Acrobat Reader

For many years I have had trouble free borrowing from Borrow Box.Having changed my computer and moved from Windows 10 to Windows 11 I have experienced difficulties.I can borrow a book, download it to the computer and so read it but the transfer to my e-reader via Adobe Digital Editions no longer functions.I have ensured that the edition of ADE is current, even dis-installing and installing again but on opening the app I am confronted with a blank page. The top line with "File Edit Reading Help" is all that appears, there is no list of books borrowed, "Help" indicates it is authorised to the computer but downloaded thumb print fails to open. Can you please advise as I have no further ideas

I use Adobe Printer as my default PDF printer, but as soon as I print a document the Adobe Printer’s default paper size settings revert back to “letter” in stead of staying on A4 after it was saved. 

Since installing KB5074109 the WebBrowser component can no longer load PDF’s within applications utilising Windows WebBrowser component.Instead of displaying Adobe and the PDF in the browser a grey screen appears and the Adobe Acrobat Reader process is launched but appears to not do anything.Users are using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (2025.001.21111, although had a previous version when logged).As a work around we currently disable the add-in in Internet Options which provides users with a popup to Open or Save the PDF instead.I was monitoring threads https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/issues-with-adobe-dc-reader-after-windows-11-update-kb5074109/td-p/15665887 and https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/pdf-documents-not-loading-after-june-8th-on-64-bit-web-browser-control-web-app/td-p/12121363 (Although 4 years old had responses this week which included one saying it was being investigated by developers) but it appears since yesterday the com

Update 21208 of Acrobat Reader breaks the app, it won’t start on Windows 7.It shows “This program couldn’t launch because the object api-ms-win-core-winrt-l1-1-0.dll is missing” or something along those lines....Please fix. Acrobat Reader 32-bit, Win 7 SP1 64-bit

We have approximately 50 computers running Windows 7 that have encountered a critical issue since February 23, 2026. After Adobe Acrobat Reader automatically updated to version 25.001.21223, the application began displaying the following error message upon launch:“The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-winrt-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”In response, we uninstalled the software and downloaded the official installer (AcroRdrDC2500120630_MUI.exe) from the official website to perform a clean installation. However, after a few days, the application automatically updated again and the same error reoccurred.As a result, we have been forced to remove the software entirely and switch to alternative PDF readers. This situation has caused significant operational disruption and inconvenience.Could you please advise whether there is currently a definitive solution to this issue?

I can print a test page fine, but when I ask to print a pdf I just get blank pages.  Please help

Hi, I have an issue with the measuring tool in Adobe Reader.  I can correctly set the scale, but the measurement is incorrect in the display. For example, I have a drawing with scale 3/16 in = 1 ft.  I set the ration to 0.1875 in = 1ft, but it doesn't measure correctly, an area labeled 10 ft, 1 in on the drawing is calculated as 6.16 ft by Adobe.  Here is the scale: and here is a picture of the calculated measurement: I open the same drawing with another PDF viewer (Foxit Phantom PDF), and it works without issue - the same area is now measured correctly:   I am not sure if I am missing something, but I have tried this with multiple drawings, it happens with them all. Can anyone provide an idea about what I may be doing wrong, or is this a flaw in Reader? 

Having a hell of a time figuring out which installer to use for a 64 bit adobe reader deployment via intune win32 app. I located a good process at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVAADl2J65Y for the 32 bit version, but I cant find an offline 64 bit installer that will let me extract the MSI from it.  Why is this so absurdly challenging?!

All my PDF default icons have changed to a folder with a 9 square grid in the upper right corner instead of the red Adobe icon in Windows 11 and Adobe is already my default program to open PDF files.  How can I restore the original icon?  I have already tried switching to another default PDF reader and switched back to Adobe but no luck.Please adviseRJBThis is the new unwanted default adobe PDF icon I have 

I have a new lenovo android tablet version 8.1. Installed acrobat reader but cannot download and open any pdf's. All that shows on screen is skowfile.asp.Is this an android problem or acrobat problem?

After the last update to Acrobat I have been having issues opening any pdf files.  I get an error message stating the file is possibly corrupt.  These are a lot of files that I cannot download again or I created.  My system backs up regularly so the backup file states the same thing.All files were find a couple of months ago.  I need to know how to restore a file in Acrobat.

Hello, I’m using Windows 7 and facing issues with Adobe Acrobat Reader. The program is either not opening properly / keeps crashing and showing errors. Can anyone guide me on how to fix this? Does Acrobat Reader still support Windows 7, or do I need to install a specific version? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, I have been using windows 8 on my laptop, sometime adobe reader could not open bigger file which must be size above of 100mb. I have updated adobe reader regularly. I have been facing this problem from last one month. Thanks,Steven Lash San Diego 

I have this problem: I have a laptop with external monitors, windows 10. If I have the Acrobat Reader window open maximized on my PRIMARY monitor, at some point, I will be unable to use the system buttons, I can't click on anything on the top right of the screen (maximize, minimize, etc. in that region of the screen). If I pull the Acrobat Reader window to my secondary and maximize it, I can click on everything.I tried to uninstall, reinstall, update the program but the problem persist, can anyone help me?Thank you!

As of today 10/02/2025, after doing a "quick print" from my Outlook email, the adobe app stays open and on my screen after printing. I do quick print many times a day from my email and this is so annoying and a hassle. I've checked for an update and there are none right now, must be a bug. Please fix this! Thank you

Adobe Acrobat Reader has become exhausting and frustrating to use.What was once a simple PDF reader now feels like a bloated platform full of forced features, popups, banners, side panels, auto-opening windows, and promotional messages. Even when I only want to open and read a PDF, I am constantly interrupted.This is not productivity. This is distraction.There are far too many unnecessary settings and integrations that normal users never asked for. The interface is cluttered, confusing, and overloaded. Basic tasks require dismissing multiple UI elements before you can even focus on the document.The software feels intrusive. It pushes upgrades, cloud services, accounts, AI features, and other extras that have nothing to do with reading a PDF.For users who simply need a fast, quiet PDF reader, this experience is unacceptable.Right now Acrobat Reader feels closer to adware than professional software.Many people do NOT want an ecosystem. We do NOT want forced integrations. We do NOT want b

Hi Everyone, I am currently Downloading PDF Files from my Gmail account to my Desktop.Up until today, I was able to Download these files no problem. Today however, everytime that a PDF Files completes downloading from Gmail to my Desktop, Adobe Acrobat Automatically Opens the file on my Computer. This is Driving me MAD! Is there any way to stop this from happening? I've attached a file that I got from a Reddit post - where other people were having this issue.It seems that in the past, that there was a check-box option in Acrobat Reader under Edit -> Preferences -> General  to turn off this annoying features. But this option is missing on my Acrobat Reader.

Hallo liebe Community,in der aktuellen Version des Adobe Acrobat Reader DC lässt sich eine potenzielle Sicherheitslücke identifizieren.Im Plugins-Order der Acrobat Reader Version 25.001.21184 befinden sich die beiden Dateien “libssl-3-x64.dll” und “libcrypto-3-x64.dll”.Beide Dateien arbeiten mit dem OpenSSL Toolkit in der Version 3.4.3, welche nach Bekanntwerden der Sicherheitslücke CVE-2025-15467 als angreifbar gilt.Ist bereits bekannt, ob und wann Adobe diese Dateien entsprechend auf eine neuere Version wie zum Beispiel 3.4.4 patchen wird?In den SIcherheitsbulletins konnte ich hierzu bisher keine Informationen finden.Auch würde mich interessieren, ob andere Adobe-Produkte ebenfalls betroffen oder schon gepatcht sind.Vielen Dank und viele GrüßeCastroT

Постоянно возникает это сооббщение при попытке открыть любой файл Адоб Ридер. Никакие файлы Адоб не открываются.

Beim Öffnen mancher PDFs, meist extern, kommen die Fehlermeldungen Grafikfehler bzw. ArialMT Schriftart fehlt. Wie kann ich das als Admin bei meinen Usern beheben? 

Hi, i am having trouble opening a pdf file a second time. It will open initially but if i try again it says it is damaged or not correctly decoded?   This has only started happening fairly recently so not sure what’s happening.  Anybody know why and how to fix this?

Fill and Sign does not have an option to change the font when fill a from. Every paying customer is asking the same question.When will this feature be added? It is a necessary feature.  Editing a PDF to change the font is not the same feature and messes up the document.  Thank you. 

OK, this is getting no response at all from Adobe, so I am going to ask this question again as, while one of the 2 other posts on this subject says “answered” it is NOT answered. So, I am going to open a 3rd post on this subject to see if someone at Adobe will care to comment. ALL of the links in Reader open in Edge and not the default browser (Chrome in my case). When I say all, I mean even the help links like the link I opened to get to this forum (yes, I’m in edge now just trying to get the real answer) and the one in the image below:And yes, I have tried EVERYTHING referenced in all the attempts to fix this when you Google the issue. NOTHING fixes this “bug”, but surely someone out there knows how to fix this so we can all get on with life. Thanks - John
