Acrobat Reader

Hey all, I'm trying to print a sewing pattern from acrobat reader, which has to be printed as tiles using the poster page sizing option. But when I go to print, the 'poster' button is greyed out and I can't click on it. I've got the latest version and everything and the file is specifically meant to be printed this way. Any advice?Thanks!

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?!

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?

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.

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!

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

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

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.

Hallo,   beim Doppelklick auf eine PDF-Datei in meinem OneDrive erhalte ich diese Meldung vom Adobe Reader:   "Beim Öffnen dieses Dokuments ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Zugriff verweigert."   Wenn ich die Datei im Adobe Reader über den Öffnen-Dialog öffne, erhalte ich diese Meldung:   ""Der Dateifpad ist zu lang. Geben Sie einen kürzeren Dateinamen an oder speichern Sie die Datei an einem Speicherort mit kürzerem Pfad."   Das Öffnen der Datei unter genau diesem Dateipfad ging in der Vergangenheit fehlerfrei. Die Datei lässt sich in anderen Programmen anzeigen und ist somit nicht defekt. Ich gehe von einem Fehler in Adobe Reader Version 2021.005.20060 aus.   Ich bitte um Fehlerbehebung durch ein Update. Vielen Dank!   Viele Grüße

Hi,I've recently discovered that the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader v2025.1.20432.0 is still using vulnerable openssl library v3.0.14, however the new v3.0.16 is available. I am wondering if there is a planned fix for updating the openssl library from Adobe in order to mitigate vulnerabilities related to openssl library? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,I cannot change the properties of a PDF file, like author, title, subject, and keywords as all these fields are grayed out. Some of the PDF files I have are filled with information, and some are not. For both cases I am unable to change them.I have considered the possibility that these files are protected by their creators, but the files have no passwords, and I have even tried to create my own PDF using Microsoft Office Word Document and then saved it as a PDF, and even then, though I'm the creator of the file it shows the author with a name I have never seen before and I still cannot change that.I am using Windows 7, and am using Adobe Reader 9.4.I have attached a screenshot of the grayed out part where I get to it by:01. Opening a PDF file.02. On the tabs above, select File.03. Select Properties.I even considered the security tab, but all of the files are showing with no security in the security method!Here is how I got to the security tab:01. Opening the PDF file.02.

어도비 리더에서 PDF 파일 열기 진행 시 이미지와 같이 오류가 나오고 강제 종료됩니다.위 에러창이 나오고 확인버튼을 누르면 바로 종료됩니다.해결 방법 가이드 주시면 감사하겠습니다.

For the past couple of months many of our users have been having an error pop up regarding fonts. Apparently Adobe won’t provide any form of assistance unless you pay for their services so hopefully the community can do better than them.The company goes through massive amounts of PDFs (and has started to digitize their physical files) so errors like these can be very troublesome.I have no idea why this is happening… I assumed it was related to the latest version of Adobe Reader so I stopped updating the application on the users computers. The problem is not listed on the known issue list for Adobe Reader… The only thing I found online was for users to make sure the option Use Local Fonts was checked under the Page Display settings however I guess that option no longer exists or I am blind…. I confirmed the two fonts are installed on the computer and they work with Microsoft word without any issue.Everybody is using windows 11 25H2. Hope you guys can help.

I must have set acrobat reader as default to open PDF - I do not want that to happen, I want PDF files to open as just that, PDF files. How do I restore my settings? I am on a mac.

As an organization, we are using Windows 10 with the "LongPathsEnabled" registry entry set to 1, as posted here: Enable Long Paths in Windows 10, Version 1607, and Later This has helped us with moving long pathed files and opening them in Microsoft Office programs. However, Adobe Acrobat DC (and Acrobat Reader DC) still cannot open files with paths longer than 255 characters. We have tested this in multiple scenarios and have found that Acrobat has this problem with any long file path. The file simply won't open or opens a blank document. If you copy the document to a short path, it opens flawlessly. I have found several similar threads here , here and here . All mention it's a file path limitation of Windows. That is simply no longer the case. As seen in the top link, Windows 10 now supports file paths up to 32,767 characters.  As linked in this thread here , user avn1 has correctly deduced that Adobe has not u

Hi, I have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (version 2017.009.20044) and, since yesterday, the scrolling with my touchpad goes way too faster than I can control. I'm a researcher and reading PDFs is a basic part of my job, and it is very uncomfortable not being able to scroll properly. I'm using windows 10, by the way.
