Possibly off topic: "Adobe Anchor Service": WTF?

Adam Cameron. Aug 28, 2010 5:55 AM

G'day

My CFB trial has finally expired so I am deinstalling it.

I notice alongside the raft of other Adobe applications installed on my machine, there's something called "Adobe Anchor Service". What's that then? Can I get rid?

I have the following Adobe products installed, is it something to do with one of them:

AIR

CF8 & CF9 (am sure it's nowt to do with CF)

Flash Player plugin & activex

Flex Builder 3.0

Acrobat Reader

I've googled about a bit, but cannot get any good answer; most docs on this Anchor Service are other people asking this same question, as far as I can tell.

This post is rather old but, I'm gonna attempt to answer. Basically, the service is similar to Abobe's "Switchboard.exe"/"Switchboard Server". A simple "bridge" and/or framework between your Adobe applications. Hence, it won't disrupt your workflow greatly.

PS: This is only my opinion.
