Acrobat DC opens, then immediately closes

I had the same issue and found out that I was logged into another computer hence it was not allowing me to open another session.  Usually the app would tell you to log out of another computer but Acrobat shuts down iinstead. 

Do to Adobe.com.  Click on Help & Support, Manage my  account.  Click on Plans and payment drop down at the top of the screen. Click on Activated devices. From there you have the option of signing out of all other devices.

Same problem.  I had both Adobe DC and Adobe Reader Touch.  I deleted Adobe DC and all is fine.

Same baloney previews print and gone blank all I have left is the outline of all the different sections available for editing all blank, I emailed to myself 

and was able to edit and then it wouldn't print. Abode is like the granddad of them all, their latest stuff makes garbage smell appealing in summer, what a disappointment, Big, Rich, Spoiled Rotten. This place caresa ZERO about customer appreciation..                                                                                                                          

So, after being on vacation for 10 days, this was also happening to me. All it took was signing back into my account. Hit the little up arrow in your task bar and click on the infinity sign. Then sign in. If you are already signed in; sign out and sign back in. 

Good luck!

It's probalby Adobe thinking you've reached your limit of activated devices. Go to the "run" command, type in "acrodist" (without the quotes). Acrobat Distiller should open, you'll probably be asked to delete one device since you've reached your "activation limit". Delete one device, continue, done. Close Acrobat Distiller. Now open Creative Cloud Suite and open Acrobat. Should work. 

Done. 

A reply for anyone still having this issue:

If acrobat is closing after a blank popup comes up immediately after opening, it might be failing to load the "Too many devices" menu. An easy fix is to go into any other adobe suite app, you'll be met with the popup, make sure to disable one of the other active devices and once it accepts your changes you should be good to try acrobat again. Hope this helps, my issue was similar and this fixed it.

Just had this issue also,

Final cause i think for me, was that Acrobat thought my device limit was reached, and would close, but it would not display the device limit options,

Opened Photoshop, and it correctly displayed the devices currently enabled, i saw my current device was not active, so activated it,

now when opening acrobat, it worked and no longer insta closed

Uninstall previous version of reader. Download the recent install file. But: BEFORE RUNNING IT,  RIGHT CLICK TO OPEN PROPERTIES, THEN IN TAB "GENERAL"  click on UNBLOCK (right corner on the bottom) , then APPLY.

After you can run the EXE install file (I always run it as Administrator).  After this, the program will take several minutes to download from Adobe Internet site, and after end of download, and TERMINATE, Adobe Acrobat will appear on the list of programs. Clisk on it will result in about 1-2 minutes wat until it loads, and then it will stay on ready to be used!

I've ran into this problem where Adobe Acrobat would open, then immediately close. I've managed to fix it so I'm sharing my fix on threads relating to this problem hoping it'll help others.

My issues was this:

I opened the app from CC (or from opening a PDF). The app would open but close after about 3-5 seconds. I did this for a few times and saw that in the bar at the top of the window, there was a "Sign In" button, right where the account usually is in my other CC apps. Before closing, a small window appeared to pop up in the middle of the screen, but it just disappeared in an instant. Then the app would close, even if it managed to open any PDF I wanted.

What I tried:

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. 

I tried this fix: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-closes-after-launch.html but it did nothing. Plus it's a weird fix for Adobe to suggest, but anyway.

Then I came upon this thread: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-crashes-on-windows-os.html

Here, Solution 4 guided me to try opening "acrodist". When opening it, the same small window popped up in the middle of the screen, this time staying opened and indicating an error with my account, and an error code 205, with a prompt to contact support.

When searching for a fix for error code 205, I found this thread: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/fix-licensing-error-205.html

Another seemingly weird fix, but I tried it anyway. And this worked for me. If you do try it, here are the steps:

1. Press WIN-R and type in CMD

2. Type in the text below:

for /F "tokens=1,* delims= " %G in ('cmdkey /list ^| findstr /c:"Adobe App "') do cmdkey /delete %H

3. Hit Enter/Return

4. Wait for all the text prompts to stop. Then try launching Acrobat. This worked for me. 

I find it wild that 1. this is a problem that has been persisting for so many years, 2. That Adobe doesn't implement an automatic fix for a seemingly basic "just clear the auth tokens when you install/reinstall" feature that breaks a core app on their suite we pay a literal ton for. 3. That none of the support here on the community forum correctly identified and pointed to this absolutely basic fix, instead recommending wild things like deleting app preferences or running "tools" that don't seem to work in most cases. 

I am experiencing this issue with Adobe Substance Modeler. All other apps I have installed work fine. I have uninstalled Modeler and reinstalled, restarted, shut down, etc. 

I'll try the CC cleaner and update.
