Correct answer philippel12887919

I saw a new build come up today :

 

Old bugged : Build: 25.1.20428.0

Newest (no bug) : Build: 25.1.20432.0

 

And I opened the same PDF that would crash Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro, and version 25.1.20432.0 seems stable so far.

 

I don't see any anything in the patch notes for that particular version.... https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/continuous/dccontinuousmar2025qfe.html

 

But I guess something was fixed.

I just reinstalled this version : 

 

Architecture: arm64

Processor: Apple M1

Build: 24.4.20272.0

AGM: 7.1.8

CoolType: 9.1.0

JP2K: 4.0.2.54782

 

And the crash DOES NOT OCCUR, I have no idea why we are paying 100's of dollars each year for Adobe poor quality products and releases, please test and report back here!

Hi @philippel12887919

 

Sorry for the troubled experience. Could you please let us know when did this start to happen? 

 

Also, help us with logs so we can find the root cause of the issue. Here is the link to use the diagnostic tool: https://adobe.ly/3XA5aGr. This can be accessed via the app itself: launch Acrobat > Help > Troubleshoot Acrobat. This tool also helps you upload logs to our servers from your machine and share the log ID with us so we can track them. 

 

We would also require crash logs: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/collect-logs-crash-freeze.html please upload those on any cloud drive and share the downloadable link with us
