Fraud? Action required : Upgrade New Adobe Acrobat Reader

Hello Folks,
Got this strange e-mail regarding an upgrade to Acrobat Reader, Adobe Inc., Canada? Looks fishy, DON'T CLICK [url deleted by host]
Anyone else see this in their inbox, or know if it's legitimate?
Text:
Just how much faster can you work with Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader
software? Fast enough to stay on top of last-minute changes, connect
with key decision makers, and share updates with co-workers.
You'll discover how easy it is to reuse content by exporting PDF files
to Microsoft Word or Excel formats. And how quickly you can automate
multi-step tasks with new, guided Actions. No wonder PC Magazine
says, "There's a lot to like in Acrobat X PDF Reader."
Bill Lomax

It's not legitimate, and we see this type of thing all the time. Delete the email, don't visit the link, it'll be dealt with by Adobe.
Aside from it being a fake URL, they can't even get the product name right! There is no such thing as "Adobe Acrobat Reader". We have "Adobe Acrobat" and "Adobe Reader".

  • Problems after upgrading the Adobe Acrobat Reader

    Hi All!!
    I have created a Web Dynpro Abap which displays an Adobe Interactive Form.
    Initially, my version of Adobe Acrobat Reader was 6.0, and runs perfectly.
    Today, I have upgraded my version to the 8.1, and the form is displayed but with all the fields blank. I have debugged and the information is sent to the Form.
    One of my partners has still the version 6.0 and runs perfectly, and another partner has the version 8.1, and has the same problem like me.
    Somebody knows what is the cause of this?
    Thanks and regards,
    Manuel Míguez.

    Hi Satya!
    On the fist part of your post, I can´t see any data, but I can see the label of the fields.
    On the second part:
    1. The form is DDIC based.
    2. I think is WAS 7.0 SP 12.
    3. Yes, is from the backend. I send the data by means of the node context automatically generated on the Web Dynpro ABAP when I indicate the form to the UI element Interactive Form.
    4. Is a print form.
    I hope I have been clear enough.
    Thanks and regards,
    Manuel.

  • Unable to Print After Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader Upgrades.

    . What software version of Abobe Acrobat Reader should be used for an HP PhotoSmart Plus printer? I currently have Adobe version  9.3 installed. I receive pop-up notices to install new Adobe Acrobat Reader software upgrades. I have installed the software upgrades and then my HP PhotoSmart Plus printer was unoperational. I deleted the Adobe software upgrades and my HP PhotoSmart Plus printer began to operate. I contacted HP technical support and was told there is no compatibility issues between Adobe Acrobat Reader and HP All-in-One Products. It might be a problem with the specific Adobe software upgrades. HP requested that I contact Adobe support for problem resolution. Has this problem ever happened to you? Any problem resolutions would be appreciated.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Oldchev

  • Attempt to Access Invalid Address - Adobe Acrobat Reader XI or Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    My spec's:
    - OS: Win 7 Ultimate SP 1 64 bit
    - currently have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v 9.0.0 (works fine) - (AA9P)
    - Profile I am installing is an Administrator account
    - All A/V is turned off to include MS Security Essentials real time protection
    - MS EMET is turned off
    I have tried upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Reader XI (AARXI) or the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (AAPXI), and keep getting the same debug message "attempt to Acess Invalid Address"
    I have UNINSTALLED AA9P, and THEN rebooted. I then tried to install AAPXI = same debug message. No errors were present during the installation and I also verified the MD5 checksum on the download, so that I getting a complete install package
    I then UNINSTALLED AAP XI, then rebooted.
    I INSTALLED AAPRXI, and received no errors during installation. Again, all installs are ocurring under a ADMINISTRATOR account with all security software disabled. Tried opening AAPRXI and get the same debug message.
    My OS has every available patch installed for both Microsoft and Third Party.
    Any suggestions on how to correct this installation?

    Still no solution to this problem. I went ahead and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI thinking I could always get refunded but maybe it was the trial version?
    I have since taken a number of steps to verify my computer was clean before I installed AAPXI
    -- remotely ran sweeps across my computer using Retina and Tenable Nessus = clean and all available/critical patches installed
    -- running Win7 Ultimate SP1
    -- running latest versions of all third party software (Java, Flash, etc.)
    -- Ran Sysinternal procmon to see if what was going on (will upload to adobe...tons of "NAME NOT FOUND")
    ---- in procmon, I filtered out most of the noise...just need an assist from Adobe Tech
    -- I used the tool above that Claudio Gonazlez identified and removed everything, even my entire Adobe CS4 installation =(
    -- Rebooted
    -- Double checked that all security software is disabled
    ** installed AAPXI with NO installation errors
    -- tried opening AAPXI but get the same error " C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe    Attempt to access invalid address"
    Any help from the community or Adobe? Been trying off an on for two weeks to fix this. Thanks

  • Can I upgrade from Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard (on an older PC) to 6 or newer on a new HP Pavilion23?

    Can I upgrade from Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard (on an older PC) to 6 or newer on a new HP Pavilion 23?

    You may be able to do some work arounds with AA6 on 32-bit systems. You are probably out of luck with AA6 on 64-bit systems. (I got AA5 working with some workarounds on Win7, 32-bit) As for the upgrade, you can check at the Adobe store for the upgrade compatibilities. I think it is now at AA9, maybe AA8 for an upgrade. So, you are kind of stuck with buying a new version (no upgrade).

  • This file requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to support tracking functionality

    All PDF files uploaded to our Adobe Connect Content libraries (hosted) are displaying a window with the message "This file requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to support tracking functionality".  I have 2 hosted accounts and both have this issue (which started today). We were upgraded to version 9.1 over the weekend also. Is anyone else seeing this and do you know of a resolution?

    Update: We have not been able to confirm whose update (MS or Adobe) caused this issue, but the  one of the resolutions (enabled Reader Add-on) has broken something else.
    Enabled add-on: Enabling the Reader add-on resolved the issue of not being able to view PDFs, but now prevents the PDF from opening in the application. Instead, it now opens in the browser, which causes links on the PDF to open the linked file in the same window. That results in the return of those end user support issues. http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    Reader: In some cases, enabling the Reader Add-on did not resolve the issue until Reader was uninstalled and/or reinstalled.
    We hope this information helps others.
    Does anyone know how to get rid of the Adobe Advertisement that now appears in all PDFs that open in the browser? Note: It does not appear in all versions of Reader (e.g. Reader 9)?

  • Error:  Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8 or 9 is required.

    I have windows XP and I recently installed a 9 version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.  Since then a receive the following error message: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.  Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required."  I had installed the 9 version.  Any idea why this is happening or more importantly, what should I do to fix it?

  • Removing Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0, and installing newer 7.0.9 version

    My IMAC with Panther 10.3.9 has Acrobat reader 5.0. This appears in Finder>Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder. I find that the lastest version of the reader for my system is 7.0.9, per Adobe's website in the reader download section. I downloaded version 7.0.9, which appeared to have occurred without problems. When I went back to Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder, the folder still indicated 5.0, not 7.0.9. Not convinced 7.0.9 was actually implemented, I moved the Adobe Acrobat 5.0 folder from Applications to Trash. And yes I emptied the trash. I then downloaded 7.0.9 from Adobe's website again. The download again appeared to have occurred correctly. There is no sign of Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 in Applications, nor is the 5.0 folder there since I put it in trash. Why did I want to upgrade the reader version in the first place? Some PDF files that I tried to download wouldn't. This is the first time that I have encountered PDF files that would not download in readable format. The PDF help section of the website indicated I needed the lastest version of Acrobat reader to successfully download the PDF files. Since I did have an older version, the version upgrade was attempted. Where do I go from here?
    IMAC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    Hello AC,
    You were very close to being completely correct. The downloadreader.pkg opened by itself, but what I did not do after that was double click an icon that said Acrobat reader installer. Once I did double click that icon, additional installation activities occurred, and sure enough, Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 now appears in Applications. Thanks.

  • I'm not sure if im in the right room to ask but, i got a new job and my w-4 is online threw the adobe acrobat reader ans is filled out but it wont connect to the browser to get it submitted. what is wrong?

    I'm not sure if i am in the right room to ask but, i got a new job and my w-4 is online threw the adobe acrobat reader ans is filled out but it wont connect to the browser to get it submitted. what is wrong?@

    I doubt that the W-4 has a submit button. If you are using Reader XI (actually the topic of the Reader forum, not this one), you should be able to save it and then print and deliver. If it is set to be submitted by the browser, then it may be your Reader and the browser are not talking properly. If there is a generic URL that you can provide that has the W-4, we might be able to give you more info. A lot depends on what your particular form looks like. Hand carrying it should always be an option.

  • Repeated notification that "Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in" in Firefox is "out of date" after the upgrade is downloaded and installed.

    I have tried to update the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, along with the plug-in in Firefox v37.0.1. Repeatedly, after the download/installation is "complete", upon opening Firefox I'm met with the message that the "Adobe Acrobat plug-in" is "out of date". I tried rebooting my machine, uninstalling Acrobat Reader DC (which works as a stand-alone), and still the plug-in is never updated (the one listed is from early December 2014) and the reminder always reappears with opening Firefox. Can anyone help with this?

    Sorry about the issue which you are facing. It would be helpful if you could share the firefox notification message screenshot.
    Also, please check that the firefox plugins show the correct Adobe Acrobat Reader DC plugin. If possible, please share the firefox plug in screenshot as well.

     Dear Adobe people ...
    This is a user-to-user forum; you do not address Adobe staff here.
    The original post was about an installation on a beta version of Windows 7, which was not supported at the time.
    If you have a problem with a different version of Adobe Reader on a different version of Windows 7, please open a new topic.
    I'd gladly address Adobe staff directly about it if they didn't make it so difficult to do so but there are notices galore on their website restricting the ways of doing so for this particular product. That said, I accept that they may not review these posts and act on bugs found (although why is beyond me, I know if I was a developer of software and I wanted it to be top quality, I'd be looking everywhere I can for sources of bugs having been found and I certainly wouldn't make it any more difficult than an ordinary bug submission on any other software to report it).
    It's clear to me that the problem originally posted about that shows up in Win 7 RC, is still present in the latest software and popping its ugly head up under Win 7 RTM. If they'd nipped it in the bud back then it should be fixed by now - that's annoying. I've been using online forums for a long time and I know it's always a good idea to search for a solution or similar thread and post in that if present, rather than opening an entirely new thread. As the bug is the same, the Adobe software version is very similar and the OS is just an earlier non-RTM version and there are no set forums for bugs within specific RTM vs RC/Beta OS's I posted here.
    I'm not going to start a new thread because if, as you say there's no addressing of Adobe Staff here (and you haven't mentioned you have inside connections and will pass it on) what's the point? I will make one phonecall to Abobe in an effort to report this but there needs to be more open ways of bug reporting, even if it is a free product.

  • The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.OK. I followed the instruction and the problem still persists.

    I got the following pop-up when I tried to open an online PDF file:
    The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.
    I tried many time, and it really doesn't work.
    The plug-in I have is Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280

    After I upgraded to Firefox 5, I had the same problem and I did a work around temporarily. I went the tools menu, then Add-ons, then clicked the "Plugins" on the left side (4th one down). I "disabled" both Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0.536 using the disable buttons on the right side. PDF files now open again. However they are outside the actual browser.
    My guess is that Adobe didn't catch up yet with a new update to work with Firefox or vice versa.
    Hope that helps!

  • Problem with adobe acrobat/reader

    Hello,
    I am having problems with adobe. I am trying to open an old bamk statment but I keep getting "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. If it is running please exit and start again (103:103)
    Or it will say "Adobe reader has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    I am using windows xp IE8
    In my add/remove programs there is "adobe reader 9.5.3" and below that there is "adobe reader XI (11.0.03)
    I tried to repair or patch then restarted my computer but the same problem. I tried to remove them but they won't remove.
    PLEASE someone help me.
    Thank You in advance
    GOD Bless

    Yep it works. I think the reason I had the reader 11.0.03 was a few months ago I asked me to click for an upgrade. The one that I had was the one you gave me last year. I don't know how/why it didn't delete the older one, or maybe it was an offer from some other site. I just saw the word upgrade and figured it was suppose to. Funny thing is, The files I was having trouble to see last night, I was able to see them 2 days earlier and it didn't prevent me firm seeing them then, and I hadn't messed with the adobe for a few months. GO FIGURE!!
    While your here, do you happen to know of an excellent system tool cleaner I could get from amazon?? I got a desktop from Listia hew/used and before I get my stuff transferred from this one to my new one I want to get something that runs in the background to keep it running smooth, and this laptop I'm using is about 10 years old and getting sluggish. I've tried one or two that I bought online that offer free download then charge to fix it. So I once or twice bought the download clicked the fix, and it shows EVERYTHING is fixed. Then run another scan and there would be more things need fixing so would click fix again, run a third scan and still have more to fix. So I would have to call the place I bought it from to get my money back.
    I look on amazon and read peoples reviews but just can't decode which one to get. The ones that sound great are old versions. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg, just something that get old stuff off. There are so many programs on the add/remove but I don't want to take the chance to remove something only to find out I shouldn't have. Do you know what I mean?? All of them on web sites  and like on tv claim to be good but are really junk.
    I do surveys online to make extra money fixedincome due to sever RA in my back and focus groups online, to things get thick I don't want my computer to get bougged down
    So if you happen to have any suggestions please tell me. If your allowed to. Thanks again

  • Integration of SAP with MS Office & Adobe Acrobat Reader using OLE

    Hi Friends,
    I have to integrate MS Office 2003 and ADOBE Acrobat reader with SAP very much like that demonstrated in SAPRDEMODOCUMENTCONTAINER program given in the control examples by SAP. But the problem is, the code I am developing and even in the one given by SAP has some problems in them. They are:
    (1) When a MS Word or any application is opened, many of its attributes are
    disabled like CTRL+ N for opening new document and CTRL+ O for opening
    an existing file and many others.
    (2) When I try to open an existing file using the recently used list, it is opening in
    a new window but my requirement is to open it in the same window in which
    the application frame is displayed over SAP screen.
    (3) I am following the same procedure that is used in the above said example and
    unable to understand the way methods of the inner most interface are implem-
    ented like method CONTAINER_CONTROL->CREATE_DOCUMENT that is
    called from within I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY~CREATE_DOCUMENT method. I
    am clueless how it is working.
    Please guide me how to solve the problem along with some good reference material that you can suggest me to study.
    Thanks & Regards
    Aditya P. Srivastava

    Hi Adiya,
    You need to pass the parameter 'open in place' to word file in same window.
    CALL METHOD DOCUMENT->OPEN_DOCUMENT
                        EXPORTING OPEN_INPLACE = 'X'

  • 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?
