Good Morning!

 

I've been having some issues with getting Acrobat re-downloaded to my PC. I've un-installed, restarted my PC and then re-installed the program and everytime I try to open the program it crashes before it opens. When I look in the event viewer, it has logged an application error: 

 

Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 24.2.21005.0, time stamp: 0x66b40754
Faulting module name: Acrobat.exe, version: 24.2.21005.0, time stamp: 0x66b40754
Exception code: 0xc0000409
Fault offset: 0x0000000000337f7d
Faulting process id: 0x2c24
Faulting application start time: 0x01dafa1e4b535886

Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe

I'm not sure what to do to get this to actually work again. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Correct answer Austin31452272msj7

@S. S When I went into the settings, that option was already enabled, and unfortunately it still isn't opening, crashing before it opens. 


@S. S Actually, it turns out I just needed to disable that setting. Unchecking compatability mode got it to work!!

Hi @Austin31452272msj7,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with Acrobat!

 

Would you mind updating the app to the latest version (2024.003.20054) and letting us know if you still experience the issue?

To update, go to Menu-> Help-> Check for updates.

 

If you still experience the issue, please help us gather the logs from your machine: https://adobe.ly/478bloW. Please make sure Procmon is selected. You can upload logs using this tool and share your Unique log ID with us. 

 

Thanks,
Souvik

Hi! I'm not able to download any updates because the program won't ever open, it always crashes before it opens. Here is the Log ID: 435831f0-2e9e-4cf0-9941-e241b2f1d71f

@Austin31452272msj7, Thanks for sharing the ID. 

 

I have forwarded this to the dev team for further investigation.
