Hi Alex

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that.

What happens when you try to open the applcation? Do you get any error message? If yes, please share the screenshot of the same for a better understanding.

Please try to remove the appliation using the Acrobat Cleaner tool https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html , reboot the computer once and reinstall the application using the link https://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and check if that helps.

Also mke sure you have the application updated to its recent version 21.11.20039. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

Regards

Amal

Hi Amal

thank you so much for you reply. 

I tried everything you suggested, and the result is the same, as soon as I open Acrobat Reader, the Spinning Wait Cursor kicks in and have to force quit ( application non responding )

My OS is 10.15.7

All the best 

regards

Ale

Hi Alex

We are sorry to hear that the issue still exists.

Please try to enable the root account (MAC) https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204012 and try using the application there and check
