Hello @Melissa5DDE!

 

I hope you are doing well, and we apologize for the delayed response and the trouble.

 

Please ensure you have the latest version of Acrobat installed on the machine: 25.001.20432 Planned update, Mar 11, 2025. Check for any pending updates from the Menu > help > check for updates, install the updates, restart the app and the machine, and check. For more information, see this: https://adobe.ly/4bGls6u.

 

If the issue persists, please try the suggestions and let us know how it goes:

 

  • Open Acrobat and navigate to Preferences > Security (Enhanced). Uncheck the "Run in AppContainer" option, then restart Acrobat.

  • If the issue persists, try running the app in Compatibility Mode:

    • Right-click the Acrobat icon and select Properties.
    • Go to the Compatibility tab.
    • Check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows 8 from the dropdown.
    • Click Apply, then OK.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

 

This is a known issue to our engineering team and is being worked on. As a workaround, please try to turn off the Assistive technology.

 

Go to Preferences (Ctrl,Cmd+K) > Accessibility and uncheck “Enable assistive technology support,” then restart Adobe Acrobat and check if that works for you.

 

Let us know how it goes.

Hi @Melissa5DDE ,

Apologies that you are facing the issue.
Has the issue started happening recently after any updates from Acrobat or Windows?
Is it happening for all files?

Hello, it's happening for all pdf files that I open or print.  I recently got a new laptop and it is happening on that laptop.
