Disabling Adobe Reader X updates in an enterprise
Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me where the registry key is to disable updates to the New Adobe Reader X? I have this in place for version 9 but I cannot find the key even after using proxmon to see what Adobe is changing in the registry.
Is there any new methods of managing an adobe reader in this new version?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
For disabling ReaderX updates following registry entry can be created:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bUpdater"=dword:00000000
Hope that it will be useful. Thanks

Adobe Reader X and Windows 7 Enterprise Memory Leak
Hi I am using Adobe Reader X with Windows 7 enterprise when reading a 8000 page document when I do a search I notice that the memory on my machine starts to creep up typically 1Mb per search this will continue to rise to over 300Mb as the document is used until it reaches a point that it freezes the machine, The only way to recover is Ctrl-Alt-Delete and cancel the task. Has this been observed by other users?
Good day,
Could you provide some additional details about both the file and your system's configuration?
What version of Adobe Reader X do you have installed? (Help > About Adobe Reader)
If you haven't updated to 10.0.3, please do so and see if the issue persists.
How was the PDF file you're searching created? (File > Document Properties > What does the PDF Producer line say?)
Are you experiencing this with multiple files?
Have you installed SP1 for Windows 7?

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.

Removing Adobe Reader X Updates
I would like the notification to remove Adobe Reader X Updates to be removed from my computer. It is quite annoying. Please be clear and easy since I am not exactly computer literate. Thank you, in advance
Sorry, your question is not clear. Can you give us the exact wording (or a screenshot) of that notification?
What is your operating system? -
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.

How do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs?
how do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs in Safari? I tried unchecking the box for opening pdfs in browser under Adobe's Internet prefs, but that didn't seem to work.
Hello-
I actually saw a solution to this earlier today. To disable PDF viewing in safari, first quit safari, then open terminal, and type in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
To re-enable PDF viewing in safari simply open the terminal, and change the "YES" in the command above to a "NO"
Hope this helps.

Adobe Reader 11 Update via SCUP
Hi all,
i'm updating Adobe Reaer via SCCM and SCUP and the published catalogs from Adobe.
When importing the updates i do not see the MUI Update for Version 11.0.5, but the not MUI Version is available.
is this update published later what do i wrong?
Thanks a lotI'm a bit sorry, I've used the non MUI version for deployment, it was the German 11.0.04 Package.
11.0.05 Deployment via SCUP was done without any problems.
I tried "msiexec /update AdbeRdrUpd11006.msp" with Logging Option and this is the output (It's a bit in german I hope its not a problem):

Adobe Reader XI Update failed. How to fix?
When my windows 7 64 bit computer was updated to adobe reader XI, the update function began to continually fail. I am getting the following "Adobe Reader Updater" message:
"Update Failed An error occured. Please check for updates again later. Error: 111500"
This message annoyingly pops up when adobe attempts to check for updates automatically. I also get this message anytime I manually check for updates. I have tried to "check for updates later" a million times with no luck. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Reader a million times. I have also uninstalled, utilized the adobe reader removal tool for removal of older versions, and reinstalled a million times. I have also tried reinstalling the older versions. Still, whether i am using version XI or an older version of Reader, I always get the above message when I request an update. Please Help!This error means that Updater could not create download folder under C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\ARM
Most likely you have special\corrupted permissions at C:\Users\All Users level
Or some sort of Antivirus type program keeps this folder locked.
You have 2 choices
1. Fix permissions\locking issue
2. Download Updates manually and install them every time they are released - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html
If you choose later, you can disable Updater automatic modes from Edit\Preferences\Updater menu.
Good luck -
Disabling Adobe Reader Share Review in 10.1.3
Hello,
I would like to fully disable the Adobe Reader Share Review in version 10.1.3. That is the prompt asking the user to "Connect to join the shared review of ..." on specific documents.
In version 9 we used the Customization Wizard > Online and Acrobat.com Features and had access to 5 options or disabling the whole Acrovbat.Com access.
In version 10, the Customization Wizard X now gives us 3 options, 2 of which are greyed out but even selecting "Disable all Acrobat.Com access... " does not prevent the user to get prompted to connect to a review server.
Any help to find a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
ManuelHi,
Is the requirement to disable the check for updates feature altogether (i.e. remove the menu item), or to just disable the automatic check that happens on startup?
There isn't currently a documented way to totally disable the feature altogether, however it's possible to add such a feature in a future service update if necessary.
There is a potential way in which you can modify the behavior of the wizard such that it will always find no updates (the menu item will still be present, however). If this is an acceptable solution to you, let me know and I'll fill you in on the details.
Thanks,
Brian -
Deploying Adobe Reader & Flash Updates
I am currently looking for a way to deploy non-Microsoft based product updates across our organization. Some of the products I would like to be able to deploy updates for include: Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and Adobe Shockwave.
Presently, between our main office and our various branch offices we have:
5 Servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
1 Server running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise
1 Server running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard
20-30 Workstations running Windows Xp Professional SP3
20-30 Workstations running Windows 7 Professional
Sadly, our organization does not current have a license for SCCM, so I most likely will be deploying updates via our GPOs or scripts.Also, our users do not have admin rights or anything, so lately I've been having to manually authorize each of their updates when the product (Adobe for example) checks for updates.
Does anyone have any suggestions or pointers?

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.

At present, I have Adobe Reader Hebrew version AdbeRdr813_he_IL.exe installed, and I use Internet Explorer 6 SP1 in my Windows 2000 Professional SP4 . The menus and interface in all my Windows 2000 Operating System and installed software are US-English, but the specific menus and interface in my Adobe Reader 8.1.3 are in Hebrew.
Adobe website offers for download ME (Hebrew included inside) Update version AdbeRdrUpd814_all_me_incr.msp, whereas Updates 8.1.5 & 8.1.6 are only available as AdbeRdrUpd815_all_incr.msp and AdbeRdrUpd816_all_incr.msp, without explicit mention of Hebrew or Middle-East (ME) languages compatibility.
Is it compatible and adviseable to download and apply these International Updates 8.1.5 & 8.1.6 directly to the basic Adobe Reader Hebrew 8.1.3 , or first install ME 8.1.4, or directly install International Update 8.1.6 onto Hebrew 8.1.3, thus bypassing ME 8.1.4 & 8.1.5?
Alternatively, should I patiently wait till ME/Hebrew versions of Updates 8.1.5 & 8.1.6 will be offered for download by Adobe?
Note that my main interest is in the ability to search text strings in Hebrew and in English in all PDF documents. The menus and interface might be in US-English or in Hebrew as far as I am concerned.The ME version of Adobe products are not actually Adobe products. Contact the company that makes and supports these products:

Adobe Reader Transitition Update for SCCM
Hi all,
i just downloaded the latest Adobe Reader 11.X Catalogs for SCUP.
I would like to upgrade all of our 10.X Adobe Reader Versions to 11.X, but the Transition Update "Adobe Reader 10 Transition"
seems to work only for english Installations. All of my other Clients report "not required" and so i can't push that update to those clients.
Is there anything i'm doing wrong? Will there be another Transitition Update to upgrade other languages also?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards

Are standard OEM equipped device users entitled to product updates?
I'm using Adobe Reader LE 2.5.0.0. but there is no facility in the product to check for updates. Have there been any updates?afaik, the LE apps are not supported in any way other than, perhaps, by the vendor of your phone. (this forum is for adobe ppc reader which is not related to LE)
If your phone is windows mobile and uses a stylus, you can "upgrade" to the full pocketpc adobe reader by downloading it from adobe and using activesync to install it via your sync pc.
