Enable "Automatically Install Updates" on Custom Reader XI Install

Hi,
How would one go about enabling "Automatically Install Updates" in Preferences to be the default value for "Check for Updates" in a custom installation for Adobe Reader XI? I've used the customization wizard, but the only setting built in that I see is to disable updates all together. Thank you!

No idea, but I'm shocked this hasn't been an option yet.
Adobe is *so* close to being where I want them to be in regards to automatic updates in many regards.
Flash automatically updates itself flawlessly...*except* that users are spammed with an "upgrade now" box when it's a x or y version level upgrade. ( ex. 11.4 -> 11.5 ) I really just want it to upgrade. Don't even talk to my users. They don't have Admin anyhow.
As for Acrobat and Reader, it seems they have the option to silently upgrade without admin privledges now, BUT, it doesn't seem to be possible to set this with Adobe's own Group Policy, which is weird. It also seems you are unable to automatically select it after a silent install for when the machine is off a domain. The Adobe Customization wizard doesn't even seem to address this.

Syntax or Flag to enable automatically "Highlight Fields" in Adobe Reader

Hi all.
I'm searching for a syntax or a flag in LiveCycle Designer that enables you the option "Highlight Fields" automatically in Adobe® Reader® 7+.
Is it possible to do that?
Thank you for your help.
Regards Corsin

"app.runtimeHighlight" holds the value and you may turn on by setting it to 'true' or off by setting it to 'false'.
In my case I set it to off at form:ready event.
if (app.runtimeHighlight == true) app.runtimeHighlight = false;
Good Luck,

How to update a custom list when there is a changes in excel sheet uploaded in document library

I have created a document library in which m uploading a excel sheet with values in it and i have created a custom list with same no.of.rows and columns in the excel sheet given the same name of columns. Now i have to make sure that whatever changes i do
in the excel sheet should automatically gets updated in custom list in sharepoint

You'll need to create an event receiver for when you add/update a document on the source library (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg749858(v=office.14).aspx)
Then, with code open the excel file and count the rows. You can use the OpenXmlSDK to do that (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5124)
Good luck ;)

Reader will not automatically install updates on Windows 7

I have looked through the forums and have not seen this exact symptom mentioned:
"Automatically install updates" does not seem to work correctly on Windows 7. The updates download and I see the "update is ready to install" bubble in the system tray repeatedly. However, the updates never seem to install. I've seen this on more than one Windows 7 machine (it works ok on XP). I suppose this could be something particular to our environment, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to look next. Leaving the system "idle" does not seem to help and the behavior does persist after a reboot.
(I'm running Process Monitor right now and see AdobeARM.exe occasionally and successfully creating and exiting a thread, but not touching any files or registry entries.)
I enabled this setting via the registry -
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM]
"iCheck"=dword:00000003
- and can see in the GUI that it has taken effect.
I do see some files in this directory - does this look correct?

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks - Andy

Some additional information. I'm seeing "GetLastError(): 0x2 - The system cannot find the file specified" in c:\users\(me)\appdata\local\temp\AdobeARM.log. But even using Process Monitor, it's not clear to me which file cannot be found.
Still seems to me that updater is downloading the update but never trying to apply it. The most recent thing I have tried is to quit AdobeARM gracefully and restart it. That does seem to have reduced the number of subdirectories in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Reader\9.3\ARM\ to only one (previously there had been one subdirectory per run).
Thanks for any suggestions -

I am using Firefox 3.6.8. Oddly, my problem appeared a few hours PRIOR to Firefox automatically installing the latest updates (the week ending 7/23), not afterwards. The problem is this: the browser continues to display tabs, the reload/home/history/favorites icons, URL field and Google search field while in full-screen mode, so it's not really full-screen anymore. How can I correct this?

How do I turn off automatic updates in Adobe Reader 9.3.0?

I don't see any way to turn off automatic updates in this version.

You can use the menu option 'Edit => Preferences => Updater' to adjust how updates are handled. If you have a corporate install, you might not have this option available and then you would need to talk to your System Administrator. If you turn it off, then you will need to manually check for updates since there are always updates to Acrobat/Reader that are needed to block new security threats.

Will automatic update select 'Adobe Reader X' after support ends for 'Adobe Reader 9.5.5' on 6/23?

After the recent update for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ the end of support for this version is June 23, 2013. This is installed on an edition of ‘Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2’. System type: 32-bit Operating System.

Probably is the best way to go if end of support for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ is June 23, 2013. Does automatic update select the latest version of ‘Adobe Reader X’?

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?
Background:
In options I have "check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" ticked. This works fine, in that I periodically receive a notice of an available update, and it will ask me whether I want to I want to install it.
But there are certain times -- for reasons I won't go into here (unless requested as part of seeking a solution) -- where I want to manually check for new versions, but RETAIN the ability to decide whether or not to install it. But if I click Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates, and it finds an update, it will immediately proceed to install it without asking for permission. While that seems quite inconsistent with my update preferences in Options, it is apparently normal behavior as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-manually-check-for-updates.
So is there any way I can manually check for new-update availability but then refuse the update if I so choose? Once an unwanted install begins, I'm concerned that if I click cancel I could end up with a partial installation or some "messed up," duplicated or corrupted FF files (e.g., multiple versions appended with (1), (2) etc, similar to what sometimes confusingly happens when I do an XP System Restore).
Thanks.

I think what needs to be made very clear here is that when a user clicks on "check for updates" the software should bloody well CHECK for updates and most certainly SHOULD NOT proceed to download and apply any updates. this is misleading and intrusive.
I just wanted to check if there was an updated version but I DID NOT want to actually update at that moment. the software downloaded data, costing me money and tried to apply the update which could have potentially messed up my settings if I had not checked everything was ok first.
I actually discovered how to prevent the update by searching through windows and manually deleting the files but why should anyone have to go to such lengths?
the software should simply do as it is asked, not do things that have most certainly not been asked.

HT201380 Yesterday this was automatically installed. Today I can't access a document in Pages. A prompt says I need a Pages update. But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date. What's up?

Yesterday this was automatically installed. Today I can't access a document in Pages. A prompt says I need a Pages update. But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date. What's up?

It's highly unlikely that the Pages update problem has anything to do with the ARD client update, since the client is not involved in any way with Software Update. I'd suggest asking for assistance with the update problem in the forum appropriate for your version of Mac OS X.

HT4589 should I install each update in successive order? Or will installing the 10.7 update automatically install every previous update? I have FCPX 10.0.0 currently. Dumb question?

Installing 10.0.7 negates the need to install previous updates. Just install it (it will upgrade your projects to a newer format as well, from memory).
Thankfully, the days of doing it the way you were thinking are well behind us.

Why does the latest flash update automatically install Mcafee?

Just wondering why I can't opt out of installing unwanted software when updating flash player?
For reference:
- I turned on my computer and was faced with a regular looking flash player box that stated an update was available.
- I clicked the "update" button and was taken to the following page: https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_13_for_Other_Browsers& os=Windows%207&browser_type=Gecko&browser_dist=Firefox&a=McAfee_Security_Scan_Plus_FireFox _Browser&dualoffer=false&type=au&browser_vers=28 (yes it mentions Mcafee in the address, but only the address. No warning whatsoever on the actual webpage. I wasn't aware that it would automatically install Mcafee without asking).
- I saved the update, then ran it (there were no checkboxes at all to opt out of Mcafee, it just installed it).
Not particularly happy at having unwanted software installed with no real warning, and no opt out available.

This has been an ongoing thing. There is an updater that blindly installs McAfee and another that installs Google Chrome and Toolbar. People have been complaining about it for years, and it doesn't change, and it won't change.
I'm not being condescending, and I'm not trying to lecture you on this. I'm just stating the facts. If there had been any intent on anyone's part to do something about it, posts like this wouldn't pop up here every month and a half, like clockwork.
It's the number one reason we post the FULL installer links. Because they have NOTHING IN THEM but the Flash Player plug-in.
