I have several documents I use all the time for patients.  With in the last couple months my documents freeze and quit when I'm using fill and sign.  I tried adobe cleaner, uninstalled, reinstalled. looking on the forums and can't find a solution. I got it to work by typing the patient information in a word document and copy and pasting to the fill and sign blocks, but this is not what I want to do.

    Hello Team, Thanks for responding over previous thread. It gave me some level of insight about the software defects on Adobe reader. I'm still facing the same issue when trying to sign the document. Adobe client completely goes to a freeze state and i have to press escape key to come back to normal state. Is it still unresolved ? Could you pls advise here ? For security reason , I couldnt provide any process dump , However you can simulate this behaviour in your test environment.

     

    Adobe DC is currently on latest version . There is no pending updates avaialble when checked for updates.

    For Getting the Crash Logs:

    a.      When Acrobat Reader Crashes , Open Windows Task Manager

    b.      -> Got To Processes, There you can see a process "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC" / AcroRd32.exe

    c.      Right Click on this process and click "Create Dump File"

    d.      Dump file will be created in the Temp folder of the user (as specified on the dialog you get after creating dump files).

      I have tired to update the version we are running. This is still happening. I did take it back after I tested because several of our insurance carriers are using reader for us to issue our insurance policies. When we upgrade to the latest version we can not longer issue the policies like we need to. This started happening when Adobe released the latest version.

      Hello Jessdeni,

      I am sorry for the delayed response and inconvenience caused, what is the current verison of Adobe Reader installed? To identify, refer to Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

      Are you on a Mac or Windows machine and what is the version?

      Make sure that you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed, check for any pending updates from help menu of Adobe Reader>Check for updates, reboot the machine after installing the updates.

      Please navigate to Adobe Reader's preference from Edit>Preferences>Security(Enhanced)>and disable 'Enable Protected Mode at startup' and 'Enable Enhanced Security'>Click OK>resstart the application and check.

      Note: Disabling Protected Mode and Enhanced Security is only for testing purpose, please enable it back.

      Is Adobe Reader crashed while using the Fill and Sign tool on once specific PDF file or is it with all the PDF files?

      Let us know how it goes and share your observation.

      Thanks,

      Anand Sri.

      I am having the same issue.

      I am using Windows 10 Pro Version 1803

      In Adobe  Acrobat Reader DC

      We can not update as several of our carriers are having issues with the latest version.

      No mater what PDF I use when I use the Fill and Sign, Adobe Reader Crashes.

      I have disabled the 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup' and 'Enable Enhanced Security. Yes I did put this back after I tested.
