Acrobat Update September 2023 –
again a new version…
Adobe has again released planned updates for Acrobat on September, 2023. There are two different updaters:
- Acrobat 23.006.20320 for subscribers of the Document Cloud (Continuous Track)
- Acrobat 20.005.30524 for users with a perpetual license of Acrobat 2020 (Classic Track)
There are no more updates for older versions.
The updates can also be installed using the Acrobat menu Help > Check for Updates…
The updates are coming more frequently as Adobe presumably wants to fix flaws/bugs in the new Acrobat user interface as soon as possible.
