When I try to add, edit or remove a watermark, Acrobat crashes. Just started happening today, on new and existing files. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

Hi there

 

A new update for Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC is now available v20.009.20063. Please update the application to the new version. Go to Help > Check for Updates. You may also download the patch manually from the link (https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/index.html)and see if that helps.

 

Also, if you are using the dual monitor setup, please refer to the steps provided in the help article (https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/dual-monitor-crash-windows.html)

 

Let us know how it goes

 

Regards
