    Hey!

     

    Thanks for sharing the screenshot of the error message. This screenshot says that there is a problem with Acrobat/Reader. If its running then please exit. Which means, Acrobat/Reader is running at the background but it doesn't let the document to be open up. In that case, we could suggest few steps that you can try on:

     

    • Reboot your system
    • Try to open the PDF file
    • Open Task manager>select Acrobat instances and close task
    • Does it open the file? If it doesn't then
    • Open Reader>Help>Repair Installation
    • Nothing works, then Navigate to Reader>Edit>Preferences>Security (Enhanced)>disable "Protected Mode at Startup" and "Enhanced Security">OK>Close Reader and reopen.

     Note: these changes are only for testing purpose. Once tested, please change it back to the previous setting. 

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Thanks,

    Akanchha
