Hi Valerielynns,

Sorry for the delay in response.

Are you still experiencing this issue? If yes, is this happening with a particular file or with all the files?

You may try following steps and let us know if that helps any.

  • Launch Acrobat and check for update, Click >Help>Check for Updates.
  • If there are pending updates, install and restart the machine and try again.
  • If above doesn't help, try repairing. To repair, launch Acrobat>Help>Repair installation. Once done restart your machine and try again.

If your issue is already resolved, please update this discussion with your findings.

What version of Reader are you using? How are you opening the files (from within Reader or from within a web browser)?

Not sure on the version, I'm just an end-user. All I see is Adobe Acrobat DC. I'm opening the pdf files from Outlook email.

When you are viewing the file, at that moment, do you see a title bar saying Adobe Acrobat Reader and some stuff?   If you DON’T see that title bar, what do you see?
