Hi

As I understand it, you just downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader and it has never worked. Can you tell us your system information including version of Windows OS?

I don't know if this will work, but I found a post on another thread where one user reported on 11 August 2021:

"By right clicking on Adobe Acrobat Reader Icon, selecting properties, then Compatibility and then selecting to execute this program in compatibility mode for Windows 8 works great for me."

Also, to confirm: did you download Adobe Acrobat Reader from this website?

Hi Kelsey

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, boxes and menu aren't visible

 

Please try to repair the installation form the help menu (Win only) and reboot the computer once and see if that helps.

 

You may also try to remove the appliction using the Acrobat Cleaner tool -https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html  reboot the computer and reinstall the application using the link https://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Hi there

 

We are sorry to hear that. Have you tried to remove the application and then reinstall as described above.

Also, try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights or enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check.

 

Regards

Amal
