Adobe Reader 9.1 is believed to be a security update. More details will be available tomorrow, when it will be "officially" released by Adobe.

In the meantime, AdbeRdr910_en_US.exe and AdbeRdr910_en_US_Std.exe are NOT the same file.

We will probably update this Adobe Reader release after the Windows releases are updated with the Windows Security updates that Microsoft released today.

Sorry, I just noticed that myself. Guess I was in a hurry to post the news

I'm investigating the size difference now.


EDIT: I'm still stumped, why's there 2 setup files? Even here on the ftp server.

I think Acrobat 9.1 Standard (includes Acrobat.com on Adobe AIR) is the entry point for the "for fee" products, whereas Reader
is just the free pdf viewer - I'm not completely sure.

Comparison

[Netizen]

It appears that the larger file includes Acrobat.com and Adobe AIR. The smaller file is just Reader, possibly just the security update and not the whole installation.

I'm going to remove my Reader, AIR and Acrobat.com stuff and try the smaller file to see what loads.

[EDIT]
Okay, so I can confirm that the smaller file is just Adobe Reader 9.1, no extra stuff.

So you guys can decide, the larger file with AIR and Acrobat.com or the smaller file with just the reader.

My personal preference is the smaller file, haven't done anything requiring those other 2 add-ons as yet... Maybe we can split it up?

Adobe Reader:
  - Adobe Reader 9.1
  - Adobe Reader 9.0 Language Support
  - Adobe Air 1.5.1

Being a minimalist, I would vote for the smaller file with no Adobe AIR or Acrobat.com links. I really haven't found a reason to use them yet, even though I have them installed on a number of computers. It wouldn't bother me if everyone else disagreed though; I've found no harm in the extras.

[Black Ghost]

I would do the bigger. I would please everyone. You can just uninstall what you do not want.

44 megs for a pdf viewer is Crazy!

I would sure hate to see the reminders to upgrade as well. I vote for the base pdf viewer, but I use Foxit to be honest.
Reader is simply too bloated of a product anymore.

> 44 megs for a pdf viewer is Crazy!
in deed. but this one may have some kind of bloatware inside. the ptb version of this one has half of it and it's 9.1

[klymax]

Unless AIR is popular with websites, I would go with the Reader only version:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/...dr910_en_US.exe

[James]

I have suspended downloads of Adobe Reader 9.0 as this version is critically insecure.

A new release for Adobe Reader version 9.1 is being tested and will be available very soon.

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/...dr910_en_US.msi

Hope that helps you guys out

Also, command line switches;

			 /sAll				Silent Mode for Product
			 /sPB				 Silent Mode with Progress Bar for Support

			 /ini "PATH"		  Alternative initialization file
			 /sl "LANG_ID"		Set Language; LANG_ID - Code in decimal digits
			 /l				   Enable Error Logging
			 /msi[Command line]   Parameters for MSIEXEC

into my personal version to this one, i choose this:
"module:\AdbeRdr910_pt_BR.exe" /sPB /rs

also i've told a dozen of times already, there's some softwares that claims to himself the .msi extension, completely breaking the install procedure. if i'm not mistaken, Ulead Photo Editor is one of those and this one us to be distributed with digital cameras, scanners and several other image devices. if yours think that this is not an problem... also, .msi installers us to be bigger than .exe

[James]

Don't worry. I'm not using the .msi version.

I like this selection also. Good thing you're not planning to use the .msi cuz it's about 40MB (~ versus 25MB for the "lite" .exe installer)

[Black Ghost]

Has adobe reader been removed?

[James]

Please see post #13 above.
