Since about a month my, and my colleges Acrobat Pro (64-bit) version keeps crashing/hanging for some reason. The program is up to date. Last week I found a another new update, but it still very unresponsive. 😞

Is there an easy fix or do we need to go back and install and old version?

Thanks.

Correct answer Amal.

Hi there

 

The 64-bit application is a unified application for Acrobat and Acrobat Reader. If you have installed Acrobat Reader 64-bit and you purchase an Acrobat subscription, the Acrobat Reader 64-bit application will upgrade to become a fully functional Acrobat 64-bit application.

For more info. please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/about-acrobat-reader-dc-migration-to-64-bit.html

The answer that’s been provided is not true as I am having the same issue and I have a subscription and the updated 64 bit version

Hi All,

Is there now a solution to this problem? I can't always repair the software and then it works for some hours and then as soon as I open a PDF it crashes constantly.

Thanks,

Katharina

I don't think Adobe will ever fix this problem.  This has been going on for years now.  The app shuts down my entire computer.  I have a feeling it's because I use aa Apple M1 Max but I've also hear PC users having the same issue.

I switched from the 64-bit to the 32-bit a long time ago.  This did end my crashing problem.  I was having the issue on PC.
