Applying Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Security Patch on top of Adobe Pro 7.x

Hi,
Our firm has a number of users running Adobe Standard and Professional 7.x. These users also have Adobe Reader 8 installed simultaneously as well.
According to the Adobe security bulletin below, the security patch for Adobe Standard and Professional 7.x will not be released until May 2008:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa08-01.html
Question: if we deployed Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (which addresses the same security vulnerabilities mentioned in the above link) on top of Adobe Standard and Professional 7.x, will the vulnerability be fixed? The businesses will not be upgrading to Adobe Standard / Professional 8.1.2.
Thank you,
Roland Thomas

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

Secunia Software Inspector Reporting Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Security Update 1 Missing

After deploying Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Security Update 1 to all of our managed computers, I ran a vulnerability scan using Secunia Software Inspector (http://secunia.com/software_inspector) and it is reporting that Adobe Reader is insecure (it is version 8.1.0.137) and references Secunia advisory SA30832 (http://secunia.com/SA30832). Specifically it reports that C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe is version 8.1.0.137, which it is. However, running Adobe Reader and selecting Help \ About Adobe Reader 8... from the menu reports that Adobe Reader is version 8.1.2. And selecting Help \ Check for Updates... from the menu reports "There are no updates available at this time." Shavlik NetChk also does not report Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Security Update 1 as missing.
The security bulleting from Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-15.html) does not contain sufficient information to know if the security update has been correctly applied (there is no manifest of files with versions and dates to check).
It appears to me that the file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe is not sufficient to determine the version of the installed Adobe Reader, that the update to Adobe Reader 8.1.2 does not update the version of this file, and that Adobe Security Update 1 does not update this file. Therefore, I suspect that Secunia Software Inspector is incorrectly reporting that Adobe Reader is vulnerable. However, without details from Adobe about what file are updated and what versions they should be, I cannot be sure.
How can I be sure that Adobe Reader is not vulnerable (it is fully up-to-date)?

July 9 2008 When I run secunia inspector I am still getting a message that I have an earlier version of Adobe Reader installed though I have 8.1.2 including the security update for 8.1.2 installed. Here is what I get:
(quote)
This installation of Adobe Reader 8.x is insecure and potentially exposes your system to security threats!
The detected version installed on your system is 8.1.0.137, however, the latest secure version released by the vendor, fixing one or more vulnerabilities, is 8.1.2.215.
Update Instructions:
Update to Adobe Reader 8.1.2.215 and apply Security Update 1.

I adobe acrobat 7.0 professional. When I open or save a PDF it reverts to Adobe Reader XI. How can I change that to the pro as it has far more editing options.

You may want to keep Reader. You may want to select Acrobat as your default, but be able to click on a PDF (or PDF link) to open in Reader when needed. There are likely some PDFs that will not open correctly in AA 7 because of new features folks add. Just because it opens in Reader XI does not mean it is in the new format, but just that is the default opening you have. To tell the type of file, you have to open the PDF and check the properties (ctrl-D) and check Description>PDF version.

Adobe Reader X (10.1.1) Invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit.

This is the second time this has happen.
My system consists of the following:
PC running Windows 7 w/64bit
When I try to open a .pdf Iget a pop-up within 10 seconds say Invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit.
I paid the $39.00 from tech support to get this fixed in Aug. 2011 and now it's back.
I have gone through all the Adobe hoops and nothing has worked.

Hi,
Do you have any 3rd party plugin installed for Adobe Reader? If not, close all running instances of Adobe Reader and delete the entire folder at: C:\program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\plug_ins.
Now goto Control Panel > Programs and Features. Locate the entry for Adobe Reader X and chose to repair the installation.
If you do have a 3rd party plugin installed, try uninstalling them and see if the issue is related to the same. If it works, do let me know which plugins were causing the issue so that I can have a look.
Hopefully, this should fix things.
Thanks

I uninstalled Adobe Air and Adobe Reader and now I cannot reinstall them on the Adobe web site. I go thru the steps on Adobe site and never get a popup to RUN any programs.

Internet connection
I have just downloaded that installer (on Windows 7, using Pale Moon), and the download completed within less than 10 seconds. And I am some 10,000km away from the Adobe download servers.
Can you try a different browser?
Can you download anything to your computer, e.g. from Microsoft?

Do I have to buy Acrobat before I can get Adobe Reader? I have an ID and password for Adobe, but when I try to download Adobe Reader it asks me for a password I don't have.

You do. Your system is either Windows or Mac (or maybe a couple of other less popular choices) and a version of one or the other.
When you set up your machine, you were asked for an administrator user name and password. You need both of these to install software.

The "Adobe Reader 11.0.08 security update - All languages" is not working with "Adobe Reader 11.0 - Multilingual (MUI) installer" using msiexec when creating an msi package. is there going to be a release of Adobe Reader 11.0.08 update - Multilingual (MUI

Is it possible to create an msi package if the product you are upgrading is Multilingual (MUI) and the update(msp) you are applying is not Multilingual (MUI) but "All languages"?

Please download the latest Adobe Reader patch from the below mentioned location, it will work with MUI installer.

Issues with downloading Adobe Acrobat 8.3.1 Security Patch

Hi,
I am having issues downloading Adobe Acrobat 8.3.1 update security patch. I go to the Download Now & click on it, that brings up the File Download, where it states do you want to open or save and I click on the open and that brings up a window, showing the earth at one end, files being copied to a temporary file, but the percent of files being sent stays at 0 and there is no green bars on the status bar.
What is going on please? I was able to download the security patch for Adobe Reader 8.3.1, but the Acrobat isn't working.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi,
I am able to download the update file without any problem on my machine.
There may be some network glitch when you were last downloading the file. Try it once again. (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5239&fileID=4877)
However, if you still face any issues, download the file from here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/8.x/8.3.1/misc/

When will we get the Adobe Reader 11.0.05 MUI patch?

Hi,
We are currently trying to set up an automated installation of Adobe Reader 11 on our SCCM system, using the MUI installer. We have created corresponding MSP and MST files, and it all works fine.
Our problem is that the latest MUI patch is 11.0.04, and not 11.0.05, meaning that we do not get the latest security updates. The 11.0.04 patch dates back to late September last year, so we kinda expected the 11.0.05 to have arrived by now.
Any release dates?
Best regards, Jan.

Hi,
We tried the installations from scratch today, but still encounter problems.
This is what we do:
1. msiexec /i AdbeRdr11000_mui_std\acroread.msi TRANSFORMS=acroread.mst /passive
2. msiexec /update AdbeRdrUpd11004_MUI.msp /passive
3. msiexec /update AcrobatSecUpd11005.msp /passive
Items 1 and 2 work fine. The installation conforms to the MST file and the version ends up being 11.0.04 MUI. When we try to run the security update, it fails. I only have a Danish version of the text, but it basically says it cannot install because the program being updated is a wrong version or cannot be found.
Any clues?
Best regards, Jan.

Adobe's certificate used for security patch expired

I was advised to install a security patch for Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.07 --> 11.0.08). But when verifying Adobe's certificate of the downloaded file I realized that the signature has expired already. How can I trust in a security patch which hasn't got a valid signature? Did they hack Adobe's website?

No. Please see a detailed response here:
latest update reader installed today (8/13/14) 11.0.08 but certificate expired 7/25/14. Is it okay?

Adobe Reader Crashes while opening Secure PDF Documents

Hi,
I have Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Up until today, i was able to open secure PDF documents without any issue. Suddenly, it started to give me errors, saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and it needs to close. I have to tell Microsoft" and so on...
I tried re-installing 8.1.0, secure documents opened a few times and then the same problem returned. I can open normal PDF documents but the problem is with the secure ones.
Rebooting, re-installing again didn't help.
What could be the issue and how to solve it? I have Trend Micro Antivirus s/w but i always had them all these days and everything was fine.
Thanks
anand

Hi,
Can someone help me on this please?
I have tried removing Adobe Reader, re-install it but doesn't help. Secure documents do open sometimes but fail again. I have even tried removing Adobe Reader using MSI Cleanup Utility, no use.
The problem seems to be in the imapdb.dll. An error report is generated by Windows XP but it is rather large to fit in here.
I also Trend Micro Anti-Virus tool and it may have something to do with it is what i feel.
Any help on how to solve this will be great.
Thanks

Website pdf won't open with Preview - requires Adobe Reader. How do I force iMac to use Adobe for this particular website?

I need to access a tax form from my state's tax website. The site will not allow Mac Preview to open any pdfs on the site. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader downloaded on my iMac which is using Mac OS X 10.6.8 The state's support guide says to make certain my internet browser (Safari) is set to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader. How do I do this? Thanks in advance for helping.

I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!
