How can I script Adobe Reader updates using vbScript, PowerShell or C#?

I would like to script Adobe Reader updates using vbScript, PowerShell or C#, are there any Adobe API calls I use to do this.  There are several different version that I support and auto update is not an option. I do updates at a specific time of the month. I would like to write a script that would download and install the update for the currently installed version of Adobe Reader (32 or 64 bit) for the version of the OS (32 or 64bit). I can detect the OS version and the Adobe version.  I can download updates but I do not want to hard code anything

Sabian is correct.
Most admins download the updates from the ftp site and push via AIP, GPO, SCCM, or some other method whenever it makes sense for them.

    Adobe Reader supports various industry standard tools for enterprise deployment. Note that a redistribition license might be needed if you are installing on behalf of others.

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

    How can I download Adobe Reader if it will not accept my password?

    I have spent more than 3 hours (over 2 on your ask the expert where I waited forever and got about 5 minutes of Santos' time!)  He transferred me to this area where there is no one to help me.  I can't adjust my thermostat until I update my adobe reader and can't do that because your website will not take my password.  However, adobe.com will take it.  So what the hell do I do?????

  • How can I download Adobe Reader 6.0?

    Hi,
    I have some forms that I can fill in and save with Adobe Reader 6.0. Some of our computers have Adobe Reader 8.0 and these same forms can be filled in but not saved.
    Everytime I supposedly download Adobe Reader 6.0. . . Adobe Reader 8.0 downloads.
    How can I download Adobe Reader 6.0?
    The computers are newer and are running Windows XP.
    Thanks!!!

    If you cannot save the forms with Reader 8, you cannot do it with Reader
    6. Perhaps you had Acrobat 6 which is a commercial product as opposed to
    Reader which is free.

  • How can I download adobe reader 11

    I am running windows 7 and can't download adobe reader. The download stops about 75% of the way through the process and a message says  that Windows installer does not permit updating of managed advertised products. At least one feature of the product must be installed before applying the update. I had reader installed but uninstalled it because I could not print documents. Every sense I uninstalled it I have not been able to install it again.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • How can I keep Adobe Reader from closing 30 secs after I open it? Windows Vista

    My Adobe Reader closes after 30 seconds or so of being opened. I've been making changes to some of my windows settings in an effort to reduce risk of viruses and malware, etc. I don't know why it affected the time Adobe is allowed to stay open and so don't know how to fix the problem. How can I fix this?

    Three things to try:
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

    I am trying to download Adobe Reader to my external 1Tb hard drive to use on a desk top that is not connected to the internet for security purposes. how can I choose which drive to save the download to?

    I have the Windows link handy, ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
    For Mac (I haven't tested it), but the following link should work: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/10.x/10.1.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1010_en_US.dmg
