

  • Stale data error while updating record

    Hi,
    While updating page getting below error.
    ++++++++++++++++++
    Error
    Unable to perform transaction on the record.
    Cause: The record contains stale data. The record has been modified by another user.
    Action: Cancel the transaction and re-query the record to get the new data.
    ++++++++++++++++++
    - In page navigation, the setForwardURL is done without retaining the AM
    - There is no other user trying to change the values that are just created.
    - Doing pageContext.releaseRootApplicationModule(); before commit.
    - ObjectVersionNumber attribute of entity object, check the Change Indicator checkbox for this attribute.
    Still it is NOT working getting same error.
    Any idea, why this error coming.
    Thanks,
    Srikanth

    OA Framework updates the ObjectVersionNumber attribute in the generic OAEntityImpl Java class. That is, the createObjectVersionNumber(), and updateObjectVersionNumber() methods perform automatic initialization and update of these values.

  • With new updates from Acrobat Read my computer freezes and I can not fill in forms anymore, how do I fix these problems?

    After updating Acrobat Reader my computer now freezes when I try to fill in forms using Acrobat Reader, this never happen before! Now the only way to unfreeze my computer is to turn it off and restart it, which is not how a computer is suppose to be turned off as nothing responses to get it unfrozen(ESC., Contol-Alt-Delete)! The I shows up as if I am able to fill in forms, but after trying to fill in the form numerous times various ways, it always ends up freezing my computer up! I HATE THE NEW UPDATES! Why can't I speak with a live human, through Adobe? I would not want to buy anything from any company which would not allow me support by talking to a live human over the phone, as typing messages can be misunderstood! Their is no point to have Acrobat Reader any more if it does not allow me to fill in forms! I could use the reader that came with the computer! It is sad that for myself filling forms using Acrobat Reader was nice since there are times I am unable to write anything due to tremors, unfortunately I am not alone in this type of medical problem and we the disabled the majority of us are on Social Security! Everyone know that Social Security does not give their recipients enough money to live off of! It is sad when a person is ill they lose more than their livelihood, so called friends abandon you too! So how can I fix the freezing problems and is there any Adobe that I can fill in forms which will not cost me money and or another company that may offer this free of charge?

  • Send 102 bit data through the LPT port??I have to send 102 bit to my interface board using the LPT port, through one of the data line and be able to read data from the input line, I don't know how to realize such a task.Thanks

    Let me describe you the program I have to write:
    I have to send 102 bit serialy using one of the data line of the LPT port to a device and be able to read back data sent from a device register throug one one of the input port pin for instance pin 10 of a DB25, and synchronize the transmission by the PC clock(for write and read). If fact I am using 5 output control(D0...D4) signal from the LPT port, RST, TXD, CLK, CE,TEST, one input data RXD (pin10)
    So the program should work in normal mode (write data, read data), and test mode (use the write p
    rocedure). Since I am quite new in Labview I am little lost and I need some support or exemple that use a way to send more than 32 bit via one data line(in my case 102bit= 8 bit COMMAD(MSB)+88 bit SPI DATA+6 bits CRC(LSB)) and be able to read them back, place them in the register and be able either to monitor or modify them.
    I know that there are plenty of exemple but if I can gain time by being helped it would be great.
    Can you please advise?

    Hi Beni,
    find attached a SPI.vi - minor changed from one of
    my typical SPI's (LabVIEW 7.1). With some simple changes it will fit to your application.
    The only thing you need to do - prepare
    the bits for the input-array.
    If you need some more comments - find one of my email
    adresses in documentation of this vi.
    Regards

  • How do I change the default email-subject line when emailing from Acrobat 8...

    Hi,
    After creating a document in acrobat and clicking the email icon on the tool bar, Acrobat automatically opens and attaches the document to a new email message in Outlook. It also adds the file name as the subject, then appends "- Adobe Acrobat Professional". How do I remove and/or customize the default subject line appended by Acrobat Pro 8.12?
    Thanks!

    Hi, I have the same problem as Alan L. Whenever I have a file open in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and click File-> Attach to Email it creates a new Outlook message and attaches the file but does not populate the subject line with the file name. The subject line is blank. I tried to email the same PDF file from Foxit Reader and it correctly populated the subject field with the file name.
    If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks,
