Adobe Reader X update: unable to save files anymore

[Qwert]

I have updated recently Adobe Reader 10 (or so - don't know, coz the new update erased everything old) and in effect, I have no more access to saving and other options, even changing size. So, I guess the best solution to avoid these "improvements" is just to ignore updating.

Or use Ubuntu Linux, which comes with its own, free, Adobe reader that allows saving etc.

And tell Adobe and Micro$haft they can "put it" wherever the BSOD is kept.

I guess it was not a legal copy. If so, do not upgrade and use your firewall to block anything to do with adobe from accessing the internet.

To my knowledge it was free if not used for professional purposes. Til yesterday. All updates ran smoothly, til yesterday. Anyway, good ideas, guys. Thanks.

The inability to inhibit Active-X, embedded macro's, JavaScript, and various other automation (even when unchecked in the settings menu !) have made even the free Adobe Acrobat reader a poor choice due to endless security risks and hacker exploits for many years now.

Use the older version of the free reader from Foxit Software (.com)
to save copies of all PDF files, and extract pics from them, etc.

The newer ones are OK too,
but the older ones will let you (even) save files
that are marked to NOT let you save a copy for yourself....
