When closing PDF files, Adobe crashes with the below error.  PDFs open compleltely fine...just when closing them do we have an issue.  Any ideas for a fix for this?  Have tried repairing Adobe, various setting changes within preferences, and re-activating with no luck.  Version we are on is 2020.005.30362.

 

Thank you

The error in this link doesn't match the error we are receiving.  Please advise.  Further, worth mentioning, is this is a Windows Terminal Server.  Thank you.

Have you tried the steps shared in the help page shared above. PLease try to repair the Microsoft visual C++  Redistributable and see if that works.

You may also try to remove it and reintsall from the link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Unfortunately the C++  Redistributable repair didn't resolve the issue.  The errors still persist after closing PDF documents.  No idea why this is happening.  What should I try next?  thanks.

Hi there

 

Thanks for sharing your observation. It seems to be an issue with the user profile, there isn't much that we can do in this. Please try to repair the affected user profile and see if that helps.

Well, not sure this is the answer as more than 20 profiles are having this same issue.  I don't use my profile enough to see the issue so the issue could be with my admin profile as well.

Another item I have noticed...it seems after "signing in" to Adobe Acrobat under the Help drop down that I don't get the error when closing the PDF.  By the way...this issue is happening on my admin account as I just reproduced the error.  However, since signing in I have not seen the error.  With this in mind, how do 20 plus terminal server users sign in to Adobe if the product we have purchased is a perpetual license?  My users do not have Adobe accounts to sign in with.  I can sign in under my profile but this doesn't help the other users....

Do you have 20+ licenses for Actobat 2020? I am not sure it is intended to support multiple users without sign in.

Hi @chriss84678383 

 

We have got some update from our engineering team and the issue seems to be due to the injection of Cylance dlls in AcroCEF. Please whitelist AcroCEF in Cylance to ensure that the following dlls are not injected in AcroCEF:

  • CylanceMemDef.dll (C:\Program Files\Cylance\Desktop\CylanceMemDef.dll) 
  • CyKNPHDOJQHQZ.dll  (C:\Program Files\Cylance\Desktop\CyKNPHDOJQHQZ.dll)  
  • CyNTFMIHYBLXA.dll ( C:\Program Files\Cylance\Desktop\CyNTFMIHYBLXA.dll)

This should resolve the issue.

 

In order to verify that the DLL injection issue has been fixed, you need to follow these steps:

  • Collect ProcMon logs after launching Acrobat
  • Right-click on AcroCEF.exe
  • You can see the loaded dlls in the Process tab
  • CylanceMemDef.dll, CyKNPHDOJQHQZ.dll and CyNTFMIHYBLXA.dll should not be present in this list.

 

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Regards

Amal

Hi @chriss84678383 

 

Please confirm if the issue got fixed after following the steps shared and whitelisting The AcroCEF in Cylance to ensure that the dlls are not injected in AcroCEF.

 

Let us know if you are still experiencing the issue .
