Hi jeffreyl47123360,
Assuming you are able to access Acrobat Reader's options, could you please let me know the version of Reader installed on the machine?
To check the version, launch Reader>click on Help menu>select About Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
When you are getting this error- when launching Reader or when trying to open a pdf in Reader?
