I would like to 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

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.

    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.

  • Silent update Adobe Reader while used (like Flash Player)

    Hi everyone,
    I wanted to know if there is a way to update Adobe Reader while people are using it. I know that Flash Player can be updated while Internet Explorer or Firefox are used by users. Then flash player updates itsell when the browser is closed.
    So is there an install switch or a way to install Adobe Reader updates while people are using it like Flash Player ?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you swith Adobe Reader to automatic updates, it will intelligently try to update when user is not using the product for a few (I think 3) days. If it can't find an appropriate time, it will update and aks the user to reboot.

    I have had lightroom for awhile and would like to know how to update to lightroom 5 and how much it will cost

    You can buy an upgrade to 5 for $79 from the Adobe store: Products. You can buy it for a few dollars cheaper (not counting tax and delivery) from Amazon and other places online.
    When you install 5 and start it, it will make a copy of your 4 catalog and convert it to version 5 (leaving the 4 catalog untouched): Lightroom catalog FAQ.

  • Adobe Reader Updater download

    I keep getting a message that a new version of Adobe Reader Updater is available. I don't want to download from the Updater message itself, instead would like to download directly from Adobe downloads, wherever that might be. I've been scouring their site and can't find it anywhere.
    One other pertinent question, actually: do I really need the new Updater? What will happen if I never get it? (Currently installed Reader 8.1.2)

    Thanks Niel,
    I don't want to use the Updater to install the updates, but just to find out if there are any, which I would then get from Adobe downloads.
    I guess if it just stops working at some point I can always go to the Adobe website from time to time to see if there are any new ones. I suppose the new Updater version might be included in the next Reader Update anyway.

  • Suppressing Adobe Reader Updates

    How do I stop those Adobe Reader Update messages that keep popping from time to time ?. I run Adobe Reader in a terminal server and do not want these messages to pop up.
    thanks

    I USED to like adobe PDF, I thought it was a great concept but now abode Acrobat takes over 1 GigHD to install, and the reader takes over 300Mb RAM just running, and the constant updates, updates, updates, updates, updates .... Drove me nuts, so the solution was to get rid of it
    -- Now I have a few hundred dollars of software that I cannot re-sell, just sitting on a shelf collecting dust, but I am happy!!
    After removing adobe acrobat* anything and everything --
    Installed PDF Creator (Opensource) to make my pdfs.
    And
    Install Sumatra PDF (Opensource) to read the pdfs.
    They are very low resource intensive, and very small foot print, insignificant in size compared to the voracious Adobe PDF aps and I do not get pelted with constant updates -- yes it is like a virus, constantly calling home and constantly updating.
    If I had my way I would get rid of FLASH as wel, and the constant update reminders as well.
    No more memory hug running  reminding me about updates and life is good.

  • I would like to be able to update my photo collection dynamically

    I have a photo album that goes through a sequence of same
    sized photos. However when I want to change the photos I always
    have to go into flash and change stuff which is time consuming. I
    would like to be able to update my photo collection dynamically by
    just changing the files in the folder in my computer called images.
    The .swf file would respond to this by showing the new sequence of
    files in this folder. This would save me much time.
    thnks very much for any advice.

    you can use an XML file to grab the images, and flash can
    parse them out and display them, then when you want to make a
    change, you could either rename the photo the same as the old one,
    or update the XML file.

    I cannot edit a PDF file.  When I try it redirects me to payment screen and I have already paid for this!  I would like to talk to someone per phone.  You have easily taken my money and I would like support.

    "Adobe dc program"???
    Such does not exist; at least not from Adobe.
    As has been asked - What, specifically, was subscribed to? It is identified on the receipt Adobe provides for each subscription account one opens.
    Be well...

  • Bug in all Adobe Reader Updates.

    Recently i have take notice of a bug in all the updates i get of Adobe Reader.
    When i first installed Adobe Reader i think i can remember choosing not to create a desktop shortcut.
    But whenever Adobe Reader updates, a desktop shortcut is created!
    Now, as i have chosen not to have the shortcut, the fact that one is created with every single update, must clearly be a bug.
    None of my other applications does this.
    Is it possible with a fix? or does Adobe go the way of so many other software developers does? "It's not a bug, It's a feature!"
    (bah! this was not supposed to be marked as a question, just a bit of a rant, but i'm new to the forums, so i didn't notice the option)
    Message was edited by: Rofleman

    Thank you for the correction.
    Been a while since i did a proper install of Reader. Mostly just do silent push install on our clients.
    Still don't think it is correct of the bug/update to create a desktop shortcut though...
    If someone want the desktop shortcut, they most likely will have it on the desktop allready, and those who doesn't have it on the desktop, are those who have removed it, and thus most likely doesn't want it back.
    So not adding the desktop shortcut would actually shrink the size of the update. Not by much, but that is irrelevant.
    It's a useless thing, that doesn't need to be there.

  • Adobe Reader Updater - Error 1402. Could not open key:

    Adobe Reader Updater, error 1402, could not open key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Opt
    I might have accidently discontinue. Can any body help me????

    Hi,
    It  looks like you do not have access to the registry key mentioned i.e.  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current  Version\Run\Optional Components\IMAIL.
    This might be due to  the fact that you may not be added to the Administrators group or the  registry key has been denied access explicitly to a group that you may  be part of.
    People in my network setup were facing the same issue,  and we fixed the same using Microsoft's "subinacl" tool. You can follow  the below mentioned steps to rectify your issue as well:
    1. Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
    2. Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
    3. Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start -> Run and type "cmd" and click OK)
    4. In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
        i. cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
       ii. subinacl  /subkeyreg  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Opti  onalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f  /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
    You  should see some processes happening on your screen. After the process  ends, retry the update operation you were originally trying to perform.  Hopefully, it should succeed now.
