Adobe Acrobat invasion
I use WORD 2002 and WIN XP. Recently, I installed Adobe Acrobat Professional. Now that program has invaded my WORD with new items in the tool bars. Worse, WORD no longer saves changes of setup, e.g. new macros, i.e. does not update Normal.dot. How do I get rid of the Adobe interference? -- CF.Scheel, PB 108 Röa N-0701 Oslo, Norway |

Hi Graham,
Many thanks for the info. Yes I have Acrobat 7. - We ought to sue companies that trespass on our property... If one million users spend one hour in removing the nuisance, that should cost Adobe at least $10 Million in damages... Christian On Thu, 01 Jun 2006 12:08:22 +0200, Graham Mayor wrote: Acrobat 7?

Hi C.F.,
Adobe has supposedly fixed it in an update: http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331259.html Not sure if the fix works reliably. Klaus |

Updating to 7.05/7.07 fixes the problem.
I agree with you in principle, but *who* gets the $10M?

It would be divided among the users; like the litigants in any other class
action suit, each user would get a dollar or two at most, and the lawyers would get the lion's share. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, but after paying, the perpetrator would hopefully learn to keep
his hands off my WORD-setup without asking nicely in advance. :=| On Fri, 02 Jun 2006 01:53:41 +0200, Suzanne S.

Adobe Acrobat invasion
Hi Klaus,
Even if they have fixed it, I still protest: out of principle, no one should invade my WORD setup without my permission. It is no less serious than a physical break-and-entry. - BTW I am not all that impressed by the Adobe programs anyway.

Completely agree. It is arrogant in the extreme to interfere with
someone's work in another application. Have just tried downloading acrobat after a complete disk reload. It takes forever, and *after* it has done everything says that it can't deal with my version of IE (which is adequate for everything else). However, it put an unusable icon on my desktop, which was the devil to remove. There was no uninstall program as such and files are all over the place. The earlier versions of the product were OK. But now I will never use an adobe product again, and all my colleagues know not to bother me with any PDF files. Greed and stupidity will ruin any product in the end. cfscheel Hi Klaus, Even if they have fixed it, I still protest: out of principle, no one should invade my WORD setup without my permission.

I haven't heard any complaints about invasiveness on the part of the Reader.

Adobe Acrobat invasion
It didn't 'invade your Word setup without your permission'. You gave it
permission when you chose to install an application that interfaces with Word. It works by means of an add-in that adds a toolbar. Adobe, rightly or wrongly, assumes that if you install that add-in you may actually want it. If you didn't want the software, why did you buy it? You did buy it? Word provides the means to control its add-ins. That control is explained in greater depth in my web site article posted earlier in the thread. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org cfscheel cfscheel (at) wrote: Hi Klaus, Even if they have fixed it, I still protest: out of principle, no one should invade my WORD setup without my permission.
