How to Disable Updates in Adobe Acrobat Standard

About 8 months ago we installed about 40+ Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 installations throughout our environment.  We then have had the time to create a completely hands free installation .msi that disables the AutoUpdate feature and a configures a few more items.
My question is:
How can I disable the AutoUpdate feature on Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 without having to go into the Edit>Preferences Menu and deselect it?
Thanks for your time.

The Updater guide has your needed information.
If you get the AIM AIR app, you'll get a database of other configurable preferences.

  • How can I update my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    How can I update my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro? I uninstalled Acrobat as suggested, re-installed, and tried to update. It still fails.

    Sometimes there are server issues and such. A reinstall is a bit drastic. Try http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.

    Hi Venkat,
    See if this helps (as taken from Adobe helpx http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-update-manager-administrators-cs3.html. Looks like CS3 & CS4, I know. But worth giving a shot:
      On Windows XP or Windows Vista   
          Using Regedit.exe, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe  
          Create a new key in this folder named "Updater"  
          Create a new DWORD value within this key named "Enterprise with a value of "1"
    Also, try one or both of these:
    HKLM\Software\Adobe\Updater - Create a DWORD named 'Enterprise' with value '1'.
    HKCU\Software\Adobe\Updater - Create a DWORD named 'Enterprise' with value '1'.
    HKLM - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    HKCU - HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    (I'm sure you're aware of this, but for other users who visit this thread for similar issue - this will help!)
    Let us know how it goes.

  • How to disable "Update to Adobe ReaderX!" popup on terminal server

    We have one of our clients on a Citrix farm that utilizes 3 Windows 2003 terminal servers. I keep Adobe Reader patched manually, and it's currently at 9.4.5. My "problem" is that my users get nagging popups from Adobe asking if they want to update to X. Is there any way to disabled this? Google hasn't been much help, although I was able to disabled Adobe Reader 9.0 updater with a registry key, it seems like this popup is of a different nature. Or, will disabling Updater (HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FeatureLockDown\bUpdater:0), also disable these popups? Thanks!

    If you are asking about disabling this dialog below, can you try
    1. setting bUpdater DWORD value to 0 in registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FeatureLockDown
    Notes:
    a. this will disable Adobe Acrobat\Reader Updater
    b. on 64bit systems you may have to try to set bUpdater in
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FeatureLockDown
    2. setting iReaderMajorVersionUpdateDialogDoNotShowAgain DWORD value to 1 in the registry
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVAlert\cCheckbox
    Note,
    This one is per User setting and does not affect Updater

  • How do i update my adobe acrobat pro?

    I have a very old version from 2008 that I installed using the disks.  It doesn't work that well with windows 8.  Can someone help?

    Hi karimw65988367,
    We would be happy to help you.
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are using on Windows 8.
    As you specified that it is a very old version, so it might not be supported on Windows 8 platform thus leading to problems.
    You can choose to use the latest Acrobat version (Acrobat DC) which is fully compatible with your OS and offers a completely reimagined solution with its remarkable features and functions.
    You can download a 30-day trial version of Acrobat DC from the following link:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
    So, give it a try and let me know how it goes.
    I hope you will like it.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5 Install Error:  "Error applying transforms please ensure specified transform paths are valid".  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I had Acrobat Standard 9.5 on a laptop that broke.  Adobe Acrobat Standard is paid for and all I need. I had to get a new PC (Windows 8.1) and I did downloaded Standard 9.5 but when I went to install it the installer gave me an “Error applying transforms please ensure specified transform paths are valid”.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Rahul,
    No error numbers other than the message I mentioned previously.
    I tried the transforms repair and it reported no Acrobat product (correct, none yet installed) or no administrative privileges (I am the administrator and have done previous administrative actions).
    When I unzip the Acrobat file this is what is in the setup ini file:
    [Startup]
    RequireOS=Windows XP
    RequireMSI=3.0
    RequireIE=6.0.2600.0

    CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroStan.mst"

    MajorVersion=5
    MinorVersion=1
    ServicePackMajor=2
    [MSI Updater]

    Thoughts?

  • How do I customize Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to do what I'd like?  Actually this a multiple-question inquiry.

    Note, I was unable to find a "How TO", Tutorial, or FAQ relevant to the following questions.
    For instance, how do I easily append to an existing PDF with minimum clicks (which I could do with an earlier version of Acrobat Standard)?
    I'm using a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to scan documents and in certain situations, append to existing PDFs.
    I'd prefer to trial the Adobe Acrobat Standard vs. Pro DC because that's what I intend to purchase.  I'd prefer to not get accustomed to Pro if Standard is very different.
    1.  After selecting Edit > Preferences and specifying certain defaults, most take effect as suspected but some do not, like the one's I'm going to elaborate on below.  Why?
    2. Alternatively, is there a Tool or a way to create a local customized Profile and default to that Profile to avoid having to repeat the following steps?
       This should not be confused with the online Profile (or Communities Profile) whereby one states one's Name etc.
    File
    > Create
       > PDF from scanner
         > Custom scan
           > Color Mode: Black and White
           > Append to existing file
             > Browse
               > Select file
                 > Scan
    This is a cumbersome task to repeat each time I'm ready to scan.  Using an earlier version of Acrobat Standard, I'd simply double-click the PDF I wished to append to,
    Acrobat would default to the appropriate scanner, and know that I wished to append to an existing file without me having to select that option.  Presently it doesn't appear to be that easy/simple.
    Perhaps it is (or can be with guidance).  Please assist.
    3. Please find attached the following snapshots/images... CORRECTION, IF ADOBE SUPPORT CONTACTS ME ABOUT THIS, I'LL GLADLY FORWARD SCREENSHOTS.
       Meaning, there does not appear to be a way to include screenshots on Forums.
    3a See Error.  Is there a way to get a more accurate description of the error (i.e., turn on debugging etc.)?
    3b When Creating a PDF, the prompts still seen after clicking "Configure Presets" and changing Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White.  Why?
    3c Custom Scan Input, where I changed Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White and why I must also tell Acrobat to append AND to browse to a pre-defined default location?
    4. Must I be "Logged in" to use the product?  The first time launching it, I was prompted to login using the credentials used to create the account and download the product.  Now when using the product it appears to be automatically "Logged in" or online.  I would prefer to use it in an "offline mode" if there is such a thing.
    5. Once the product is purchased, what are my support options?  Can questions be answered or issues resolved with a phone call or are they limited to the Acrobat Forum(s) and/or Adobe Communities?  Even after clicking "Ready to contact us?  Start here." I'm only given the Forum option (over and over) vs. Chat vs. Email Support etc.
    If I've posted these inquiries to the wrong Forum or Discussion, if prudent, please collectively relocate them.  Regardless, please advise.  Thanks!

    uninstall all acrobat/reader versions and retry installing.

  • How can I determine which machines have activated Adobe Acrobat Standard 9?

    How can I determine which machines have activated Adobe Acrobat Standard 9?

    Hi jrector3,
    You need to go to the respective machines and launch Acrobat and check if it prompts for serial number.
    You can also go to the help menu and check if 'Deactivate' option is highlighted.

  • How to re-install Adobe Acrobat Standard XI after re-format my computer?

    Hi,. I purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard XI last year and I re-formated my computer 1 month ago and all software have been removed from my computer including the Adobe Acrobat Standard XI. I would like to know how can I retrieve/ re-install it? I tried to log in to the Adobe website but not sure how to do it. I am using Windows 8.   I will be grateful if someone can help

    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. You can log into your account at Adobe (ID probably the same you used to post here) to get your S/N as long as you registered. When you are successful, be sure to backup the install file and your S/N to a backup HD and/or CD so it is available in the future.
