[karl_1382]

Hi,

as mentioned in 

Adobe Pro keeps crashing when opening some PDFs - Adobe Community - 14909692

I have the same issues here.
Opening PDF files directly from Outlook, saving them on local SSD or network shares causing the Acrobat to freeze when scrolling/try to print/try to save.

I ran the diagniostics, here ist the ID:

We haven't received any update on this issues from Adobe. this almost 15days. We need a proper solution from Adobe Engineering team.

I have the same issue with version 2024.003.20180 64-bit in Windows 10. Acrobat Reader freezes for a while after opening any PDF document.

I have the same issue. Adobe acrobat PRO freezes and gets stuck with a blue circle, even when the PDF is only 4 pages. Very frustrating. cant get any work done.

I've had two users report this behavior today. Currently, our workaround is to make Edge the default app for PDFs.

Same issue reported here by myself and a number of others in our team.  Appears to be across all PDF files I open.  Has only recently started occuring.  

[uwew93555415]

We have already had several users with this issue. Feel free to contact me directly, and we will be happy to assist in this case

[LJSM]

Our workaround is:

1. Open Adobe (be sure to have no PDF's open)

2. File and select "disable new acrobat"

Puts us back to the older version where these issues are not a problem!  Worked a treat.

This works for me !! Thanks

[ilangkumaran_C]

With this it wont update to a latest version again?

[Sauerstoffwer226891570dc3]

This worked for our Company too, thanks!

[uwew93555415]

This seems to be working well; thank you very much!

[Laxe]

THANKS ! Same problem with several of my customers, same solution 🙂

Has anyone found a way to deploy it via GPO or Registrykey? I have a lot of clients in my environment and search for a solution to doploy it.

[NMS_4040]

I found the Registrykey which controlls the modern UI.

Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral

Value: bEnableAV2 -> REG_DWORD -> 0

Hopfully Adobe provides an fix soon that we can change back to Modern UI.

This worked for us as well. Looking for a reg key or some way to deploy this change to ~200 machines.

Open to suggestions lol... Thanks all!

The same issue with version 2024.003.20180 64-bit and Windows 10. Acrobat Reader freezes for a while after opening any PDF document.
There are sample PDF documents from this page https://www.princexml.com/samples/ (Dictionary and Newsletter)
and issue video recording files in the attachment.

Hi @AVorobjovs 
we tried replicating the issue but were not able to reproduce the same. we would like to have a call to understand the issue more.

i have shared my email in Private message  to you so we can connect offline and setup some time

Same issue for us, Adobe Acrobat Reader v24.003.20180 keeps freezing for many users.  We will try the work-around provided here.  PLEASE Adobe, create a fix asap!  Thanks!

[Steven268882992uj1]

We are suddenly seeing this in our environment as well. About half a dozen complaints so far, all version 24.003.20180 on Windows 11. PDF opens but Adobe hangs once they try to interact with it (zoom in, zoom out, scroll, etc.).
