Acrobat and Adobe Reader Updates
One of the question/complaints I get when I tell someone I work for Adobe is how do I turn off the updates? Most of the time it is the Adobe Reader that is in question and they are refusing to actually update, and they just close the update window each time. What I will tell you is that the updates are very critical and will become even more critical as we advance applications like Acrobat 3D. Only certain versions of both Acrobat and the Free Adobe Reader will support some of the new functionality. My advice is to update when notified. If you absolutely insist on turning off the updates, you can go through the Help - Update and then at the end of the update you can click "preferences" and uncheck the box that says automatically check for updates. If you are IT administrator you can disable updates during the installation using the Adobe Customization Wizard. We are having an upcoming IT eSeminar on May 1st if you would like more information.
