Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro on Big Sur Public Beta 2

I'm having the same issue with Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro. Open a PDF and within seconds they crash.  I have tried completely uninstalling (including using the AdobeAcroCleanerTool), rebooted, then reinstalled. The problem persists. I have reverted to using preview.app to view PDFs, but obviously can no longer edit PDFS.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Adobe doesn't support any of its applications on pre-release or beta OS versions! See:

Do not use such versions on a machine that you rely on!

I'm constantly amazed by how many people ignore that advice to come on forums and complain to the various software vendors!

Thank you all the Big Sur testers, for playing with the new system and reporting problems to Apple. Your testing helps make it more reliable when systems are finally released.

I gave up on Big Sur and am currently in the process of reverting to Catalina. I also had crashing with Excel and Symantec. It was making my system basically unusable.
