Forum support for Adobe Reader

Hi. I have Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3 installed on a Windows OS. It's a nice program, in most respects, and lately it seems to be improving too.  However, it is creating one very annoying problem for me. Every single time I start it up to read a pdf file, it wants to connect to the internet. This should not be happening because I have not configured it for doing so.  In the menu item Edit, Prefences, Updater, I have selected the option "Do not download or install updates automatically." Also, since I have my firewall configured not to allow this action, I have to now deliberately stop what I am doing and click on buttons to deny the internet connection. To say that this is annoying, is, well, a gross understatement.  How can I prevent it from recurring? Thanks.
Wouldn't it be swell if there were an option, while making a post on this forum, to be notified by email whenever I got a response. Jim dandy swell, I think, and efficient. 

Pat, I got an answer this morning. Not sure if you saw it because I don't see it posted here for some reason.  This is the answer:

The request being sent to the akamai server, (even when the Reader updater setting is turned OFF) is for updating the Adobe Approved Trust List (http://www.adobe.com/security/approved-trust-list.html).
The Adobe Approved Trust List is a program that allows millions of users around the world to create digital signatures that are trusted whenever the signed document is opened in Adobe® Acrobat® or Reader® software. Essentially, both Acrobat and Reader have been programmed to reach out to a web page to periodically download a list of trusted "root" digital certificates.
If you want you can specifically turn off the auto update functionality for the same by navigating to Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager from within the Reader application. Look under the "Automatic Updates" section and you can change the setting as required or chose for the application to ask before updating the root certificates.

  • Why is it impossible to get support for Adobe Reader?

    I have been trying to get help with Adobe Reader and there is no support but this forum. Should I just return the product?

    Adobe doesn't provide "live" support for its free products because that be very costly, as there are millions (if not more) of users for these applications, and they're not really paying customers, so it would be an expense without any incomes to justify it.

  • Extended Font Pack support for Adobe Reader 9

    To all:
    I am wondering if Adobe is no longer supporting the downloading and installation of foreign language font packs for Reader 9.
    The reason why I am thinking this is the case is because I can find no page on their site to download them from.
    I have found the Extended Font Pack page for Reader 8, but when I search for Reader 9 - I come up empty-handed.
    If anyone knows about whether Adobe has decided to end support for downloading and installing extended font packs separately from the Reader, that would be great if they can share this information.
    Here is what I found for downloading extended font packs for Reader 8:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrasianfontpack.html
    I can find nothing like this for Reader 9 on Adobe's site.
    Thanks for your time and  consideration,
    Mark

  • Oracle IRM Support for Adobe Reader XI

    Is there any date available when Adobe Reader XI will be supported by Oracle IRM Desktop? It's currently not supported as per Oracle KM note 1500011.1

    I will.. Just wanted to check if Adobe is aware of it and have any plans on getting it resolved. The lack of support prevents lots of corporate users from upgrading to the latest release of the Reader that seems to have a pretty good improvements.

  • 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’?

  • I need technical support with Adobe Reader. How do I get it?

    I need tech support for Adobe Reader.  It makes my computer freeze when an attachment if opened.  How and where do I get help?

    Have you tired another browser?
    Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera or Safari will all work with Windows 7, and they will give you far less trouble than IE or AOL will.
    Firefox has a built in PDF viewer that's less than perfect, but it works.
    On a personal note: I worked for AOL ten years ago. AOL mail (what most people use AOL for) is now  a FREE service for ANYONE, so if you have their software installed I'd recommend removing it: you don't need it. If you have a paid account with them, I'd cancel it. You're getting NOTHING AT ALL for a monthly fee that isn't available on their website at absolutely no cost to you.
    Also, I just spent an entire day last week reloading an office computer for my brother because Internet Explorer allowed a virus from a page that the other browsers don't allow access to. Internet Explorer is "the problem child" of Internet Browsers, and since AOL uses a seven year old version of Internet Explorer for its built-in browser, you'll find little difference between the two.
    Try another browser and see if the problem persists. If it does we'll look at Reader as a cause, but I'd venture an aducated guess it's your browser.

  • Is there a download for Adobe Reader 11?

    Is there a download for Adobe Reader 11?

    Reader 11 isn't supported for Vista (although it has been succesfully installed).
    To get it, you need to choose the option for a different language or OS and select an OS that is supported. Then it wil give you the option to download 11.
    But again, not supported.
