Good day all,

I have a Mac user that keeps getting the pinwheel or a not responding when using Adobe Acrobat.  

Mac specs:

- OS X 10.14.6 (fully updated)

- 32GB RAM, 2TB HD with 1.5 TB free space, i9 processor

 

We already tried the following:

- SMC/NVRAM resets

- sudo purge

- reinstalling Adobe software

- deleting Adobe preferences

- ran all Adobe updates

 

No other programs have this issue and this is a constant issue.

 

Adobe  Acrobat Pro DC 20.009.20074

 

Thanks!

Hi Charlotteh

 

We are sorry for the trouble.  As described Adobe Acrobat is not responding on Mac 10.14.6 (Mojave)

 

What is the workflow/steps you are doing that leads you to not responding state of Adobe Acrobat or is it not responding randomly?

 

What is the version of the Adobe Acrobat you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Adobe Acrobat and make sure you have the latest version installed. Go to Help > Check for Updates. For more information about latest versions, please take a look at the help page https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/index.html

 

Also, please try to update the Mac to the new OS version (Catalina) and see if that helps.

 

You may also try to reset the Adobe Acrobat preferences to default as described https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-default/td-p/4792082  and see if that makes any difference.

 

You may also refer to the steps provide in the help article https://helpx.adobe.com/in/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-mac.html 

 

Keep us posted with the results

 

Regards

Amal

Before you give me the link to a post that says to use the Cleaner Tool and reinstall, I have already done so.
