Question

Adobe Reader stops responding on highlighting a scanned document

I need to report a bug, but the system is just awful for finding a way to do so. So, here it is:

When I'm using Adobe Reader to read a scanned document that does NOT have highlightable lines (that is, I use the highlighter tool to make horizontal/vertical highlight marks and the lines snap to straight lines), after some time (say, a couple pages of reading) the reader stops mid-highlight, a window pops up and disappears in a fraction of a second, and the Acrobat Reader window stops being active. However, there is nothing in front of it to close, so it's impossible to return to the window in which I was reading. So, I have to open up Task Manager and end the process and re-open my document again.

Please have this bug checked out or let me know if I need to explain it better.

Hi andrews82854020,

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps provided here: Troubleshoot Windows system errors, freezes | Adobe software?

Could you please check if the application is updated to the latest version. Launch the application and go to Help menu > Check for updates.

Launch the application and go to Help menu > Check for updates.

Do you get the exact same error message while scanning?

Are you on Mac or Windows?

What is the dot version of Adobe the application you are using?

To check, launch the application and go to Help menu > About Adobe (application name).

We will be waiting for your response.

Regards.
