Acrobat opens on its own on Mac mojave

I have the same problem. Here's what I have:

Mac OS Mojave 10.14.4

Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2019.010.20099 (Build: 19.10.20099.322322)

I don't have anything Adobe in my login items. It just opens at random times and then closes after a couple of seconds.

Same issue here. macOS Mojave 10.4.4, Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version 2019.010.20099 (Build: 19.10.20099.322322). Adobe Creative Cloud says there are no app updates available, so this must be the latest version.

Preview (not Acrobat) is the default PDF viewer on my system. It will remain the default as long as Acrobat remains buggy and slow.

AdobeResourceSyncronizer is listed in my Login items list. I set it to "Hide" weeks ago with no effect.

Acrobat often launches, unbidden, when I log in to unlock my screen. This has happened for months. I use "Force Quit" and move on with my day with a growing desire to avoid Adobe products wherever I can.

Seeing the same behavior.

Mac OS X El Captain 10.11.6

Acrobat DC v.2019.010.20098

Also wondering what the AdobeResourceSyncrhonizer does and what I lose if I remove it.

I'm going to remove it from Login items (I believe I've done this once before), but not delete the app itself yet.

It seems it is part of Acrobat Reader (and presumably DC) for keeping track of documents across CC or in use by multiple users.

I am encountering the same exact issue. It's automatically open every time I turn on my Mac after being asleep. Re-installing did not fix it nor did removing anything Adobe related from the startup items. Hope this gets resolved soon.

Same problem.... nothing in startup items system 10.4 and latest version of acrobat.

I am having the same issue running the MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 beta and the latest Acrobat DC 2019.10. Even after removing Adobe Resource Synchronizer from the login items, it still persists. No file is opened and no explanation is given for why it automatically opens on my 2017 MacBook Pro 15".

I'm having the exact same issue. I have removed Acrobat from the Login items tab and this still occurs.

Hi Florians,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

As you have mentioned the application opens itself and you did not add it as the startup application.

Could you please check if there is any Adobe application/file listed under the startup applications?

Please refer to the steps mentioned below:

- Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences.

- Select Users & Groups in the system preference window.

- Then select the user account at the extreme left of the User & Groups window.

- On right, click on the Login items tab and check if the Acrobat application is listed there.

If that does not help, please share the Acrobat Pro DC version you were using on the Mac.

Did you make any recent changes like updating or changing settings on your Mac after which the issue started?

We will be waiting for your response.

Regards,

Meenakshi
