    Hi Wadey

     

    We have released a new optional update version 20.12.20048 for Acrobat/Reader DC. Please try to update the application from the help menu > Check for updates and see if that works for you.

    For context, I've merged your other conversation in the Acrobat Pro forum with this one.

    Check your Windows Event Viewer to find out which faulting module is causing Acrobat Reader to crash.  It's probably a missing or corrupted DLL file like a graphics driver.

    Thanks Nancy.

    It all started when I hit the print button and got the following dialogue box:

    "Adobe reader has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a  solution is available."

    1. Reloaded Reader & the same message comes up if hit the edit, properties, preferences, etc..

     

    2. Had various community members ranging from Adobe employee to volunteer as yourself with many suggestions that have all failed.

     

    3. Even though it is free, I think Adobe should not leave it to well meaning enthusists to fix problems with THEIR software.

     

    4. Win10 was free, but I still get help from MS.

     

    5. Any more information I can supply, please ask.

    ☺️




    Win10 closes my reader when I hit the print button...

    Moved from Acrobat to Free Acrobat Reader where the concerned experts will see this.

     

    Please ensure your computer meets the system requirements to run Acrobat Reader DC.

    If necessary, create a new computer user profile that has administrative level permissions.
