Acrobat Pro 2020 randomly crashes upon opening random PDF files

[Karmelitska25428669u5g2]

Hi,

our newly installed Acrobat Pro 2020 started to randomly crash upon opening random PDF files (but totally randomly since the same files may or may not work when tested for like a fifth time or so.)

We have two Acrobat licenses in total, only one of them has this issue. Both the same version, both on the latest Windows 10 Pro (July 2022 update.)

Please help, accounting department needs it to work properly again. Thanks in advance!

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that

Is this an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check. If the file is stored on a shared network/drive please download it to your computer locally and then try again.

Also try to repair the installation from the help menu (Win Only) and see if that works.

Please try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-defau...

You may also try to turn off the protected mode for testing. Go to Edit > Preferences > Enhanced Security > Uncheck 'Enable Protected mode at startup' > Turn Off the Protected mode and Uncheck Enhanced Security > Click OK and reboot the computer.

Note: Please turn on the security after testing to avoid any security risk.

You may also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in Win and try using the application there and check.

Regards
Amal
