Adobe Acrobat Update Fehler

Im jüngsten Adobe Acrobat Reader-Update ist es wieder einmal zu einem substantiellen Problem gekommen.

Adobe läßt sich nicht mehr öffnen.

Es wird angegeben, dass ein geschützter Modus nicht möglich ist.

Im ungeschützten Modus wird ein "fatal error" angegeben.

Ein Neustart hilft nicht.

Ich bitte um raschestmögliche Behebung.

Hello @Markdwtuk

 

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out. We're sorry for the trouble you had with the product.

 

We have already reported this issue to the product team, and they are investigating the root cause and working on a fix. Thanks for your cooperation on this. 

As a workaround, installing the Visual C++ runtime fixes the issue.

 

Regards,

Anand Sri.

Hello

Yesterday's update patch to version 25.001.20982 has prevented our users opening files with Adobe Reader some many of our Win 11 laptops.  They get this message onscreen whenever they try to open a PDF file:

whichever option they try you get the same error:

Reddit has reported the same issue here Acrobat Reader 25.001.20982 deployed by PDQ Connect won’t run? : r/pdq.

Looks like the only way to resolve is to uninstall and reinstall an older version.  Are Adobe aware of this issue?  We use PDFs a lot so would be good to get a solution, meanwhile just telling staff to use a browser to view them instead.

 

thanks

Mark

We have been facing the same issue with the latest update that was rolled out.

Have Adobe found the problem or resolution yet?

In "Reddit" many, many more people report about this substantial problem.

It appears that deinstallation and downgrade (or changing the PDF provider) will be the only menaingful solution.

Yes, we downgraded... 

We cannot use other provider because our user depend on Adobe to "Fill and Sign" docs.

So i guess Adobe needs to fix the update ASAP...
