Thumbnail generation in home screen abysmally slowIf recent or starred files are displayed, acrobat generates thumbnails for these every time you relaunch it. Takes maybe 10 seconds to generate 1 thumnail. If there are several files - acrobat just freezes. Makes using the home screen completely impossible.  

Oct 2021, a new Reader install on a Windows 11 desktop. I expected a prompt in the installer for bloatware but there was none! However, it did tell me it was installing 'two' pieces of McAfee software. Very uncomfortable with that practice! I think the community would agree.

When I access Files | Adobe Creative Cloud I only see my library images but not documents but when I'm saving documents via Acrobat Pro I can see various documents I have saved onto the Cloud. Is there some way to organise the documents via a web page or app?Thanks

Hey all. I am looking for some help or a work around please. I am field based engineer and need to access PDF files saved in my document cloud. I get decent and stable 4G and sometimes 5G but it will not let me open anythinng from the dociments cloud. I have no issue when connected to WiFi but this is rare for me to be able to connect to in the field. I have tried twice speaking to Adobe but get little sense despite the product stpulating you can work from anywhere! I have been advised to take a PC or Mac out with me by support and not my phone and/or tablet. I do not see how this makes any diffrence. Is anyone else doing site visits found a soloution? I noted the same question was asked in here in 2018 but had no responses! Thanks in advance.

Estou tentando incluir minha assinatura no Adobe, para que eu não precise imprimir, assinar e digitalizar toda vez que eu receber um documento, porém o adobe trava completamente quando tento fazer isso.   Após clicar nessa opção, seleciono a opção "assine você mesmo", para incluir minha assinatura. Mas aí trata tudo!   O que posso fazer para conseguir incluir a assinatura?  Obrigado.

I work for a global company and I am looking to download an msi for Adobe Reader that I can edit to work with the language of the OS for each country.  Can someone direct me on where to find this or what I can do to set AdobeReader to open with the country language for that OS?

I keep getting this error message when trying to scroll down a PDF: There was an error processing a page.  An internal error occurred. Anybody know what's the cause & fix?Thanks, Lisa

Hello!We've got trouble with our pdf.If we run our Admin_guide.pdf from our installer, the Acrobat.exe process has been freezer. As a result, our users cannot read the document. But if we open the document as a file from Explorer or in Google Chrome, it'll be opened successfully.We use actual Acrobat Reader DC version (2021.007.20099) with default settings, but if we turn off Enable Protect mode, the document also opens from installer.We think that recommending to disable Protect mode to our users is a bad idea.The question is, what's the right method of solving this problem.

I still can't open a PDF after updating to newest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, restarting and obtaining a digital signature.I get the following error message: To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.htmlI am using OS X El Capitan 10.11.6Thanks Brandon

It blows my mind that Adobe gets away with releasing such crap software. As a long time Creative suite user (mainly Premiere) I ditched Adobe for video work due to the constant crashing and zero useful support.Now, acrobat makes it almost impossible to just sign a document.Seriously, who are the software engineers at Adobe? I can find dozens of faults in each Adobe software package I use wihin minutes of use.I get the error message that"There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat. Please return to Acrobat and end the task before opening this file." But it's not open anywhere!  

When I click on File/Save As a blank window pops up. I no longer can select where I want to save a document, or the name of the document. I tried repairing Adobi Acrobat Reader, but that didn't help.  I also cleared the Adobe Reader Search Cache.  My only solution is to print the document to PDF.

There are many users who barely use a PDF reader on their computer. From time to time they may want to sign a document. I tried to help a friend get Reader set up and I was barraged with multiple Adobe offers for all kinds of software and no clear help on just installing Reader. I wasn't even clear she could get it for free. For occasional users of Reader, please provide a clear way to find the website via Google search, provide clear information on what Reader is, and stop trying to sell the occasional user on a more expensive product. Also, why isn't Reader available on the Apple App store? No wonder there are so many other PDF readers proliferating the digital landscape.  (I am an experienced user but not a professional user and I also think there's an opportunity for a middle tier charge for my very ocassional use. I would like to know more about Photoshop and Illustrator, but I don't use it very much and I am paying a lot just for the privilege of looking

Hello friends of Adobe and PDF Files,I've archived many Magazines and books as PDF files in my Cloud Drive and would like to view them on my Chromebook in my Chrome Webbrowser .. but in a 2-page view ! ! because many magazines or books have illustrations which spread over a double page, but how could I view that in the browser, without a 2-page view mode?(.. and no I don't want a workaround with 2 reduced independent browser instances, side by side, each which a single page ) When I download a PDF document, I can read it with almost any PDF viewer in a 2 page view, but I don't want to download them, many of them are much to big and that makes no sense to me on a Chromebook. I live digitally in my Cloud. Someone should implement the 2-sided view in the browser plugin. This is the way many books and magazines are read. Thanks in advance.Best regards,Lars

Hi Community, ist not possible to open some official pdf-documents from the german authorities with my chromebook.A local installation of adobe reader dc is apparently absolutely necessary.On my Windows Laptop with a local installation of adobe reader dc its no problem to open this files. How can I open this pdf-files on my chromebook? You will see the message shown below. Ideas? Thanky for your supoort!! Greetings Marcus   

Greetings to the Adobe community. I'm writting a paper, and I need to read a lot of other papers that reference a lot of other books. I was wondering if I could link those PDF files together, at a specific page? Eg. on the left is a paper that in the footnote no. 2 references a page no. 98 from the book on the right. (Both files are on the same drive in my computer, but in different folders).  What I would like to be able to do is to make a link in the paper on the left that when clicked opens the book on the right at the exact page in a new window. I tried googling for the solution and searching forums but all I could find is either links to the entire document, or URL links to websites etc. BONUS: What would be even cooler is if it worked vice versa, i.e. if in the targeted book file a link is generated that opens in new windows all the paper files that quotes that place, at the exact pages. Eg.:  I don't know if this kind of cross-referencing is ev

good day  the Fill and sign function in not working for me, as you can see in missing from the Tools options:and when i press the icon in the nothing happens 

I had Reader DC working fine on my computer then I upgraded to Windows 10.  I hated it so I reverted back to Windows 7. Not sure if this has anything to do with the problem I have now, but as it stands now, Reader DC won't work. When I try to uninstall it or reinstall it I get this message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable,"  and it asked me to enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "AcroRead.msi." I've searched my computer and the only file that comes up is the one gives me a message that says "The path {file name} cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package "AcroRead.msi" in a folder from which you can install the prodcut Adobe Reader Xi (11.0.13)."  I really have no idea what to do next. Any helpful ideas on how to get Reader DC to work properly on my computer again?  Thanks!

Hello, I have been installing Adobe Acrobat Reader on my laptop but not able to install. I didnt understand the problem. Can anyone help me to fix out this issue.   Thanks, Steven lash San Diego

Une version READER DC ancienne fonctionnait. Auj un message apparaît d'ECHEC DE MISE A JOUR parce que fenêtre App. Mal Installée.Echec de mise à jour du produit. Impossible de le DESINSTALLER L'APP. Mon antivirus karpesky me dit que l'absence de mise à jour de Acrobat Reader DC peut entraîner des problèmes pour la sécurité de mon ordinateur. 

Guten Abend zusammen,ich habe mir vorhin die kostenlose 14-tägige Testversion vom Acrobat Reader DC heruntergeladen.Da diese leider nicht den gewünschten Erfolg hatte und das .pdf nich fehlerfrei konvertieren konnte, wollte ich die Testversion kündigen.In meinem Adobe Account unter Abos wird jedoch nichts aufgeführt. Muss ich die Testversion nun kündigen (so habe ich es meines Wissens gelesen) oder läuft diese automatisch nach 14 Tagen ab und verlängert sich nicht in ein kostenpflichtiges Abo?Die Seite, auf der ich die Testversion downloaden konnte finde ich, warum auch immer, nicht mehr.Vielen Dank im Voraus.Beste GrüßeJens

Before I was able to using the Acrobat Reader English Version, and type simplified Chinese character. After I got a new computer, I cannot type Simplified Chinese without chaning the entire Application language. If I want to type Chinese, now I have to change entire Acrobat Reader to Chinese first(All menu), which is really annoying.  Before I was using a 2017 MacBook Pro, now I use a 2021 MacBook Pro, anyone know how to fix this issue please?
