Is there a new link for that Acrobat Cleaner tool? That link just goes to a error 404 page.

Hello Community,

I have Adobe Acobat installed across multiple PCs using Win7 and Win10.

All PCs regularly show Not Responding when opening pdfs or trying to print.

This is an absolute rubbish app.

Used to work perfectly including the copy function long since deleted.

Rebooting, reloading etc etc- how much time do you need to waste???

I pay for this crap!

I have a yearly subscription with Adobe.  Adobe Reader was working fine:  editing, converting pdf to Microsoft Word.  Today, it stopped responding, I keep getting ads about Adobe pro (7 days free trial), and doesn't allow me to work.

Hello Community using Adobe reader with all the listed issues and downgraded performance, not responding, not searching etc etc.

I have downloaded the free FOXIT and this is an instant response app, which searches instantly showing a trail etc etc, lots that adobe doesn't do and it's free,

Adobe reader is now my last choice for pdf reading!

thanks Adobe
