<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I am having the same problem. The best solution I’ve been able to come up with so far is to create an AppleScript that does nothing, name it Adobe Updater.app, and replace the real updater with it. I set its permissions so that it cannot be replaced with the real one. Kludgy but seems to be marginally effective. Though for some reason it does seem to get replaced with the real version on some Macs, though not all—I’m still investigating.<BR>

Adobe claims there is a way to turn off the checking for updates, but it only seems possible if you use their distribution method, which involves replacing an XML document somewhere with one that turns off the updating. Since we use Composer, we can’t replace that file. Perhaps there is a way to turn the option off elsewhere? It’s frustrating.<BR>
<BR>
Glad to hear I’m not alone and eager to hear others’ solutions,<BR>

I'm having an issue with packaging Adobe Acrobat Pro. I need to disable the self-healing, as my users are not admin and can't authenticate to self-heal themselves, but at the same time, I want the apps to work properly, and when self-healing is completely disabled Distiller doesn't work consistenly well until the Self Healing is run. <BR>
<BR>
Has anyone had any success finding a balance between useability and functionality when packaging Acrobat Pro 8 or 9? <BR>
