Installation Problem: IMSLIB not found. Acrobat Services will not work.

I am also experiencing this problem when opening (my purchased) Acrobat DC Pro on my Macbook Pro. Most of the suggestions above seem to relate to Windows. Anyone got any suggestions for a fix for Mac?

Additional info: I don't have Photoshop; Fill & Sign function also not working - the document simply disappears.

The  Final Solution for  Acrobat Reader DC missing  (IMSLib.dll) is :

1- Copy (IMSLib.dll) File from :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\P6

And past into :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\P7\imslib.dll

Done .

If you recently upgrade your OS, you may have some issues on the C:\Program files (x86)\Common\Adobe folder and subfolders.

Unfortunatly you will have to take ownership of all folders included in the Adobe foler.

Right click on each subfolder --> Properties --> Security Tab --> advanced --> Change Owner, and add you current account to Owner, think about to click on apply to subfolders and Objects, click Ok and close, you will be able to delete all contents

You maybe will ahve to delete AGS services through WIndows Service if it is till running

With cmd on admin mode, type sc delete "name of the hightlighted service"

With admin rights if you do this you will be able to install and run without error the Acrobat DC soft

Adobe common don't propose stupid answers as Microsoft !!! uninstall all reinstall and get same error or issue !!!

Even more how you can mark it as "ANSWERED" !!! ???

Be Constructive & first check your solution by self !!!

I found a way to solve the problem:

1. Download the IMSLib.dll from this link: https://www.dllme.com/dll/files/imslib_dll.html

2. Copy all the content to this folder: C:\Windows\System32\ (suppose you are installing windows on C drive).

3. Done!

I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC that I paid for. Everything was working fine and then one day I opened a PDF file and received the above message regarding IMSLib. All the suggestions for fixing the problem refer to the free copy. Any suggestions, my husband uses the program for his business.

Thank you very much!

I just Received a pop up after getting the IMSLIB missing message to go and download the adobe application manager that my key was missing or corrupt.

Typical Adobe.  No solution.  Everyone is guessing.   They know this is a problem.

I've got resolved the problem relrated to Acrobat DC starting errors.

"IMSLIB not found. Acrobat Services will not work"

Resolution procedure is basically deletion of following folders related to Acrobat.

Step. 1: Cleaning with Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool available at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Step. 2: Manual Deletion of C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe

Step. 3: Manual Deletion of C:\Users\USER_ID\AppData\Local\Adobe

• Folders related to Step. 2 and 3 are protected by permission.  Hence I used MS powershell with Administrator privilege.

Step. 4: Installation of Acrobat DC available at Download Pro or Standard versions of Acrobat DC, XI, or X

If above procedure fails, please find "Adobe" folders in your PC and remove it using powershell with admin privilege.

FYI,

Adobe ARM lives in :\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0

Adobe AAM lives in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobeApplicationManager

Hope the information is helpful to you.

My issue ended up being a memory error.  I ended up replacing the memory, formatting my machine, and now everything works well.  This however is specific to my machine, and I don't know if it would apply to any of the other posters here.
