Hi there,

Thank you for sharing the file.

We have released an update today for Acrobat and Reader DC (Continuous Track) desktop application that resolves this issue.
Please update the application to the latest version by going to the Help menu > Check for updates in the application.

For more information on the recent update, you may refer to this link: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/continuous/dccontinuousaug2020qfe.html#dccontinuousaugtwentytwentyqfe

Let us know if that works for you.

Thanks,
Meenakshi

Well, there's not much to say. The program just crash, no message nor screenshot to make, just crash and can't be opened. I have this problem on several computers since the last Windows Update, i'm just trying to issolate the problem on the program or the OS. I'm looking for info about that and i've seen this topic so i give it a try. Sorry for any trouble i can cause

Certain PDF files (dynamic XFA forms) created in Adobe LiveCycle can only be opened in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. When you try to open these files in an alternative PDF viewer, then you will see this error message.

Unfortunately, it's not easy remove this message and modify the PDF so that it can be opened in alternative PDF viewers. The person who created the original form must re-create the form using options that do not restrict which PDF viewers can open and display the file.
