The Check Your Plugins program I run for Firefox 3.6.13 under WXP gives me an orange button stating that the Adobe PDF plugin is outdated and suggests I click to update, but when I do so I do am not taken to an update for the plugin but to a download of 47MB for Adobe Reader X. I find nothing about an updated plugin on the Adobe site or under Adobe downloads. Surely this plugin is not a 47MB program.

You have to download and install the full application in order to get the latest version. The plugin is part of the application.

Thanks, that worked. Interestingly, on the same day I submitted the question to the forum, I opened my Adobe Reader 9.4.1 and asked if any updates were available, and received the response that I was up to date and no updates were available. This at the same time that Adobe X was being offered as a corrective to the PlugIn problem. Now my Adobe Reader is 10.0.0, so there seems to be something strange about Adobe's updating process.

TonyE is correct the plugin version comes with Adobe's Reader X.

The failure in communication is two parted:

1. Reader X is not Acrobat (Mozilla Plugin Checker)

2. Acrobat is not mentioned in the Reader X download Page (Adobe)

therefore confused clients.

For readers CAUTION check the minimum requirements for Reader X.

Here: Adobe's Reader X requirements link

Do not waste the time to download (80+MB and Site is Slow) if your machine does not have the resources to execute it. ie. aging Hardware

Unfortunately the Adobe DLM only checks the requirements after it has downloaded BEFORE the install occurs.

This is very expensive for both the sender and receiver

It might be why they called it READER X and READER 9 will not sense an update...

Another Software company pushing Hardware antiquity...
