Same problem here, on Windows 10.  It's not OS related!  Come on, Adobe, how incompetent can you possibly be that you can't make a PDF reader that simply works after 28 years?  How do you still manage to make Acrobat worse with every version?

Hi Sarun,

 

Thank you for reaching out and sorry for the trouble.

 

As you are using the Windows 7, would like to inform you that the latest version of Reader DC is not tested on this OS. Windows 7 is an old version and support for this version has been drooped.

 

I would suggest you to update the OS to window service pack 1 or above. Then check if you can open the PDF.

Please let us know if the issue occurs to some particular PDFs or with any PDF. 

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi
