Reader XI (11.0.15) and Windows 10

Hey,

We've got a really weird issue with this combination. Basically after a clean install of Windows 10 and this version of Reader, after the first successfull launch, we get the following error:

Fatal error

Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server.

If I delete the Adobe folder in both the local and roaming part of the user profile, Reader successfully launches again, once, then any other attempt results in the same error.

This issue does not exist on our Windows 7 deployments (both Windows 7 and 10 are the 64-bit versions),

Any ideas?

Thanks

Acrobat

Hi,

Thanks. I've tried that already. As well as a few other suggestions I've read here.

What I have done for now is deny read access for the Everyone group to the %Username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat folder. That fixes this issue but probably not ideal.

Hi ldoodle99999999

Please update the application to the latest patch released. Refer this KB doc : Release Notes | Adobe Acrobat, Reader

If you still experience the issue, take any one machine as reference and open the task manager. Then end all the processes related to Acrobat.Then try to relaunch application.

Let us know if issue still persists.

Regards,

Meenakshi
