Not quite:

- Every time Acrobat will be updated (using Adobe Updater for  
example), all "self-heal components" (mostly the Adobe PDF plugin, the  
PDFMaker add-on to Microsoft Office, and the Adobe PDF virtual  
printer) will be reinstalled without asking.

- Every now and then Acrobat checks whether these components are  
present, and if so asks whether they should be reinstalled. Once I  
think I was offered a check box "Don't ask again", but now I can't  
find it anymore.

- The above check can be initiated manually from within Acrobat, using  
Help > Repair Acrobat Installation.

You can see what the self-heal components are by Ctrl-clicking the  
Acrobat application, and navigating to

/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional/Adobe Acrobat  
Professional.app/Contents/MacOS/SelfHealFiles

(or similar for Adobe Acrobat 7 or Adobe Reader).
