No "About Adobe Reader" tab... How to check for updates?

How do we check the version of Adobe Reader installed on an Android 4.3+ device?  Especially, how do we check that all security patches have been installed? There is no (apparent) "About Adobe Reader" tab.

Hi,
There's "About Adobe Reader" page which tells you the App version. The page comes by "Select help tab", press the hardware Menu button (or select the action bar overflow button on top right) and then select "About Adobe Reader".
For the various new features in Reader and other Help related stuff, you can go to the "Help" tab and find various options there.
Please let us know if there are any issues.
Thanks,
Adobe Reader Team

  • How to check for updates on SCM packages?

    Hey guys,
    I wondered for some time now how to check for updates on SCM packages, i.e. -git
    or -svn ones. Updates for binary packages are automatically updated by pacman,
    no problem there. Checking for updates on non-SCM packages from the AUR is
    easily done with one of the various helper tools available (personally, I use
    slurpy).
    However, SCM packages can change without their PKGBUILD changing, so I'm not
    notified that I should recompile and update them.
    Is there a "proper" way of doing this? Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance!

    If your system is booting then u can say that your bootblks are installed.Usually BootBlks are present in 0 & 1 slice of UFS Filesystem
    /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs
    directory where ufs boot objects reside.
    An x86 FDISK partition for the Solaris software begins with a one-cylinder boot slice, which contains the partition boot program (pboot) in the first sector, the standard Solaris disk label and volume table of contents (VTOC) in the second and third sectors, and the bootblk program in the fourth and subsequent sectors. When the FDISK partition for the Solaris software is the active partition, the master boot program (mboot) reads the partition boot program in the first sector into memory and jumps to it. It in turn reads the bootblk program into memory and jumps to it. Regardless of the type of the active partition, if the drive contains multiple FDISK partitions, the user is given the opportunity to reboot another partition.

  • Adobe Reader 8: How to stop automatic updates

    Today, I noticed that my system was trying to download 8.1.2.
    I did not request a check for updates.
    How do I disable the automatic downloading of updates?
    I loke thru Edit | Preferences and did not find any options to do so.

    Did you reboot?
    I've never seen the Add/Remove programs list go away, that indicates a deeper problem.
    After rebooting, do you see the Add/Remove programs list?
    If not, open the Control Panel, right click and select refresh.
    Does that fix things?
    If not, I suggest posing this question in the microsoft.public.* newsgroup for your OS.

  • Can't figure out how to check for updates in Firefox for Ubuntu

    I'm running "Firefox 3.6.13 Mozilla Firefox for Ubunto canonical - 1.0". How do I check for updates? The how-to here in the help site says to look for the updates item in the Help menu but there isn't any such. I can't find it in the Tools menu, or in Edit>Preferences. Where is it hiding?

    Only the official builds from Mozilla can get updates patches as one cannot expect Mozilla to provide update patches to builds that Mozila did not well build.
    The reason the Help->Check for updates was missing was because Ubuntu removed it.

  • How to check for updates?

    How do I check for updates to Nokia messaging?
    I logged email.nokia.com and went to the support section - it said that to download nokia messaging, I had to go to email.nokia.com on my device browser. But when I tried to do this, nothing loaded, it just sat there trying to load.
    I was trying to find out if there is an update to Nokia Messaging that enables me to open my MS exchange account in Nokia messaging rather than in mail for exchange. I am sick of MfE automatically opening all emails in plain text and having to go options -> show HTML.
    I have an N97 mini.

  • ITunes doesn't know how to check for updates?

    So i know that there is a noew version of iTunes, 6.0.4, why when i check for updates in iTunes does it say that 6.0.3 is the current version? it did this also when 6.0.3 was released. i'm kinda confused here, shouldn't iTunes just check the website and if there is a newer version tell me?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Adobearm.exe error Checking for updates

    I'm getting this error when Adobe Reader 10.1.1 checks for updates.  Since it checks automatically this pops up on it's own when you view a PDF.  It will also do it if you check for updates using the help menu.  Running Windows 7 Enterprise x64.  It's also happening on at least one other computer in our organization.  I've searched all over, but I'm not finding much on it.  I've even gone so far as to run procmon to see if I can see where it's trying to read that it's getting an access denied, but that didn't return anything helpful.  Any help is appreciated.

    1.  adobearm.exe does exist in the location the error states.  Interesting it shows an older date on it.  Not sure it's getting uninstalled with reader each time.  maybe I should delete the arm folder manually when I uninstall and try to reinstall?
    2. it has a valid digital signature from Adobe.
    3. 1.5.5.0
    4. I am admin, but UAC is on.  I had also tried running reader as admin, but it made no difference.
    5. Doesn't matter if you open stand alone pdf or in browser.  You will get the error either way.  Without the help menu in the browser I can't manually check for updates, but it appears to check automatically because it will error on it's own when viewing an online pdf.
    6. Yes double-clicking on a file you get the error.  It's not immediate though.  There is a delay before it automatically checks for updates it looks like.  Once it does you get the error.  I assume it's the checking for updates automatically that causes this anyway since it's the same error when I manually check for updates.  I supposed it could be a different problem that produces the same error.
    7. originally I installed it via the enterprise download package.  I customize the installer using "Adobe Customization Wizard X".  When I discovered the problem I rebuilt the package and reinstalled.  Didn't help.  I then reinstalled using the default Enterprise package with no customization.  Didn't help.  I then installed off the website.  Didn't help.

  • Check for Updates and User Account Control

    With Adobe Reader the 'Check for Updates' function under Help does not appear to function when 'User Account Control (UAC)' in Windows Vista is turned on.
    When UAC is turned off, the 'Check for Updates' works, and if there an update is available for Adobe Reader, it will download and install.
    Other programs that update software funtion with UAC turned on, albeit with the additional dialog boxes that UAC brings, namely the CTL/ALT/DEL and user account logon (when applicable.)
    Without updating the Adobe Reader software, users are leaving themeselves open to vulnerabilities.  Without UAC turned on, users are also leaving themselves open to certain risks.  So there appears to be a dilemma presented.
    Does anyone know if/when Adobe will be changing the 'Check for Updates' functionality so it will behave more in-line with the UAC functionality?
    Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

    With UAC enabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is no selection for updating.  There is nothing for me to click.  Additionally, in Edit, Preferences, Updater, "Do not download or install updates automatically" is selected, and everything on the right pane is greyed-out.
    With UAC disabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is a selection for 'Check for Updates.'  In Edit, Preferences, Updater, I can select the various methods of downloading/updating Adobe Reader.  The option to download the update but not install was selected, as I wanted it to be.
    Finally, I noticed that the notice from Adobe, 'Update is ready to install,' appears in the Windows tray.  And it is this point that somewhat changes the serverity of the problem, that is, while 'Check for Updates' is not available when UAC is enabled, it appears that Adobe can still be updated through the automatic download feature.  The only problem with this is that I cannot tell if the update was downloaded while UAC was enabled (probably not since the download setting says not to) or while UAC was disabled.
    In any case, it still does not appear that our clients can get their Adobe Reader software updated while UAC is enabled.  And this represents a security dilemma for us.

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

  • Conflict between Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader and how I fixed it

    For the past 5 years, I have owned Adobe Acrobat version 9, and recently installed Adobe Reader as well (version 10.7). I was previously able to set up Firefox to use Acrobat to display PDF files in the browser without downloading them, but I recently noticed that this was no longer the case. Instead, every PDF file I tried to view was being downloaded instead. I came here to find a solution, and discovered that many other people are having similar problems. I followed the instructions given here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them), but found that they were actually UNhelpful. They tell you to turn off the Firefox PDF viewer by editing about:config to disable the file pdfs.js, which is the native Firefox PDF viewer-- but that will cause the PDF file type to disappear from the Tools/Options dialog, so you can't assign it to another program (whether Adobe or anything else). This makes it impossible to assign the Adobe plugin to open PDF files. I did figure out a solution on my own, and wanted to post it here to help other users with the same problem.
    I ultimately learned, through trial and error and a lot of research both here and on Adobe's website, that the root cause of my problem was a conflict in Firefox between Acrobat and Reader. I was able to solve it by upgrading Acrobat, getting rid of Reader and enabling the Firefox PDF viewer so that I could assign the PDF file type to the Acrobat plugin within Firefox. Here are the details of my problem and how I solved it:
    1. Acrobat and Reader conflict with each other in Firefox, but this isn't totally Firefox's fault. It's mostly Adobe's fault, and they pretty much admit it. Specifically, they say that Acrobat and Reader can't coexist on the same machine unless both are version 10 or higher. They tell you to upgrade to solve the problem--but I can't afford to pay for a new version of Acrobat. If you have to keep Acrobat 9.x, Adobe says the lowest version of Reader that will work with it is Reader 11. I couldn't upgrade to this because I have Vista, and Adobe hasn't issued Reader 11 for Vista (and doesn't plan to). I did cheat and download the Win 7 version of Reader 11, but it didn't help.
    2. If you have both Acrobat and Reader, you can choose a setting in Reader to make it the default PDF handler--but Firefox ignores this information and defaults to Acrobat no matter what. (This is the part we can blame Firefox for.) If you have a version of Acrobat which is below 9.5.5, Firefox actually blocks it as a security risk, so the plugin won't work at all, regardless of version number. That's why PDFs are being downloaded through your standalone program instead of being displayed in the browser. If you want to view PDFs in Firefox and keep Acrobat on your computer, you MUST upgrade Acrobat to version 9.5.5 or above.
    3. Unless you can upgrade Acrobat to at least 10.x, GET RID OF READER. As long as you can access Acrobat 9.5.5, it will work fine in Firefox and there's no need for Reader. I never used to have Reader myself, only Acrobat, but it must have been downloaded automatically when Acrobat was blocked by Firefox (which I didn't even realize).
    4. IF YOU NEED TO UPGRADE ACROBAT 9.X TO 9.5.5, YOUR LAST CHANCE IS TODAY--6/26/13. Adobe has announced that today is the "end of life" for the Acrobat 9.x platform, and all support and upgrades will cease after today.
    When I searched for updates by going to Adobe's website, it told me there were none available--but when I checked for them FROM THE ACROBAT PROGRAM ITSELF (Help/Check for updates), I was offered a 300 MB upgrade that took me all the way from version 9.0 to 9.5.5 in one step. (It did take a very long time to download and install.)
    5. Once you have Acrobat 9.5.5, this is how to enable it in Firefox:
    a. INSIDE ACROBAT, set your preference for "Internet" to "view PDF files in browser." Close Acrobat. Close Firefox if it's already open.
    b. Reopen Firefox. Check Tools/Add-Ons/Plugins to make sure the Acrobat plugin is there. Enable it if disabled. Close Firefox.
    If the plugin isn't there at all, repair your Acrobat installation through Control Panel. Then return to Firefox and enable it. Close Firefox.
    c. Reopen Firefox again. Go to Tools/Options and check the list of file types. For the names that contain "Adobe" and "Acrobat," Acrobat should be set as the default program to open them. Select it from the drop-down list if it's not. Continue to scroll through the alphabetical list--you should see another entry called Portable Document Format. If it's there, the default will be "preview in Firefox." You should be able to change this to "Acrobat (in Firefox)" using the drop-down menu. Do NOT pick the option that says "Acrobat"--this is the standalone program and will cause your PDFs to be downloaded.
    If you don't see "Acrobat (in Firefox)" as an option, this means your plugin is not working. Go back and fix it using the instructions above (including repair of Acrobat if necessary).
    d. If you don't see a file type for "Portable Document Format" at all, that means the Firefox PDF viewer is disabled. You must enable it by editing the about:config file. To see it, type about:config in the Firefox address bar. You will get a warning message--just click OK and keep going.
    This file is a long list of statements in alphabetical order. LOOK FOR A STATEMENT THAT SAYS "pdfjs.disabled" with a Boolean value of "true." Select this statement and right-click. A context menu will offer you choices including "Toggle." Select that one, which will change the Boolean value to "false." Exit about:config. Close Firefox.
    e. Now return to Tools/Options, scroll through the list of file types, and you should see "Portable Document Format." Select "Acrobat (in Firefox)" as in the instructions above. Close Firefox.
    f. The first time you try to open a PDF file in Firefox, you may get a dialog box which offers you choices of how to open the file. The first will be Acrobat, but DON'T CHOOSE THAT--it will cause your PDF to download. Instead, go to the choice that says "Open as application/pdf." You don't need to change the program that opens this file type, because your settings are already correct. Your PDF should open in the browser, with the full-featured Acrobat menu (including the option of editing or saving the file).
    I hope other users can benefit from the truly painful experience I had figuring all of this out. Good luck.

  • I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    There are no viruses currently affecting the Mac but there is something called Flashback which is malware that has been doing the rounds and affected many Mac users. Apple have released some updates to Java that should remove it and improve protection. Run Software Update to see if there is anything for downloading.
    A few precautions that can help prevent your Mac becoming infected:
    If you use Flash only download it directly from Adobe.
    In all web browsers disable Java (but do leave Javascript on as that's something else).
    In all web browsers make sure downloaded files aren't set to automatically open after downloading.
    Consider disabling Java completely (launch Java Preferences in the Utilities folder and disable it - you'll likely rarely, if ever need it. If you do just turn it on and off again when your done).

    Hello ibebry
    Try using the Software Update on your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Software Update. One thing to keep in mind if you are trying it on the computer is to make sure that you are not pressing any keys down when checking for updates as that may bring up a pop up window to find the update file. 
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
