Hello, On both my PCs at work and at home Acrobat reader DC started crashing with all kind of pdf files after a few minutes of work.

What's the problem?

Thank you very much!

    I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and installed Adobe Reader from the

    App store. I can read .pdf's now.

    Hi iacopoa54188709,

    Could you please let me know the version of Reader installed on the computers?

    Which Operating System you have on the machine?

    Do you see any error message when Reader crashes?

    I don't know... DC.ink? could it be?

    I have windows 10 on my PC and at work... I don't know...

    Something seems to be opened (like a message) but then it's hidden and I can't see the message. But that locks Adobe reader and I can't keep working

    Did it, it's even worst than before... and the point is that this is happening in 2 very different PCs... what's the matter with the programm?it always perfectly worked for me....
