How to update Adobe Acrobat 9.X?

Question

I'm trying to update Adobe Acrobat 9.0 to the latest revision Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5. I downloaded each of the updates, but I keep getting a reminder that normal windows update does not apply. I downloaded the files and normally would then click on each update to update the preceding revision in order. However, it appears this is not the way for these revisions. How do I update the Adobe Acrobat 9.0?

Answer 1

Normally you would either use Help>Updates in Acrobat, though a lot of us do use the manual updates, particularly if the Help route fails. Since you have 9.0, you have about 13 updates to do as I recall. I would download them from the top down as each download indicates the previous version that is needed for applying the update. There are actually AA9 updates, but several can be skipped. Also, you generally do not have to reboot until you finish with the last update. You might want to start with the 9.0 update that I think just adds some options. Then from the updates page you would install 9.1, 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.3, 9.2, etc. If you have downloaded from the top down, you will know which ones you can skip. Is that what you were asking about?
