Hi,
I am an IT engineer supporting users on Acrobat Pro
I have a user at the moment who is getting an issue where a white box appears over the top of their Acrobat Pro window, and never goes away. It has a flickering loading circle on it, which constantly flickers on and off but never does anything else.
I have looked this up as a white box blocking the window seems to be a common problem with Acrobat, but none of the fixes in the other posts about this issue on the forums have worked.
Here is a full list of everything I have tried to fix the issue:
- Reinstalled Acrobat by itself
- Reinstalled Creative Cloud
- Logged out of both the Creative Cloud app and the Acrobat app individually, and signed back in
- Uninstalled both Acrobat and Creative Cloud, then went into the Adobe folders in appdata\local , appdata\roaming and \Program Files and deleted everything, then reinstalled using a newly downloaded installer
- Removed the user's account from the admin centre, then reinvited them
- Removed the user's account from the admin centre, then reinvited them via a different email address to force it to generate a new user profile
- Deleted everything Adobe-related from Windows Credentials Manager
- Performed an SFC /Scannow and a DISM.EXE repair via command prompt
- Ran Acrobat Distiller as advised by this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/an-empty-white-box-is-blocking-my-pdf/m-p/11149770#M258058
- Disabled 'Show online storage when opening files' from this post https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/white-box-blocking-the-use-of-adobe-acrobat/m-p/12365633#M327445
