Acrobat Reader

I recently updated from version 26.001.21677 to version 26.001.21771. Previously I was able to print documents with mixed size papers without issue (mixed 8.5x11 and 8.5x14). Now using version 26.001.21771 I am no longer able to print these documents. I get an error message saying can not print the document, please visit the help page. I have tried this using multiple different printers and still get the same error, please advise.

How do I fix “grayed out” combine files option in Adobe Acrobat Pro?This just happened - I need to combine PDF files today or tomorrow!!

I have a rather old MacBookAir running the latest macOS 12 w/ Adobe Acrobat Reader installed:Since a few days, trying to update (via the “Help” menu) fails with an error, so I decided to simply re-install it.  Therefore, I downloaded the installation dmg, but running it fails withThe box is running 12.x… Any idea what goes wrong here?

I've never understood how to copy and paste from pdf to word without getting the line return characters which mess up the formatting. Why doesn't text flow from line to line as it does in a normal word processor? Why does adobe insist on copying the newline character when you paste from pdf to another application?This must be the dumbest feature in the world.If there's a way to copy and paste from a pdf in plain text, without line breaks, please please tell me how. Thanks

Hi,I have tried using the assistant but it wasn’t very helpful in this instance.We have multiple RDS hosts and user will report that Adobe has crashed.It produces an error "Something went wrong - A running instance of Acrobat has caused an error". I have created a DMP file I would like to submit to support but I am unable to find how to do this.Is someone able to point me in the right direction? Or I can provide a link to the DMP file if someone on here is able to review it.TIA.Rob

Since the release 24.003.20054, Adobe Reader is AGAIN running slow again opening documents Does anyone know why Adobe Acrobat Reader is so *incredibly* slow & keeps hanging please?I keep getting the 'not responding' message; have to close it down & try again.Documents load *really* slowly, if at all!I have a fast PC with 32 GB of memory, so that shouldn't be the problem... The previous 'fix' at here no longer works !!Any ideas on speeding it up please?

I have activated Preview panel in Windows explorer but i cannot see PDF previews.I am using Adobe Acrobat DC.I have tried all the options i have foundin internet but it doesn´t work, files are not downloaded from internet and don´t have in properties any option to unblock previews.I have activated the option in preferences in Adobe to see the preview.The only option i have not tried is to stop using Adobe Acrobat to work.Does anybody know how to solve this problem so that previews are back to windows explorer?Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,, It's considered the premiere pdf software, but it has trouble just opening files, let alone more than one. Scrolling leads to system hangs. The program crashes periodically even when you're not really doing much that stresses it [Spam link removed by moderator.] Is the issue a simple bit of code that IT pros are familiar with, or is it just buggy for no good reason???

It doesn't work when the PDF is generated on the fly using parameters sent via POST. When the extension tries to fetch the PDF from the URL, it doesn't send the POST request. This is a very serious bug — many systems are breaking because of it, and people are uninstalling the extension. There's going to be a significant wave of uninstalls in the coming months if this isn't fixed.

There is no Protected View on the Preferences page in macOS; only Privileged Locations remains. No matter which file I opened, no yellow warning bar appeared. How to enable Protected View on macOS?

In the older version of Acrobat, when switching to the Pan Tool (hand icon) you would be able to zoom in and out with the mouse scroll wheel. In the current version of Acrobat, scrolling the mouse wheel while in Pan mode only scrolls the document up and down. Pan mode + mouse wheel zoom was ideal for viewing architectural/engineering/electrical drawings, why has this suddenly been removed after so many years?

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. 

I have Acrobat with Creative cloud pro, Windows 10, and for weeks it's not been opening properly.I read other solutions and tried uninstalling and installing from new, disabling cloud and security options, but the only thing that seems to work is going to the Task manager and deleteing Acrobat instances that pile up.This is not a solution, it’s a bad workaround. Please help me with this problem. I hate having to change my preferences every time I install, especially getting rid of the “new” Acrobat interface.

Is there any way to remove the sign in option on the top menu bar in Adobe Reader x64 or prevent users from logging in?I have tried all the usual reg keys but there appears to be no way to suppress or block this menu item.Whilst i have disabled the online services i would like to be able to go further and prevent users from even logging into an account via Adobe Reader.

I can't print a pdf file.  I can print a word file, but not a pdf file. Can you help?

Buenas tardes…Mauricio Araya, trabajo para una importante empresa de Ingeniería/Minería en el sector privado, con usuarios que hacen uso de licencias de Adobe Acrobat Pro y Adobe Acrobat Reader.El archivo .pdf de un cliente le ha sido adjunto contenido comprimido .zipLamentablemente no me es posible abrirlo, descargarlo o guardarlo, ya que “la configuración de archivos adjuntos PDF no permite abrir este tipo de archivo”.He estado ajustando las opciones de seguridad y documento, pero no puedo encontrar nada aún respecto a este tópico que me permita abrir el comprimido. Cualquier ayuda al respecto, es bienvenida.Saludos, MGAraya

I have a user who’s consistently producing documents that include character encoding failures when I or her supervisor run the Accessibility Checker. Yet when she scans the documents using the Accessibility Checker, she sees no error.What could cause her not getting a failure on the accessibility check?We are all using the same version of Acrobat. She and her supervisor are using the “new” user interface, I’m using the legacy UI - so we’re seeing the failures when the check is run in both the new & legacy UI, and failing to see them in a case where the user is running the new UI.

When I download and run the Adobe Acrobat Reader installer, it ends up installing Adobe Acrobat and forces me to either start a free trial or buy a subscription. I only want Reader. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling a few times with no luck. I've also tried contacting my school IT and they couldn't figure it out. Looking for help.

I work for a company that uses creative cloud for access to Adobe Acrobat, and the settings currently require signing in every 2 weeks.At the two week mark, Adobe Acrobat and Creative Cloud will give me a pop-up that I need to re-sign in. When I do sign in with my company account, I enter my credentials, respond to the DUO VPN request, then have to enter my credentials a second time.At this point, the program says my credentials cannot be verified and crashes/closes Creative Cloud and Adobe Acrobat. It’s always annoying because you’ll be in the middle of something and have it crash and lose all your work on you for just trying to sign in. Luckily, it lets you work for a little while after the Creative Cloud popup before the Adobe Acrobat popup (which keeps you from doing any more work in Acrobat, so you can save and exit, but only if you know already that it’s going to crash (which everyone at my company does now).I’ve had Adobe reloaded onto my machine twice now by IT with no luck. I’

form looks good, and the submit button appears to work - I get an option that shows the email to me with form attached, but when I hit send - it never goes to my aol email

O arquivo PDF nao abre e dá mensagem de erro (o acrobat reader pro nao chega a abrir, só dá a mensagem de erro). Para corrigir, eu preciso reiniciar a computador ou reparar a instalação. Utilizo em 3 computadores e este erro é constante nos três. Alguém esta passando por isto?

Each time i try to install a new version of Adobe Acrobat Reader i get the error message “Error 1921 Service Adobe Acrobat Update Service (AdobeARMservice) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services”.I don’t see any service called AdobeARMservice in my Services to stop.This is on my company windows 11 laptop and has been going on for about a year now hence i am stuck on version 2024.002.20895 and am constantly getting prompts to update that always fail.I raised a ticket with my company it department 9 months ago but they haven’t been able to fix it.How can i stop this error and update to the latest version please?thanks...

Followed the Adobe Help steps from the link. Ended background processes using end process tree, repaired the Adobe program, tried printing "Print as Image", disabled Protected Mode at startup. Clear corrupted data and cache (DC.old). After those failed, I uninstalled Adobe, wasn’t uninstalling, ran the official Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool, rebooted, and performed a fresh reinstallation of Adobe Reader from Software Center (version 25.001.20693 x64). Same error. Previously there was a newer Adobe version installed on 7/27/2026 as listed in Control Panel - Installed programs (I have not installed it). Still can’t print.

Hi all. I'm posting this in the hopes that it might help someone else out that may have the same symptom. Last week, my Adobe Reader stopped printing. Nothing I did produced any result. Not hitting the print icon. Not hitting CTRL+P. Not selecting "print" from the drop-down menu. There was no error message. No nothing. It was as if I hadn't clicked anything. I tried repairing the installation, no help. I've rebooted the computer many times over the last couple weeks. Here's what finally fixed it. On a whim, I went to Windows Explorer, right-clicked on the PDF file, and selected "print" from Explorers context menu. Adobe flashed open for a sec, and the document printed. Now, Adobe Reader prints as it always used to do. There must have been some little "glitch" or something going on.Problem solved. Hope this helps someone else.Artie
