Having trouble getting my PDF's to open. Followed some of the suggestions in the online forums and it worked for a few days and then back to the same old message. Any further suggestions?

thanks

John

If possible, create another user account and check, for Windows machine, enable the Hidden admin account, and for Mac machine, enable the root account.

If the issue persists, please share the following details:

  1. Is it Acrobat or Reader installed, check from Help>About Acrobat/Reader.
  2. Is it a Mac or Windows machine, and is it your personal or an office computer?

Hope this helps, and keep us posted with the results.
