I have Adobe Reader 9.4.4. What is the difference between this and Adobe Reader X 10.0.1? I'm not sure what Adobe Reader X is? Is 'X' the newest version?

I meant I found no update for Acrobat X using the internal updater. Probably will wait for that giving that I have had several problems when updating Reader previously.

Thanks for the links, etc chachazz this hopefully will make the transition a little less painful than it can be.

For those updating Adobe Reader 10.X (Sandbox) the update re-introduces an item to MSCONFIG that is User Choice and may depend on how your fetched the update.

Thank you chachazz . Just got the update for Acrobat. It says:
quote:
The Adobe Acrobat 10.1 Pro and Standard update adds support for new platforms and mitigation for security issues (for details see Security Bulletin APSB11-16) while providing more overall stability. For more information regarding enhancements and issues addressed in this release, see the Release Notes. This update is cumulative and can be applied to version 10.0 of Acrobat Pro or Standard with or without patches 10.0.1, 10.0.2 or 10.0.3 already applied.
The update required a reboot. It was only available via direct download and not through the internal updater. The "Release Notes" link has not been updated and does not say anything about this version.

You might try it again. I was able to get the update through Adobe X | Check for Updates.

Nope, I'll wait a bit, if not, I'll upgrade through the manual updater.

I got the internal updater to work with Vista but not with W7 64 bit. Thanks for the link I have another option aside from the ftp site.

I kept checking for updates yesterday, and they were not available to me until later in the day, after I had done the MS updates. That's probably just as well. Thanks for heads up.

I am still running Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and then I in stalled Patch/Update 9.4.5. I have all the patches for this version from 9.4.1 to 9.4.5. My question is, is there any way to install all these patches for version 9.4.0 all at once without having to install them one by one from their own setup file? I just want to save time as possible with a new PC to be prepared....

So, kind of like an installer package of some sort of thing like that. Is there any way to do this? It would be like the Windows Update ROLLUPS...Its an all-in-one installer package which includes ALL the patches and update in ONE package.

Thx.

Appears that 10.0 already had a separate "1001" patch file incorporated into the 10.0 release. Expanded, that patch, AdbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp is ~12 MB in size.

Reader 10.1 installs another service in windows.... armsvc that is set to automatic and checks for updates. I changed it to manual since I don't need another unnecessary service in the tasklist.
