If someone is concerned about security, why would they disable automatic updates which are coming out to improve security?!?
Because some enterprises dont allow users to install software and they mange updates to application thru applications such as SCCM etc.
I’ve used acrobat X crack version, but some books cann’t save as my bookmarks and comments. There will display me ” The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (110) “, how to solve this problem…Please advise me….
I am not using Acrobat X version, so I can’t help you.
@leonard also because Adobe apparently doesn’t test their releases on all platforms and the updates are killing the reader for some users. I need this option, and am glad for the info. For me the initial install works but after the automatic update it no longer opens regularly, doesn’t give errors, and if it does open it can’t print. This is happening on pre-windows 7 machines, only.
