Thanks again, dencorso! Your patch works perfectly. I have tried opening a number of pdf files, and so far no nag warning box. I have also run a couple of Word to pdf conversions, and everything seems to be working normally. As you stated in your original post, when I check the "properties" for Acrobat.exe the appropriate version numbers have been successfully changed: File Version: from 6.0.5.399 to 6.0.6.400 Product Version: from 6.0.6.2007010800 to 6.0.6.2008011100 I applied your patch before I saw the above post from fhub, offering an alternate patch. Thanks fhub! I've downloaded a copy of your patch for future use, if needed. Ken B

Thanks, dencorso! I should have no problem following your instructions. One more question, though: Do I need to copy BOTH Acrobat.exe AND Acrobat.ori back to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Acrobat folder? Why does Acrobat.ori need to be there? My reason for trying this patch is to eliminate the VERY annoying pop-up "nag" message box (see the original post in this thread) that I see when I open just about ANY pdf file that I download: "This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support. It may not display correctly. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of out Acrobat products. Please visit our product site at <http://www.adobe.com/acrobat>" It sure will be great if this patch stops those pop-ups! Thanks again, Ken B

Can someone please post very specific directions to apply the patch for Acrobat 6.0.6 Standard? Although the Acrofull.pat file is linked in the original post, the directions are specific to the Acrobat Reader, not the full Acrobat 6.0.6. I have NO experience with DOS, so here is what I've done: In my version of Win XP there is no C:\Windows\command\ folder, so I created one, and placed the patch.exe file there. My full version of acrobat 6.0.6 has: Acrobat.exe in the C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat6.0\ folder, rather than: AcroRd32.exe in a C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\ folder. So, I placed the unzipped Acrofull.pat file in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\ folder Then I renamed "Acrobat.exe" in that folder to "Acrobat.ori". Now, I assume that the "patch -p AcroRd32.ori AcroRd32.pat AcroRd32.exe" command would have to be changed to something like: "patch -p Acrobat.ori acrofull.pat Acrobat.exe". I have tried various ways of running the patch -p... command from the XP "Run" box, as well as from the "Command Prompt" utility, but nothing has worked so far! Can someone give VERY SPECIFIC directions for running the Acrofull.pat command in Windows XP? Assume I know absolutely nothing about DOS (you'd be right)! Thanks a bunch for any help or suggestions!
