Disable Auto Update in Acrobat Professional 9 for OS X

New Here ,
Aug 17, 2010 Aug 17, 2010

We have a series of installations in a lab/classroom environment where we would like to disable the autoupdate feature of Acrobat Professional 9. Currently when a new user logs in the autoupdater wil launch telling the user that there's a new update available. That's great and all except that a) most users are not admins and couldn't do the update any way, b) we use Sassafras Keyserver and updating the App with IT will cause the keyserver functionality to stop which would then make us fall out of compliance with licensing, c) IT likes to make sure that ALL users are on the same version which means that we need to control when and how updates are installed.

Is there any way to do this and then have the settings propagate to all users?

Hi,

There's no machine level setting to disable ARM for all users in MAC.

However, you could set the update mode to manual using Edit->Preferences->Do not automatically download or install updates. This has to be done by each user since the setting is user specific.

Hope this helps.

Also, I have a small query. When Acrobat\Reader  installed as an admin is launched for a non-admin user, it requires admin credentials on first launch. Since most of your users are non-admin, how are they able to launch Acrobat\reader wihtout providing admin passwords?

the updates prompts that pops in the genius  are boring (am on osx, and that jumps, and that's annoying as it occurs everyday).

Is there a way to delete the crap that launch it ?
