Installation and updating of Adobe Reader 11 on completely offline, air gapped PCs?

Is it possible to install Adobe Reader 11 on a PC that does not have Internet access (and never will have Internet access, even for a brief moment, for security reasons)?  I understand that Adobe no longer sells software on media such as DVDs, so I would expect to download it on a computer with Internet access, then transfer it via sneakernet to the computer without Internet access, and install it there.
If it is possible to install Reader on an air gapped PC, is it possible to perform a minor (bug fix or security) update of Reader (say from 11.0.07 to 11.0.08) by downloading the update on a different PC, transferring it to the PC without Internet access, and then installing the update there?
After having successfully installed Reader on an air gapped PC, will it run indefinitely without ever having an Internet connection?  (In other words, will it need to check in with an Adobe server once every 60 days, and if it can't, will it stop working, or anything like that?)
Can someone point me to official, documented answers to these questions on the Adobe website to make sure there's no misunderstandings or subtle gotchas?
Thanks!

Here you can get the links to the update patches: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows
I suggest that you disable update checking completely on the offline computer.

  • Installation and updating of Acrobat XI on completely offline, air gapped PCs?

    Is it possible to install Adobe Acrobat XI on a PC that does not have Internet access (and never will have Internet access, even for a brief moment, for security reasons)?  I understand that Adobe no longer sells software on media such as DVDs, so I would expect to download it on a computer with Internet access, then transfer it via sneakernet to the computer without Internet access, and install it there.  Is this possible only with a particular flavor of Acrobat (Creative Cloud vs standalone), or with a particular license (VIP, ETLA, CLP, TLP)?

  • Updated to Adobe Reader XI and now it wont open PDFs

    I'm running Windows XP and updated from Adobe Reader 9 to XI. Firefox required the update. I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall XI, but I still get the same error. I have included the screencaps of the errors. Anyone else have any ideas of things I could try or why it might be giving me this error? I'm opening the PDFs from the file on my desktop. I have tried both double clicking the file and right clicking and hitting open.

    Hello maddisonsf
    Try downloading iTunes from the link below and run the installer that comes with it to see if that resolves the issue of not starting up for you.

    I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac OS version 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work.  How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

    I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)."  My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac?  Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.

  • Can't open files after update to Adobe Reader 10.1.1

    I have Windows 7, 64 bit.  I recently relented to constant requests to update my Adobe Reader 9.0 (free vers.) to Adobe Reader X.  The update erased my former version. Now I can't open any of the .pdf files as it says "the network path was not found."  I tried the  Repair installation, it just installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1, which I assume is the same as the X version.  How do I get Adobe Reader to open my .pdf files?

    Try running the combo update.
    10.9.5 Combo Update
    If that doesn't work, try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • After updating to adobe  reader 11.0.3 my registry was corrupted with a gapi32.dll missing error. I

    after updating to adobe  reader 11.0.3 my registry was corrupted with a gapi32.dll missing error. It was not missing and was conflicting with outlook as this dll file is a common file. The only way I could fix the problem was to do a system restore back to when I had the 11.0.2 version and everything will work with that. You have a problem with version 11.0.3 installation. The same thing happened on 3 computers so I know it is this new version of adobe reader which is the problem.

    It would be great, if you could provide us with the following details:
    1. The OS you are working on.
    2. The version of MS Office installed on your machine.
    3. A screenshot of the error message along with the scenario in which the same is displayed.
    4. How exactly did you go about updating Reader 11.0.02 to 11.0.03. Was it via the updater mechanism or by downloading the patch from the Adobe site.
    Also, it would be great if you could let us know if there was any other Windows or Antivirus related updates applied on your machine in the same timeframe as the Reader update.

  • Error message update to Adobe Reader XI

    Hi!
    After an update to Adobe Reader XI in my windows PC I got the error message:
    The URL you entered could not be reached. Make sure the URL is correct and that the network location can be reached.
    I had no problem with using Adobe Reader before update to Adobe Reader XI.

    Is there anything else beside the number 2203?

  • I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?

    I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?

    Yes.
    If you double click on a PDF and your system uses 8 to open it, you may have to repair (Help>Repair... in Reader) the 9 installation or you could change your file associations to use 9 to open PDF files.
    If 9 opens them already, just remove 8 and you're good to go.

  • Why can't I update/install adobe reader on my Mac?

    I am trying to read and save items from my credit card and they won't load. Get a popup that says I need to update my adobe reader. I downloaded it andget nothing. Also tried calling their help line and got some guy I had trouble understanding. All he wanted to do was sell me soft wre to fix my computer coasting between $100 and $200, I AM VERY UPSET. Also download asks about reading and agreeing to their terms and liencing, but strangely they don't show me how to find them to agree or review. What is wrong with this company?

    You can download Adobe Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    This will get you a copy of reader with no enhancements/ads for other products. The new Reader needs to be installed and the company you are downloading from has no idea if you have Reader on your computer or not. They have no idea. Your credit card company is just doing its usual job of terrible support and service.
