White Blank Pop up dialogue boxes (Save As, Apply Redactions, any thing)

My adobe acrobat dc pro got updated to the latest version 21.007.20091 and I WISH I could undo it. Now I can't get anything done in Adobe because everytime I try to save as or apply redactions or do basically anything, I get a blank white pop up box and grey background screen. It only goes away when I press ESC. This is driving me mad. I'm logged in and do this all the time. Just since the update 9/14 it hasn't been working. Screen shot included.Capture.JPG

I'm having the exactly the same issue.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, I've got all the updates and I'm at a loss.  I can't actually do my work!

What was the solution to this problem?

I still ran into this issue with vs 2021.007.20099. Tried to update, but I was on the most current. I had to close out of the app and close out of all of the processes that were running. Then it started to work.

Can someone point me to where this patch is located?  I checked for updates, but I'm up to date on my updates and I'm still getting the white screen of inaction whenever I try to redact a .pdf.

I don't know if this is a long term fix, but this worked for me just now.  Found this on another thread.  I didn't lose any of my recent files as is mentioned below, but the white window popped up and actually had info on removing metadata and then it applied the redaction and saved it.  It's a Christmas miracle!!

 

I have been having this problem for months. I ended up updating Adobe. Then I hit ctrl+alt+del and "end tasked" each instance of Adobe, Adobe installer, Adobe CEF helper, and CEF and restarted Adobe. All my recent files disappeared but the redact, save as, and signing works again!

I am having the same issue - when I start looking at a docuement the white box popos up with a red scrolling circle. The only way to get rid of it is to use Task Manager to close the programme. I have deleted the app and used the cleanup tool and reinstalled, but it is still happening. I cannot find what I should do, please help

Please help, the same thing keeps happening to me.  I can't get my work done!  I've chatted with Adobe twice, was told it was the latest update.  Uninstalled most recent version and reinstalled an older version.  Worked for a few redactions then started again.  I have unchecked the the box "show online storage when saving files" under the General category.  I don't have time to waste applying redactions to a multiple-page document only to have to start all over again.  Please help!

Same problem here, too, but after uninstalling and reinstalling the application and updating to the latest version, the problem is intermittent -- specifically, it usually fails when I need it the most.

 

A solution would really be helpful, guys.

Curiously, the problem reappeared after rebooting my computer. I tracked it back to the "Show online storage when saving files" setting in Edit > Preferences > General > Basic Tools. Somehow, Acrobat reset this to the default after rebooting. I unchecked that setting again and everything is functioning again.

Sunil, I tried downloading the private build you linked in your private e-mail, but I get the message "You are not authorized to view the file".

 

I tried responding to your e-mail, but your mailbox is full.

 

And I don't have quite the same registry key you described, but my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\Installer registry entry does contain a CEF_DIR value. Is that the CEF installation directory where you want the private build installed?

 

Please send me the private build for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 32-bit.

Sunil, unfortunately the private build did not help. I am still getting the blank dialog box when I try to send a document for signatures using Adobe Sign.

 

Can you suggest any other solutions?
