May 27, 2013 Support Communities / Mac OS & System Software / Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.
I don't know if this will be permanent or not, but I uninstalled (moved to trash) Adobe Reader, since Preview works so well and I have Acrobat Pro. I've tried emptying the Trash, but it said that AdobeResourceSynchronizer was RUNNING and couldn't be deleted. That's WEIRD! I couldn't even FIND it in the system when trying to do a search using Spotlight. I moved it to teh desktop and tried to open it, but even looking at the line of code in Terminal shed no clue. I ended up doing a restart and VOILA! The system told me that there was a problem with AdobeResourceSynchronizer, I clicked-through and now it's no monger a running process, my temps are coming down as is the fan.
Not only that, but my BATTERY TIME is back up. I love Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat Pro, but I HATE Adobe. Thanks, Adobe, for writing software with BLOATWARE code that screws up my new machine! I've been having the same problem, and I only have Acrobat X Pro (no Reader). I was about to just uninstall it (I think I like 9 better anyway) using Clean My Mac, and got the message 'Adobe Resource Synchronizer still running; want to quit, skip, cancel?' After digging around a bit, I found the Adobe Resource Synchronizer.app here: Applications Adobe Acrobat X Pro Adobe Acrobat Pro.app Contents Support Adobe Resource Synchronizer.app (I imagine the location is similar for Reader, etc.) I just uninstalled that instead of the whole Acrobat app, and watched with delight as my cpu dropped back down in iStat Menus! I briefly ran Acrobat X, and so far I don't see any problems.
Click to expand.I found that app listed in the login files of my account, checked to be hidden. I thot I had it knocked when I did what I think is called a 'right click' on my track pad 2 fingers & mouse-down - did that on the name in the list, and an option appeared, 'reveal in Finder.' Sorry, don't recall where it was. Then I deleted it with AppDelete and emptied trash - not secure - just empty. Then I went back to my login files list and there it was again! This time revealed in Finder as Acrobat X Pro, which leads me to someone's contribution sorry, don't know how to get back into the thread to quote you reporting the path to it: 'Adobe Resource Synchronizer.app here: Applications Adobe Acrobat X Pro Adobe Acrobat Pro.app Contents Support Adobe Resource Synchronizer.app'. That now seems to be the case for me, but I don't know how to get onto/into the path with in an application, so I can't track it down any further.
I've been having similar problems with vpnagent or vpnagentd, and had hoped I'd find them in the login list can't find them to delete them, can't force-quit them w admin pword in Activity Monitor, nor in Terminal 'sudo rm vpnagent'; Terminal denies its existence, altho Activity Monitor and Console name and make it clear it's the troublemaker. So, except for learning a cool move - thanks - going to my login files list, I remain w CPU hogs, a hot MacBook and an incessantly whirring fan.

Click to expand.To get within the Acrobat X Pro application you need to right click on it and select 'Show Package Contents'.
Then you proceed to locate the '.Synchronizer.app' as per the file path you indicated. Once you locate it you delete it and then empty the trash can.
Once you restart your Mac, re-rerun Acrobat X Pro, then re-check the file path location where the '.Synchronizer.app' was stored, you should find that it has been permanently removed. Additionally you can follow Adobe's response to this thread and modify the embedded XML code to hack the self-repar command which is responsible for re-setting this app as a 'hidden' start up item.
