About the updating process
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, Acrobat asks whether you want to download the fonts. Other updates are available only from the
Help menu, and you must install them manually. Some updates are available both automatically and manually.
Depending on your preferences settings, Acrobat downloads updates in the background.
Update the software
❖ Choose Help > Check For Updates, and follow any on-screen instructions.
Change updating preferences
1 Choose Help > Check For Updates.
2 In the Adobe Updater dialog box, click Preferences.
3 Select Automatically Check For Adobe Updates, and specify whether you want automatic checking on a weekly
or monthly basis and whether or not you want to be asked before updates are downloaded.
4 Make sure that the application you are running (Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat) is selected as the software that
will be updated.
5 If appropriate, click Browse to navigate to the location in which you want the downloads to be placed.
About Speed Launcher (Windows)
When you install Acrobat, the Speed Launcher program is installed into your computer’s Common Startup group.
The Speed Launcher shortens the time needed to start Acrobat.
Although this is not recommended, you can disable Speed Launcher by dragging its icon out of the Startup folder.
Note: If you have both Acrobat and Reader installed on the same system, two Speed Launcher icons appear in the Startup
folder. If you want to disable Speed Launcher, remove both Speed Launcher icons from the Startup folder.
