How to Update Acrobat
There are two ways to update Acrobat. One way is by opening Acrobat and going to Help > Check for Updates. I have found that this method doesn’t always work correctly. As a safer solution you can download the updates manually. First let’s check which version of Acrobat you have:
- Open Acrobat and go to Help > About Adobe Acrobat (or Acrobat > About Acrobat on Mac).
- There you’ll see a version number like 8.0.
- Next go to the Adobe site below and check for a more recent update like 8.1.
You will have to save the updates to your computer and then install them.
