How To Manage Update Settings in Adobe Reader

Adobe Reader lets you customize the way the software updates itself. Below is a detailed, step-by-step tutorial that will show you how to manage these update options.

Step 1. First of all you need to fire up Adobe Reader. So double click the Adobe icon on the desktop, the Adobe icon from the Start Menu, or whatever other means you employ to launch the application.

Step 2. Look to the top left corner of the Adobe Reader window and you will see a list of menus. You need to click the Edit menu.

Step 3. From the dropdown menu that appears click Preferences.

Step 4. The Preferences window will appear. From the left hand side, under Categories, click Updater (the last item in the list).

Step 5. Now switch over to the right hand side of the window. There you will see three options:
Automatically install updates – Adobe Reader will download and install updates all on its own.
Automatically download updates, but let me choose when to install them – Adobe Reader will download updates on its own, then prompt you to install them.
Do not download or install updates automatically – Adobe Reader will not do anything by itself. You will have download and install updates on your own.

Select the option that suits your needs. Then press OK and you’re done. -FindMySoft
