Adobe Reader - browser plug-in error - version 21.001.20135

[Phil Gibbons]

Hello. The recent February update of Adobe Reader shows the error "The Acrobat PDF browser plug-in is missing. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to fix this problem." when opening our production software which utilises PDF viewing in VB.net. The only option is for us to uninstall this new version and revert to the previous version and disable the automatic updates services. Please advise if this will be fixed in a future update? Regards, Phil Gibbons, IT Manager.
