How to disable AdobeResourceSynchronizer?

Hi. I'm using Acrobat X Pro and I often see a process AdobeResourceSynchronizer consumes 80~90% of CPU power and doesn't finish even after 30 minutes. My question is, is there any way to disable this process? I have already removed AdobeResourceSynchronizer from my login item but it appears again. Also I didn't use any shared review or tracker.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Thanks,

Jong

    As per advice in this thread, I opened both Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.4.5) and Acrobat Reader (10.1.0), and disabled any tracked reviews.

    Also, I opened the Activity Monitor and quit the "AdobeResourceSynchronizer" process. This process was using over 80% of my CPU power.

    Disabling any track review may not be enough. You should also go to System Prefs, select your account in Users & Groups, then select Login Items and make sure Adobe Resource Synchronizer is not present there. If it is, select it and press the - button.

    Hopefully that would prevent Adobe Resource Synchronizer from opening every time you log in, and then for you to have to kill the process in Activity Monitor.


    After 6-8 months of that pop up finally the fix: mac OS Mojave // installed the newest version. IT HAS STOPPED......... Thank you apple!

    What Mac OS are you running? How are you determining your CPU consumption?

    I'm running Acrobat X on two Macs. When I look at Activity Monitor on either computer, and select All Processes, I don't even see AdobeResourceSynchronizer listed.

    I saw that article but the directories and files look different from mine (The solution is described for Acrobat 8 and I'm using Acrobat X Pro). Especially I can't find RdrENU80SelfHeal.xml file under /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/.

    I have only /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat 10 AMT directory and can't find any similar file like RdrENU80SelfHeal.xml.

    Thank you for your information though.

    The version of Mac OS X is 10.6. It looks like the process doesn't run always. When idle, it springs up suddenly. I don't know where I turn this off and how. I used Activity Monitor too to monitor the process.
