Overview

CommonLook PDF Desktop, on the subscription-based licensing model, can check for and notify you of software updates automatically. This article covers how to recognize that an update is available and how to turn on automatic update checks through the CommonLook Update Manager inside Adobe Acrobat. 

Prerequisites 

• CommonLook PDF Desktop Version installed as an Acrobat plugin, on the subscription-based licensing model.
• Adobe Acrobat installed and able to open.
• Do this any time you want update notifications to appear automatically going forward, rather than checking for updates manually.

Steps to Follow

If you have automatic updates turned on, you'll be notified that an update is available as soon as you open Acrobat.

How to Turn On Automatic Updates

1. Open Acrobat (or a specific PDF).
2. Navigate to Plugins.
3. Choose CommonLook.
4. From the sub-menu, choose CommonLook Update Manager.
5. Check the checkbox to Automatically Check for Updates.
6. Close the Update Manager.
