Hello,

 

We recently upgraded a employees laptop and have just installed Acrobat on his new laptop. We are now having a list of issues with his app as nothing seems to work.  List of issues below.

- Selects multiple words as one big text box. 

- Cannot add signature as the button does nothing.

- Infinite white screen with blue circle.

 

All issues do not occure on his previous laptop.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @Ben322368983yug ,

 

Hope you are doing well and  sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with Acrobat DC.

 

To help you further, could you please let me know the version of Acrobat DC you're using? You can find this information by going to Help > About Acrobat. Make sure you have the most recent version, which should be 23.03.20284.

 

Next, please check for any available updates by going to Help > Check for updates. Afterward, reboot your computer.

If the issue persists, you can try repairing the installation from the Help menu (Windows only) to see if that resolves the problem.

 

Additionally, resetting the Acrobat preferences might be beneficial. You can follow the steps outlined in this guide: Acrobat Preference Settings Reset.

 

If none of these steps work, you might want to consider creating a new test user profile with full admin rights on Windows or enabling the root account on macOS. This can help determine if the issue is specific to your user profile.

 

Should the problem persist, you can use the Acrobat cleaner tool to completely remove the application. You can find detailed instructions here: Acrobat Cleaner Tool. After using the cleaner tool, be sure to reboot your computer and then reinstall Acrobat DC using the direct link provided here.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or need additional assistance.
