Download the Latest Adobe Reader Update to Resolve an Issue Filling Out PDF Forms 


 



	
By Elizabeth Whitaker on January 13, 2026





A recent update to Adobe Reader introduced an issue that prevented users from filling out PDF forms with screen readers such as JAWS. When navigating a form, keyboard focus did not move from field to field, making it impossible to reach form controls or enter information.



Adobe has resolved this issue in their latest update of Adobe Acrobat Reader. To update:

 


1.	Open Adobe Acrobat Reader.
2.	Press ALT+H to access the Help menu, then C to check for updates. The software will check for updates and notify you if an update is available.
3.	Press the TAB key to navigate to the Install button, and press ENTER. The updater will run and install the update.
4.	Once the update is installed, a notification message will be displayed. Press the TAB key to navigate to the Close button, and press ENTER to activate it. Your Adobe Reader will be up-to-date.
