Adobe Acrobat Reader CRASHES when I try to print

Report · Jan 22, 2020

I just started having an issue last week where after I open up a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and I select print, it crashes and shuts down completely. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, got a solution?

Hi there,

We are sorry for the trouble. As described the application crashes on printing.

Is this a behavior with a specific PDF or all the PDFs that you try to print? Please try printing a different PDF file and check.

What is the version of the Acrobat Reader installed? and OS. Make sure you have the latest version 19.21.20061 installed. Go to Help > Check for Updates

Also try repairing the installation (For Windows only) Go to Help > Repair Installation

You may also try the steps provided in the help articles below:

Hi ChristianJoy

Thanks for sharing the information. Would you mind sharing the exact version of the Windows OS you are using?

Please check for any pending updates for printer drivers and firmware and try updating them and see if that works for you. If it doesn't work, try to remove the printer driver and firmware and try reinstalling and check.

If it still doesn't work, please collect the crash logs (https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/collect-logs-crash-freeze.html) and upload them to the document cloud (https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/home/) generate the link and share the link with us for further investigation.
