Again... Acrobat is an excellent app... it's just that the installers suck.

"Unlike 8.x and 9.x, 10.x update and patch installers are now cumulative as follows:
Macintosh quarterlies are always cumulative to the base release and ***you can install the latest version over any previous version."***
Finally, you don't have to download and update every single patch! Adobe is listening. How about that?

However, it's also far behind most popular Mac softwares, OmniGraffle, for instance, to provide intuitive UI and user experience. For example, Acrobat seems not have multi-processes at the same time. Hence, once you have some OCR processing, you lose the ability to read/editor other PDFs at the same time. It's quite disappointing.
In addition, OCR PDFs do not totally play well with OS X's PDF Kits. I note that once these OCR PDFs are saved by Previews, the OCR txt are gone forever.
Some PDF created by Acrobat have problem while scrolling with other Mac PDF reader, i.e. Previews, Skim. These pages will somehow delay while you try to scroll up and down.
Touchpad gestures are mostly useless in Acrobat. You cannot simply zoom in/out by pinching your fingers. The Bookmarks feature seems a little bit doom. If it could adopt the (Shift-)TAB key to (un)indent the current editing bookmark. That would be fantacy.
Another wish for Acrobat is the the support for multiprocessors. I am currently using Intel's i5/7 processors. Acrobat fails to use the power of CPU. Even in OCR processing, the CPU loading for Acrobat somehow stay only around 100% instead of 7xx% like Handbreak does. That's not good enough.

Ok, I can use a bookmark, but that is a few unnecessary clicks and also Acrobat pro does not store the view (e.g. if I had it fullscreen, return to full-screen; if I had a two-page view, return to that as well).
Crazy times. GoodReader on iOS does all that and more without a blink. Maybe there's just not enough competition on the desktop?
Thankful to anybody who can name some reasons for this insanity.

I also upgraded to CS 5.5 and Acrobat X. PDF Portfolio feature is still half baked and Acrobat javascript performance is abysmal. Adobe encourages users to learn about extra tools and features, but then does a poor job supporting those same tools when they do not work as advertised.
Acrobat X seems to be more stable than 9 or 8, so maybe it is going in the right direction...

Must apply each update as it is released and if you alter (i.e. add a plugin the next updater doesn't 'like' you'll have to go back and completely reinstall Acrobat and apply every single updater one-at-a-time again!!
Can't live without Adobe and you can't live with them!
My rating is ONLY for the updater. I give the Acrobat Pro app 5 stars.

So I had to use Pacifist to extract the plugins from the installer package and manually put them in place.

So - it looks like I have to reinstall CS4 to update Acrobat from 9 to 9.1. Or I could remove Acrobat from my mac.... hmmmm.. what to do, what to do...

Months ago I manually reinstalled from the disc, followed by each update to that point. Fine. But with any new updates since then it's the same old crap, with the same message.
Even Adobe's web site is like going around your head to reach your nose. There's no excuse for this nonsense considering what they charge for Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Interestingly, Adobe's FREE Reader is an easy update.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF AN APP THAT HAS FEATURES SIMILAR TO ADOBE ACROBAT PRO? If so, I would gladly purchase it.

Same old same old garbage from Adobe. The app is vanilla, unmodified install straight off my CS4 install disc and the updater fails. Garbage garbage software. How is it that Adobe can get away with this?
Updater tells me to reinstall original software then run updater - its the same for M$ Office - reinstall the software to update it.. Huh? What is this? Windoze world??
Hello - is anyone from Adobe listening?? I spent big bucks on CS4 and I can't keep the software up to date? Honestly, does Adobe think they will keep their user base with behaviour like this?

I have 8.1.1 installed as part of CS3
Installer does not see Acrobat 811 as a valid app to update. I have had so many problems with Acrobat Pro 8 (CS 3) to the point where I question the worth of all the stress. Most of the time Acrobat doesnt launch, crashes on startup, or crashes during use. I have vanilla OS X 10.5.2 and this is the one app that gives me grief.
Adobe needs to do some serious work on this.

Acrobat needs the Chinese fonts that are removed using DeLocalizer.
I ran the Adobe updater utility found in the Utilities folder. It reinstalled those fonts.
Everything works fine now.
Hope this helps!
