Afternoon. Same problem here, for months, or is it years already. Thank you. Reading through all the solutions, some work partially, until the next upgrade in two days.
@Adobe, Please create a toned down or minimalistic version of Acrobat DC that does not have to load all the bells, whistles, and errors with the software. It is almost worthwhile not having a subscription and just running Acrobat Reader, or changing to something entirely different.
All the stuff you are building into your applications is remarkable, and sporadically, I love playing on all the bells and whistles. However, some people just need a basic system to send proofs and documents to clients and back, without having to upload everything to Adobe Cloud, or having to continuously switch it off, running AI or all the other functions. I definitely don't want my confidential work on Adobe cloud hanging about.
If nothing else, at least include an option to run it in Sandbox mode with none of the optional tools included, apart from the ones you want to include in your application, where no constant internet connection is required.
Furthermore, not everybody has superfast internet or has superfast computers and laptops with all the latest specs and memory digits and graphic cards attached to it. Running at 16G memory and a memory card, and Adobe's connectivity requirements, still slows everything down. The memory is not the issue here, the connectivity is in an urban area.
The constant need for connectivity from Adobe applications makes the workflow slow, sluggish and frustrating, and exceptionally heavy on system resources. Verify licenses and release your grip on system resources so that work can get done, instead of watching adobe icons spinning into oblivion endlessly for 5 to 10 minutes, every time you need to create a PDF to send out on email.
Bring Freehand MX back, and charge less if you need to, and a simple basic Acrobat Reader with some minor editing and form filling tools, without all the other baggage.
