Question

Acrobat Pro resets preferences to default

Every time I close Adobe Acrobat Pro (paying for a full license subscription) it resets all preferences to default. It literally signs me out of my account and resets all the preferences. When I open the program it's as if I've never used it and it signs me in to my account and everything is back to default.

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the delay.

 

What is the version of the Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 24.01.20604 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

Also try to repair the installation from the help menu (Win Only) and see if that works.

 

If it still doesn't work, please remove the application using the Acrobat cleaner tool https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html , reboot the computer and reinstall the application using the direct link https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html

 

Let us know how it goes.

You may also download the patch manually from the link https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/index.html

That looks like an OS problem. Is your computer a managed system by your IT?

IT looked at it and said it's an Adobe issue.
