Acrobat Reader

I have installed Adobe acrobat reader on my Mac. When no PDF files are open, I see it automatically opens a “welcome” screen, the default page being the Recent tab. This tab contains advertisements which I don’t like so I would like to hide this tab or perhaps the whole default screen When acrobat reader launches. Can I find a setting to do that in the preferences? Architecture: x86_64Processor: IntelBuild: 25.1.20643.0AGM: 7.1.17CoolType: 10.0.7JP2K: 4.0.2.54782

I recently updated from version 26.001.21677 to version 26.001.21771. Previously I was able to print documents with mixed size papers without issue (mixed 8.5x11 and 8.5x14). Now using version 26.001.21771 I am no longer able to print these documents. I get an error message saying can not print the document, please visit the help page. I have tried this using multiple different printers and still get the same error, please advise.

Hi everyoneDoes anyone have a solution to this problem when using the adobe converter in outlook to convert emails to PDF it automatically converts the micrograms to milligrams? For example:It converted 300 μg/mL to 300mg/mL.I have the latest acrobat reader installed as wellThanks!

Running macOS Sequoia 15.7.9 and Acrobat Pro v. 2026.002.21901I am proofreading chapters of a book and absolutely, positively DO NOT want to edit the PDF. Yet Acrobat keeps throwing “Edit PDF?” pop-ups at me that I dismiss, only to see them reappear a few minutes later. It’s distracting and annoying. How do I shut them off entirely?It irks me that Adobe assumes its users (in Pro? seriously?) don’t know what they want to do. If I wanted to edit the PDF, I’d be editing the PDF. Show it once? That I understand. Repeatedly? NO. Trust your customer to know what they intend to do.

I have two OneDrive folders on my laptop: one for my personal account and one for my university account. Whenever I open a PDF file from my university OneDrive or my laptop's local files, it opens completely fine, like normal. But when I try to open any PDF file from my personal OneDrive, it pops up with the message, "There was an error opening this document. Access denied." All the permissions for the files allow me to open them, and some of them are files I created. It has only started happening recently, despite having worked for a long time before this issue arose.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat, and I have signed out and back into my OneDrive, but nothing has worked.  If I move the files to my university OneDrive or local files, the file can be opened, it's only when it comes directly from my personal OneDrive. I have tried opening the PDFs on a different computer, and I could access them from my personal OneDrive, so it's specifically t

Adobe Reader (pro) constantly asks questions in blue boxes such as asking me to enable extensions in Chrome (even if they are enabled). I never want to see any of these boxes ever again. In preferences I have “Don’t show messages while viewing a document” checked and “Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat” unchecked. I don’t know if Adobe gets more “points” for documents being opened in a browser but there are plenty of quirks in the browser experience to have the app be preferable. You should let us prefer the app and not advertise your Chrome extension all day.

I am trying to get Adobe reader 32-bit installed on an ARM laptop but am continually running into errors. When attempting the online installer, Reader_en_install.exe, I will get an error message that a newer version is already installed. When attempting the offline installer, AcroRdrDC2600221901_en_US.exe, I am getting a message that the application cannot be installed on my operating system. The errors persist after a full reset of Windows and attempting the install as the very first step after completing the initial out of box setup. When reviewing the install log, the very first line states This application cannot be installed on this operating system (Windows 8.1 64-bit). Setup will now terminate. Please refer to the minimum system requirements at http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_system_reqs. The laptop is on Windows 11 24H2 and all reg keys, cmd commands and PowerShell commands report this. I was able to find an installer for a version of Reader a few years old and successfully inst

Any solutions?

Hi everyone, so I am trying to print my .pdf file in color, but it only prints out in black & white, even though it's in color on the screen itself.I made the .PDF in word and then converted it to a .PDF .. Could it be some word settings?I can print out other .pdf files normally in color, so it shouldn't be the printer settings. Everything is up to date, driver etc.What should I do?

Hi all. I'm posting this in the hopes that it might help someone else out that may have the same symptom. Last week, my Adobe Reader stopped printing. Nothing I did produced any result. Not hitting the print icon. Not hitting CTRL+P. Not selecting "print" from the drop-down menu. There was no error message. No nothing. It was as if I hadn't clicked anything. I tried repairing the installation, no help. I've rebooted the computer many times over the last couple weeks. Here's what finally fixed it. On a whim, I went to Windows Explorer, right-clicked on the PDF file, and selected "print" from Explorers context menu. Adobe flashed open for a sec, and the document printed. Now, Adobe Reader prints as it always used to do. There must have been some little "glitch" or something going on.Problem solved. Hope this helps someone else.Artie

Error loading WINHTTP.DLLWhen I open a PDF file, the error from attached file image is display. 

Update 21208 of Acrobat Reader breaks the app, it won’t start on Windows 7.It shows “This program couldn’t launch because the object api-ms-win-core-winrt-l1-1-0.dll is missing” or something along those lines....Please fix. Acrobat Reader 32-bit, Win 7 SP1 64-bit

I want to prevent Adobe from automatically opening PDF files I download from Microsoft Edge.  The suggested solution is to use CTRL+K to open Preferences and then uncheck the box titled  “Always open PDFs downloaded from the web”.  However, the screenshot below shows that this option does not exist for me at all.  Please help. 

Correct a "PDF missing component" error message after opening Quiockbooks Pro 2020 in Windows 11

As of today, I am unable to delete some editable text and/or images in familiar pdf files. I can put a bounding box around the item that want to delete and I can resize it, copy it, paste it and I can even move it off the page, but the delete button has no effect. This seems to only affect some of the editable items or images on the page and not others. I have been following through on some suggested fixes on Copilot but nothing has resolved it so far. I am guessing an update has caused some issues as this is not the only thing that I have encountered with Pro today. Other settings have changed, which I have had to reset. Would be good to get some prompt attention from Adobe on this. Using V.2026.001.21789

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader -  the free version.  Everytime I open a pdf file, a pop up comes up asking me to subscribe to the free trail and to buy now for the Adobe Pro.  When I close out the pop up, it shuts down the Adobe Reader as well.  How can I just use the free version?   Thank you 

Whenever I open an existing pdf document, by default Acrobat always includes the right-hand side "tools pane", which takes up about 1/3rd of the window pane.  To minimise it, I have to always go to >>View,>>Show/Hide,>>Tools Pane>> then toggle/click.  Or on my laptop shift+Fn Key+F4.How can I change this to not include the Tools Pane in full and just have it in its minimised form, like icons on the right-hand side, which is how it shows when I manually hide it.

I am sorry to disturb again the community but i still cannot install Acrobat Reader on my PC (Win 11 Surface Pro).I am using the official download from Adobe web site, installation starts and finishes successfully but NO Acrobat Reader is installed on the PC.I tried this over and over again. I also used Adobe cleaner to make sure that no garbage from prior installations remain on the PC but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.Many thanksDinos

Hi,I have tried using the assistant but it wasn’t very helpful in this instance.We have multiple RDS hosts and user will report that Adobe has crashed.It produces an error "Something went wrong - A running instance of Acrobat has caused an error". I have created a DMP file I would like to submit to support but I am unable to find how to do this.Is someone able to point me in the right direction? Or I can provide a link to the DMP file if someone on here is able to review it.TIA.Rob

we use self host nextcloud with libresign on openssl. the certificate include crl path pass on curl and also use freetsa. all openssl and freetsa pem/crt import to reader trust store and also no error find on certificate detail. whatever we test only LTV is show not enable and all other status work fine. I have question does reader/freetsa support self host openssl or is that force to use DSS?  

I am constantly being bombarded with annoying Adobe Autocrat update pops and Adobe product promo popups several times each day. How do I stop them?

Hi there. Normally when someone send me a PDF, I can open it via iphone/ipad and use the fill&sign and drag my signature to sign it and the form is saved. Recently the pdf file sent to me are password protected and i can import to acrobat and enter password and sign but it doesn't get saved. Is there a work around for this. There is no problem when doing it on desktop but I don't want to leave my adobe signed in on desktop with my signature and I prefer on iphone/ipad as it's faster and I am always on the move. Please advise. Thanks!Swadeep

The linked pdf file was created in latex, and displays correctly (with the dark blue blackboard background) in Acrobat. However, the background disappears in Reader.https://www.motionmountain.net/Quantum_2025.pdf AI does not help.How can one solve the situation? 

I realize it may seem somewhat unusual to post a question and then answer it myself. However, after more than three decades developing interactive PDF forms and applications, I thought this might be a useful topic to share with Adobe Reader users who may not realize how much functionality can be built into a PDF while still allowing the completed application to operate in the free Adobe Reader.The answer is yes — and considerably more than many Adobe Reader users may realize!Interactive PDF forms can be designed to perform many application-like functions while still operating in the free Adobe Reader. Depending upon how the PDF is developed, JavaScript can be used behind the scenes to perform calculations, validate information, automate repetitive tasks, manage form data, populate fields, search and retrieve stored information, and provide other interactive functions.From the user's standpoint, none of this requires an understanding of Acrobat JavaScript or PDF form development.

I have some digital downloads that are google pdfs. Is it possible to convert them to Adobe PDFs? All I see is the option to convert them to other formats. I need to do this in order to print them.
