Creative Cloud Subscribers beware

[Carol J. Elkins]

I subscribe to Adobe's Creative Cloud service for several products 
that are not included in the TechComm Suite. Occasionally, I let the 
Creative Cloud updater do its thing, but I keep an eye on it. 
Apparently I was distracted this time or something, but when I 
allowed it to update all, it completely UNINSTALLED my Acrobat XI 
program and installed its new Acrobat DC. There was no warning, no 
request for permission. I just lost my Acrobat XI installation and 
all of its plug-ins and was presented with the rather bizarre, 
icon-filled screen for Acrobat DC.

Since I am right in the middle of my semi-annual nail-biting project, 
I panicked. I uninstalled Acrobat DC, located my install file for 
TechComm Suite 5, and reinstalled Acrobat XI. Miraculously, all of my 
plug-ins and most of my preferred settings were intact. But I lost a 
couple hours of billable time tending to a problem that Adobe 
created, not to mention nearly having a heart-attack.

So CC subscribers, be careful. Your Acrobat license that came as part 
of TCS is vulnerable to attack by Adobe's Acrobat DC. As for Adobe, 
shame on you.
