Acrobat crashing when creating a form

New Here ,
Apr 10, 2025 Apr 10, 2025

I am editing a form that already existed (on a Mac), I had to add 2 new form fields. With one of them, whenever I try to name it or add a tooltip, Acrobat crashes (this happened like 20 times). I eventually gave up and moved on to tagging the form fields using the Accessibility tool, this time when I tried to tag the one new form field I had added, it started crashing again (and keeps doing so). It's very frustrating and I am not sure what to do. I already tried creating a copy of the file, reverting to "old" Acrobat, and updating my software, none of these things worked.

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

 

Is this as issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check.

What is the version of the Acrobat Pro and the OS you are using? Go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure its updated to the latest version 25.01.2043X Go to help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

 

Also collect and share the Acrobat diagnostic logs as described here https://adobe.ly/4lhx4Bo for further investigation.
