Blank Adobe Acrobat opens when I open Chrome

New Here ,
Sep 01, 2025 Sep 01, 2025

When opening Google Chrome, it automatically opens a blanck instance of Adobe Acrobat (outside of Chrome) I've changed settings in Chrome to not Automatically open but it keeps popping up.

 

All searched tell you to change preferences to stop a pdf automatically opening, but this isn't the case, there's no pdf opening, just the program itself.

 

Any tips would be appreciated.


Cheers

Me too- I just uninstalled the Acrobat plugin, which seems to be working- but clearly not a great solution. It also keeps giving me memory errors (i've plenty RAM and Harddrive space.) I've been condidering switching browsers as a result.

Have you reinstalled the plugin to see if the fresh install helped? I really don't want to get rid of the plugin as I use it so often. It must be a problem with an update for it to just happen all of a sudden, so I'm hoping they will fix it soon!

I just resolved this by completing the following steps:

 

  1. Updated to latest version of Chrome
  2. Updated Acrobat
  3. Rebooted my computer

 

No more blank Acrobat window when I open Chrome!
