Thanks for this.
The sneaky bugger was in the process of downloading a 32MB update before I caught it.
THANK YOU for posting this. They hid the update preferences in the help menu? What is Adobe's OCD fixation with updating their reader on all of our systems? And why does it continutally need to be patched so much? I wonder how much processing power and electricity this wastes worldwide everyday.
Thanks for information!
Esto solo funciona si el usuario esta conectado a internet.
Si no esta conectado no aparece la opcion preferencias.
Many thanks for this. :D
thanks man!!! I was looking for that.
Many Many Thanks for the Tweak.....
Cheers Dude! - A couple of us couldn't quite figure out how to do this until googling and found your article. A valuable blog post!
Thank you. Saved me 105MB of useless downloads!

Thanks buddy! It helped me too!
thanks dude
It helped me a lot! Tks! Again and again!
Great!!
Good Job!
There's more too. What I typicaly do to adobe reader after I install it is to find 'updater.api' in its plugins folder, and remove all permissions to it, then do the same thing for 'reader_sl,exe' and any DLL or EXE files that look like they have anything to do with updates.
Seriously do we really need all this JUNK running in the background?! Alternativly, on my personal PC I just use Foxit Reader, its lightweight without loads of bloat.
it works
thank a lot
Thanks a lot man!!! You really saved a lot of bandwidth and usage for me....
