Wasn't version 8.1.2 released a while back, and I believe also to address a (possibly also critical) security issue? A lot of people should have that version already probably just based on that. |

I currently use Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard and the manual updater only takes me as far as 6.0.6. This is after a fresh install of XP Pro and SP3 update.
Prior to the new installation the updater installed 7.0 thru 8.1. by automatic update.
I have searched the Adobe site and the best I can ascertain is that I may have to pay for an updated version.
I have to admit that the Adobe site leaves me a bit bewildered.
Can anyone enlightening me as to Adobe policy? |

Does an upgrade from Adobe Reader 7 to Adobe Reader 8.1.2 require a restart? |

Everready, did you download and install the programs 7 to 8.1.2 in a group or individually?
I installed 6.0.2 thru 6.0.6 as a group, rebooted and all installed successfully.
I believe after all are installed you (as read from an old post) can uninstall thru Add and Remove programs, all but the first and last versions of Adobe. I can't say that is gospel in all cases, but that is what I did when I had the full series 6.0 thru 8.1 |

I thought it was released awhile back also like the first week of February.

I uninstalled 7.0 through Add or Remove Programs and then installed 8.1.2 and all went well. Is it possible to turn off the updater?
Edit: I found this with a Google Search
Delete a folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater5
Problem solved. |
