Hi,

 

Im using Adobe Acrobat Reader for many years, since i reinstalled it on my new computer, the program won´t stop crashing at the start.

What I did:

-updated my Nvidia graphics drivers (RTX 2070)

-reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader (latest version)

-accepted the EULA.exe

-repaired Adobe Acrobat Reader

 

Any further suggestions?

Hi Freddi

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described the application is crashing at the start.

 

Is this a behavior with a particular PDF or with all the PDFs? Please try to open a different PDF file and check.

 

If the PDF is stored on a shared network/drive, please try to download the PDF to your computer locally and then try to open it and check.

 

Please try to repair the installation (Windows Only) from help menu and reboot the computer once and check.

 

If it still doesn't work, Please turn off the protected mode for testing (Windows Only).  Go to Edit > Preferences > Enhanced Security > Uncheck 'Enable protected mode at startup', turn off the protected mode and uncheck the enhanced security > Click OK and reboot the computer.

Note: Please turn on the security after testing to avoid security risks.

 

You may also look at the steps in the help pages below:

Let us know how it goes

Hi,

 

the problem occured at the start, I didn´t get the chance to open a PDF file.

I deactivated the online saving features, repaired my installation, launched the program as admin, reinstalled the program, and turned off the protected mode. 

 

It worked fine for about an hour after I reinstalled the programm, and when i tried to open it on another day, it crashed. Same thing after another reinstall-process.

If it still doesn't work, please remove the application using the Acrobat Cleaner Tool https://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html  , reboot the computer once and reinstall the application using the link https://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
