Acrobat Reader

We use desktop PCs with multiple monitors (2 or 3) and Windows 11. Windows has a feature that it tries to remember on which monitor was app running last time it was closed, and when you open it again it will launch on that same monitor. But this feature doesn’t work properly with Adobe Reader, and since monday it’s kinda broken. Let me explainUser1: three monitors side by side, center is main. User opens some pdf that he never opened, it opens on center monitor. He moves the window to left monitor and closes it. He opens again the same pdf and it opens on the left monior. He closes it and opens different pdf that he never opened before. It opens on center monitor. He moves it to right monitor, closes it and openes again. It opens on right monitor. He closes it and opens previous pdf. It opens on left screen. User is annoyed 🙄.User2: two monitors, right one is main, left one is secondary, new Adobe UI. Users opens pdf from Outlook (classic) running on left monitor. Adobe Reader opens o

I have a few users experiencing issues with acrobat and pro. Where if I have a pdf open that is saved to the c drive. I then attempt to open a pdf from outlook it does not open a second tab with that pdf nor does it open a window with that pdf. The only thing I can see is when I have task manager open there is a instance of acrobat opening in the background processes, but no window gets created for me to see. The strange part is if I have acrobat closed then open a pdf from outlook first. I can then open any number of pdf correctly from any drive or from outlook. It only happens when the user opens a pdf from their c drive first. This issue has persisted through reinstalls of acrobat on multiple different devices. Let me know if I can provide any more information about this issue. The devices are all win 11 most recent updates installed. Most recent version of acrobat/ pro depending on the user. This is also happening on my work device although Idon't use acrobat that much 

Hello everyone,for the past few weeks (possibly since the January Windows Update), we have been getting the following error message randomly when opening different PDFs:'The font ArialMT cannot be found or created'.It doesn't matter whether the PDF file is being opened on a network share or locally.Once the user clicks 'OK', the error disappears after reopening the same file.Affected users so far: 50 Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.7623) Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 2025.001.21111 Continous ReleaseAny help would be appreciate Message displayed (german) 

This is not a question, but a suggestion. This product's version numbering scheme is very confusing and should be simplified. Currently, the version number is a code of YYYY.nnn.nnnn, where Y is the year and n is a number. Use case: It's not intuitive to ask someone to download version “YYYY.nnn.nnnn"  

I installed Acrobat Reader on a Windows 11 machine and am getting a view in which all tools are spread across the screen at different locations as shown in the first image below.Also, some tools are floating around. which I want to avoid.  I want to change the view back to old one I am used to as in second image below. How to get the view on the second imave on a Windows 11 machine. 

I use a new DELL laptop with WIN11, and after some dayes, adobe acrobat is opening only as admin and only if enhanced security/protected mode is offFirst, everything worked, but then, I do not know why, it does not react expept as a admin.With processMonitor, I could find no trace of the reader if I try to start it as a standard use,I tried all possible folder  and registry permission issues with ChatGPT, but nothing helped.Alos reinstalling even with the cleaner tool didn't change anything!

I have a number of documents with links to youtube videos. These had worked a few weeks ago, provided we exported the doc to a PDF rather than 'saved as'. Please can you advise how I make these links now work? Thanks....

Not a question, but a suggestion that this forum should be called exactly what the product is designated “Adobe Acrobat Reader”.

I noticed that the ability to delete pages is still a premium feature. That's ridiculous in 2026! Could you reconsider the FREE vs. PRO options? Many people have the Reader app, and basic tasks should be included, not just viewing.Years ago, I also requested a searchable settings menu. Nothing has changed. Sad.

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

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

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? 

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
