acrobat standard dc won't scan and freeze

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC in early 2017 and it worked fine.  Now, I notice the user account control icon.  Since then, when I try to create a PDF, it just freezes and I have to "end task" for it to close.  I cannot find any help on the support page.  I run Windows 7 on my workstation.

I did finally get it working.  Somehow the "compatibility" got set to Windows XP.  I switched it to win 7 and it works fine.

Same Fujitsu scanner model here and exact same issue as OP...problem started last week. I'm not sure if its tied to an Acrobat update.

AnandSri, any path to resolution yet?

thank you.

I was finally able to create the dump file.  Even though I have admin privileges on my workstation, I logged into my computer as admin and was able to select the proper scanner and everything worked fine.  Two things I noticed while I was logged into my computer as admin is; 1. when I opened adobe, it did not sign me in.  So maybe it has something to do with my account at Adobe.; 2. on the desktop icon while logged in as admin, I did not see the User Account Control Icon on the adobe icon like I do when I am logged in as myself.   What does this mean?  i have the UAC turned off.

When I try to create the dump file, it tells me access is denied.  I am logged in as administrator on my machine.  Also, I could not attempt some of the troubleshooting because it won't even let me select a scanner when I open Adobe.  I have made sure I am on the latest driver though.  It gives me no error message.  it just freezes and when I go to task manager, it says not responding.

Anand,

None of these steps are helping.  I notice it freezes when I try to scan to the program.  Does this help?  It is a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner.  I have had this set up with no issues for a long time.
