I'm using Acrobat reader DC Version 2015.020.20042

I have the following problem.

1. Run the reader as admin.

2. Double click on a pdf.

3. The pdf isn't show, but i have 4 processes of AcroRD32.exe in task manager.

I know this sounds a bit stange. But i have the same problem if i want to show a pdf with acrobat reader from my software, when the user is running it as admin. After showing the pdf as admin, no pdfs will be shown by double click (user is no admin).

Is it a bug or a feature? 😉

Thanks for your help.

    Apologies for the delayed response.

    Please confirm if you are still experinecing the issue and the exact workflow you follow.

    Also, mention what exactly happens when you double click or try to open the PDF.

    As I wrote before:

    1. Run the reader as admin.

    2. Double click on a pdf, which should open it in the reader without admin rights

    3. The pdf isn't shown, but i have 4 processes of AcroRD32.exe in task manager.
