Question

Adobe stays open after quick print

This is broken again in the latest version of Adobe Reader.  We have a lot of users reporting that QuickPrint in Outlook Classic is opening Adobe Reader and not closing it.  Then when they try to open another PDF it will not open.  Please get this fixed.

    Hi there

     

    Hope youa re doing well and thanks for flagging this, and sorry for the trouble.
     

    To get this raised to the right team quickly, could you share a few details:

    • Adobe Reader version and build (Help > About Adobe Acrobat Reader > the full version string)
    • Outlook Classic version (File > Office Account > About Outlook)
    • Windows version and build (e.g., Windows 11 24H2)
    • Whether Reader is set as the default PDF handler for your environment, and whether this is a per-machine MSI or per-user EXE deployment?
    • Whether the Adobe AcroRD32.exe process is visible in Task Manager after QuickPrint and if stopping it restores the ability to open new PDF.
       

    Once you share the version details I'll get this logged with the Reader engineering team as a regression.
     

    If you'd prefer to share environment details privately, you can also open a case at helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.html and reference this thread.

    Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 2026.001.21529 64-bit 

    Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2603 Build 16.0.19822.20086) 64-bit !--endfragment>!--startfragment>

    Windows 11 25H2

    Adobe Reader is set at the default PDF handler  per-user EXE deployment

    Adobe AcroRD32.exe process is visible in Task Manager.  Sometimes it stops responding and we have two instance in Task Manager.  We then have to kill the processes and then they can keep using Adobe.
