Maintaining the software
Updating the software
Acrobat application files and components can be updated in a variety of ways. Some updates are available when you
open a PDF that triggers the updating process automatically. For example, if you open a form that uses Asian-language
fonts, you are asked whether you want to download the fonts. Other updates are available only from the Help menu,
and must be installed manually. Some updates are available both automatically and manually.
Manually update the software
❖ Choose Help > Check For Updates, and follow any on-screen instructions.
Change updating preferences
1 Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat/Adobe Reader > Preferences (Mac OS).
2 From the Categories on the left, select Updater.
3 In the Check For Updates section, select an option for installing updates.
Manage security settings
If your organization uses server-based security policies, you can set up Acrobat to regularly check for updates to these
policies. Server-based security is set up by an administrator who provides the URL from which to get security updates.
1 In the Preferences dialog box under Categories, select Security.
2 In the Security Settings, select Load Security Settings From A Server.
3 Type the server address in the URL field.
4 Select how often you want to check for security updates.
5 Select Ask Before Installing to receive notification before the server is checked for policy updates.
Adobe Digital Editions
Use the free Adobe® Digital Editions software to read and organize eBooks and other publications. Digital Editions is
a separate web-based rich internet application (RIA) that replaces the eBooks features in previous versions of Acrobat.
