After pushing out the update to version 2015.006.30306 multiple users are getting a "Windows - Application Error" in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The error description is:

"The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000409) occurred in the application at location 0x002858e3. Click OK to terminate the program".

Does anyone have a solution for this? Currently reinstalling corrects the issue, but this appears to be a temporary fix.

Hi jsrco,

Thanks for the info.

Please try to navigate to the install directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader and then run the AcroRd32.exe, does that work?

Have you tried troubleshooting steps mentioned in the link above?

Awaiting your response.
