Hi @Pranav_Saxena,
Sorry for the crash. Thanks for the details.
On macOS, a launch crash with EXC_BAD_ACCESS usually points to a bad startup state, a 3rd‑party plug‑in, or an activation issue. Please try:
Update Acrobat from Creative Cloud Desktop (or Help → Check for Updates if you can open it briefly).
Safe Boot your Mac and launch Acrobat once; if it opens, a background extension may be involved.
Reset Acrobat preferences: quit Acrobat and remove ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat*.plist and ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/DC/Preferences , then relaunch.
Temporarily move any plug‑ins from /Applications/Adobe https://adobe.ly/3LnW9h3 and ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/DC/Plug-ins/ Then, relaunch (many startup crashes are caused by plug-in conflicts).
If the dock shows Acrobat but no window appears, use Window → Zoom or disconnect any extra monitors and retry.
If the issue persists, collect diagnostics (with advanced logging enabled) and macOS crash logs, upload them to a cloud drive, and share the link and Log ID here. We’ll analyze the logs and advise next steps.
Additionally, try uninstalling Acrobat using the Acrobat Cleaner Tool: https://adobe.ly/4sEynhm. Once uninstalled, try restarting the machine if possible, reinstalling the app, and checking the issue.
