    Hi casual_athlete5721,


    Thank you for reaching out, and sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with Preflight.

    Since the error occurs when running a Preflight Fixup but works when using the wizard action, please try a different built-in fixup on the PDF. This should help determine whether the behaviour is specific to the fixup. 

    Additionally, try reinstalling the application to see if that resolves the problem. You may follow the steps suggested below:

    • Uninstall the application and run the cleaner tool from the following link: Acrobat Cleaner tool.

    • Reboot the machine. 

    • Install Adobe Acrobat from the following page: Install Acrobat.  


    Let us know how it goes.


    Thanks,

    Meenakshi

    ​@casual_athlete5721 I would check to see and update to the latest version if possible. Help - Check for updates. After doing so, save a PDF to your computer such as your desktop (the reason is if the PDF contains non-English text, embedded fonts, or special characters in the metadata, by saving the file as a new PDF, it may fix it and you can try the Preflight Fixup again.. And test that out.

    Better yet, open a totally different PDF to double-check it isn’t the PDF that may be corrupted!

    It is the latest version “Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) (26.002.22031)”. Every PDF seemed the same. Otherwise,If I use the wizard action to use these Preflight tools,  it didn’t cause this error.
