Went to launch Acrobat desktop this morning and it simply will not launch no matter how I try to launch it. Worked just fine yesterday. Got online to google a solution and did the whole, Adobe Cleaner and reinstall app, and still nothing. I’ve tried this twice being sure to reboot my computer along the way. Tried to reinstall it through Creative cloud and by downloading the online app and no luck. Any advice would be appreciated. On a MacBook running OS Ventura.

Hi, exact same thing for me. OS Ventura 13.0. Never had an issue and how the App won’t even open. Does anyone have any fixes? (sorry could not enter a new comment, so adding this as a reply)

Exactly the same thing happened to me this morning, East Coast US near DC. My manager is on the phone with Adobe now after we tried everything google and adobe help said to try and still won’t launch. Get 1 bounce of the icon then nothing.

Please let me know what you find out. I could see something like this is the app had recently updated, but it hasn’t.

Been on the phone with Adobe for quite some time, still no good results. They tried downloading the standalone installer but it still won’t launch after install.
