Adobe reader update buggy?
At Computerworld, Michael Horowitz says Adobe update is not installing the latest version of Adobe PDF Reader:
I was recently working on a new Windows XP machine that came with version 8.1.1 of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Since there have been critical security bugs in the Adobe Reader, I dutifully updated the software with the usual Help -> Check for Updates. All proceeded as it has many times before, with the end result being the installation of version 8.1.3.
The latest edition of the Adobe Reader 8, however, is 8.1.4.
On another Windows machine, running version 8.1.2 of the Adobe Reader, the same thing happened (see below): a check for updates turned up only version 8.1.3.
It seems that, if you already have version 8.13, the update does install the patched version 8.14. So, if you have version 8.12, you may have to do two updates, first to 8.13 and then to 8.14. Way to go, Adobe.
