I installed Acrobat DC Pro on my Mac Air and it won't open pdf files. This has happened several times now. Occasionally I will reinstall and it will work. And once it just started working. What is wrong?

first, save a valid pdf onto your desktop, https://graduateland.com/api/v2/users/jesper/cv

what do you see when you open acrobat > click file > open and navigate to that pdf?


I went into "Window" and changed the "tile" setting and the document appeared. I think it was open just not visible on my screen for some reason.

Acrobat is open but it won't open pdf files by either method. Thanks for suggestions.
