Acrobat opens main window off screen and all the dialogs as well

New Here ,
May 02, 2025 May 02, 2025

Hi,

I changed my screens configuration and now Acrobat opens on invisible screen. I have to do ALT+Space, M and then move it with arrows.

And every time I open it is the same.

What makes it worse is that ALL the dialog boxes (for Save As..., for Open) do the same and it's really annoying.

I tried changing the Main screen to other monitor, tried to use "Last view settings" from preferences, tried
closing it Maximized, tried in preferences to set "use biggest monitor" - nothing helps!

So, how do I have Acrobat open VISIBLE again, and have it restore normal position for all the dialog boxes???

What's the exact version number of the application (You can find it out by going to Help - About Adobe Acrobat)? What's your OS version?

Well, that was dissapointing... I tried to uninstall it with Cloud App - it gave the error there,

2025-05-07 15_35_09-Creative Cloud Desktop.png

it was not able to complete the Uninstall, so I used the Cleaner Tool. Uninstall completed, rebooted, Installed Acrobat with Cloud App - and the dialog Windows are at the EXACTLY same unreachable place there were before!

What is the next step?
