Bad "feature" in Acrobat Reader and Flash downloads

Please turn off the "auto-delete" function of the Adobe Reader and Flash downloads. I have a slow Internet connection and the downloads often time out when getting the install. I then have to go back to the site and download the .exe file all over again, as it auto-deletes whether it was successful or not. Very frustrating!

Hi again! I downloaded Mozilla and am VERY pleased with it. Can't believe how much better it is working than IE (I shouldn't be surprised, I know). Thank you very much! I did actually get Flashplayer 7 and once I figured out where to put it it does definitely make a difference. Had to put other things in the plug-ins folders of the browsers too. I still have a lot to learn!! It will still take a little getting used to use Mozilla. I had a little struggle with setting up the toolbar but I seem to have gotten over that hurtle. Should be interesting to see what the kids say when they use it.
After all this, it looks like we are actually about ready to order a new iMac. I realised though that if I want to keep this one running in such form as to be able to print homework assignments, etc. I will need to upgrade to OS 10.3.9 in order to use the new printer. The old one came with the computer in Aug. 01 and is unreliable these days but new ones will likely not install on OS 9.2.2 (sigh). So what would it involve to upgrade? Pure Mac did not have downloads for Panther (smile). I also did not find it in the Apple Store when I searched for it. Amazing how well the Apple Store works on Mozilla! I am so excited!!
Thanks again for all your help.

Installation Media for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash without Extra Software

Is there a Installation Media format for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash which does not have McAfee, Google Chrome or Google Toolbar associated with the installation? This deployment is for a IT department. We do not want Google Chrome, Toolbar, or McAfee installed on our workstation, and we want to prevent our users from installing them when performing the upgrades to newer versions. We want installation media without the extra software for deployment. Does Adobe supply these?

Re The first Link:
Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
I have done this. I just need the refund that was mentioned on the bottom of the page that I have already cancelled on. None of the other links on that page are relevant and none mention the word "Refund"
Re; The second link, is this a UK 0800 number or a US Number? I am in the UK. Will I be on hold for 32 minutes again if I ring this number?

Acrobat Reader and Flash

Hello, all you helpful people out there! and Happy Easter!!
I have recovered from my iMac's crash (which incidentally has had a good effect because now my husband is taking the need for a new computer much more seriously) Anyway, we lost a lot of things but managed to find and save some things to a jump drive before I reinstalled everything fresh. Unfortunately there were a few things that I didn't even think to look for. Why would one need to save Acrobat Reader? The websites always say "download for free" but now mine don't show that download message. (sigh) Anyone know where I can get an old version that is compatible with OS 9.2.2? I tried a few links by googling but didn't get anywhere. Also had a Harry Potter screen saver from before the movies. It had a purple background and showed the castle. (version 1.3.5U from macsourcery.com). No luck finding it either.
Also, in the same boat with Flash, I fear. I did download Flash 7 from versiontracker or something but when I tried to install it Netscape opened up and wanted to be configured, which I did. Now I don't know what I have. The netscape window just showed Gobbeldygook. I am guessing that this could be one reason I can't even load the Apple Store? No flash? Not in IE or in iCab. Guess I should try Netscape but the little I tried with it didn't even look good. How can I order a new computer without the store? Aaaah!!! Well there are other newer computers in this neck of the woods I can use if need be. That's how I started out after all.
I did manage to update to OS 9.2.2 and also updated IE and OE. Suppose I should look for the Appleworks update but it is running so much faster now than it did before that I am tempted to just leave it.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!!

Unable to install Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Flash Player

Hello,
I am trying to install Acrobat reader and acrobat flash player on my Laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T420) after installing windows 8.1 64 bits, after successfully downloading both software, the adobe reader installer opens with a dark grey box and nothing else happens.
The installer can't be closed except from the task manager.
I have tried to start as administrator, enable javascript, different browsers, restart the laptop, ... all gave me the same result.
Below image shows what i am receiving.
Kindly advise.

Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool and reinstall from scratch.

Download & Save Reader and Flash, not just installation 'pointers'

How can Adobe Reader and Flash be downloaded and saved? Reader XI is 36.1 megs, and Flash is 15.6. The Web site's Download page only allows downloading of installation 'pointer' or access files (or whatever the right term is). They're only about 970K each. I need to use a high-speed Internet connection to download and save the actual full installation files so they can be copied and then installed on machines that DON'T have high-speed connections. It's impossible to install the programs via a dial-up connection: all you get is 'cannot connect to a reliable source', after a long delay. Helpful answers only, please... no snide 'You oughta bring that computer into the 21st Century' -type remarks.

You can use the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
I understand there is a similar installer for Flash, buth I don't know where to get it. You may find the proper URL by looking in this forum; I recall seeing it posted here.

I installed Acrobat XI pro on a Mac but it only shows the features of acrobat reader - how do I activate the pro features?

How do I get Acrobat XI pro on a Mac to work fully, and not just act like Acrobat Reader. i just paid and downloaded it, entered new serial number when requested, but when I open a .pdf I have no pro features showing (such as editing tools, convert to powerpoint, etc). I use XI pro on a windows PC and have no problem there.

Perfect answer. And I feel a bit dumb (should have worked it out, but still finding my way round the Mac). Many thansk for the help.

How to extend features in Acrobat Reader for Livecycle pdfs

Have a PDF I created wit
h Livecycle. I'm trying to extend features in Acrobat Reader so that the form will be fillable with acrobat reader but that option is not ena
bled? Anyone know where the magic button for this is?

I already done this three times and 'extend features in Acrobat REader' is still disabled.
I'm using Livecycle ES and Acrobat Pro 9. When I 'save as' in Livecycle my only option is 'Acrobat (static) PDF Form', and when I open the PDF document in acrobat pro I get a blue-bar that says i am viewing the document in PDF/A mode. Does any of that raise any "red flags"?

Silent Install Parameters For Reader And Flash Player

Does anyone know the silent install parameters for Adobe Reader and Flash Player? I actually need the download link for the offline installers and the parameters for those installers. Thanks!

You probably also need a distribution license, then.

You will need to apply for both Reader and Flash Player Distribution agreements if you intend on enterprise deployments of these products.

If you are using SCCM and SCUP then use the available catalogs for both products.

See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.
