Hello @Bettina,I hope you are doing well, and we're sorry for the trouble you had with the app. Could you please confirm if you are on the latest build of Acrobat: 26.001.21691, Planned update, Jun 25, 2026? Check from Acrobat > Help > About Adobe Acrobat. Also, have you tried any other PDF with a different type of font settings? Does the app crash with any other tool as well? Ensure that you are on the latest build of Acrobat version, and try again. Restart the machine after installing any pending updates of the app. If the issue still continues, with all the font types and with all the tools, please collect the crash logs using this tool, reproduce the issue, and capture the logs. Share the log with us for further investigations. To collect crash logs, please refer to this article: https://adobe.ly/4eCCQwmLet us know how it goes, and share your findings. Regards,Anand Sri.
