When I open a PDF file I can scoll for a few seconds then I can't and then the PDF closes automatically

I have no idea why this is happening. I have cleaned my hard drive from any thing that could be affecting anything related to this problem.

So HELP I pay for Adobe each month and now I can't really use it

@dr_r_jerry_6966 It really sounds like the PDF is corrupted. There may be an image or a place file or a font/widget in the PDF as soon as it scrolls it closes. Can you try and download a fresh PDF or if you are on a MAC, open the PDF on Preview, and re-save and re-name the PDF; if you are on a PC, I can’t remember if ACDSee will allow you re-save and re-name the PDF — are any other free app on your computer… then double-check if the PDF can re-open in Acrobat without closing or crashing.
