Can't open pdf on Mac

So, I had the same problem and found that the windows were sized down to a bare sliver on my desktop. Once I was able to resize them, I could get in  no problem.

Finally figured out how to fix this:

1. Open one pdf file

2. Click on the 'Adobe Reader DC' icon on the task bar to show Adobe Reader on the Menu bar

3. Clicking on the 'Window' menu item and choose 'Tile'

4. then chose 'Horizontally' or 'Vertically'

5. You should be able to see the pdf file

Anyone?

I cannot launch Acrobat DC....Any sugessions, please.

I cannot open Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on my iMac. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. This issue happened at some point a few months ago as I sometimes use computers at school. Has anyone solved this yet? The Window>Cascade>File did not work for me...first of all the link only goes Window>Cascade...File is NEXT TO Window and not in the line of icons.

I just had this same issue with not being able to open any .pdf files in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on my Mac. It acted as if the file opened but wouldn't show the document or file window anywhere on the screen (making it appear as nothing happened). Strange though as I was able to view it in Full Screen mode. Another strange observation is that .pdfs would open with no problem under my husband's user profile on the same computer. Had tried making sure files were set to open with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, restarting computer, deleting & re-installing Adobe Acrobat Reader but that did nothing for me. I did as others suggested on this thread... Open some .pdf files then go to Window -> Cascade -> Tile and that worked for me, seemed to "unstick" whatever glitch is happening. So far it seems permanant as I have restarted computer several times and .pdf files are opening normally without having to go through this process. Fingers crossed!

When I open a PDF on my Mac, there is a blank gray screen. I can't see the document.  The Window -> Cascade -> Tile thing does not work for me.

I have been experiencing the same issue on my Macintosh. Periodically, Acrobat DC refuses to open ANY PDF file. My solution has been to uninstall Acrobat DC, and then reinstall.  This always solves the problem, but it is extremely annoying because Creative Cloud takes a significant amount of time to uninstall and reinstall the software – and of course, this problem never happens at a convenient time.  I would be very happy to hear that Adobe has permanently resolved this issue.

Hi kenk22709177 ,

Can you please let me know if you are still facing this issue at your end?

Alternatively , Can you please try this:

Open a few files with Acrobat, go to Window -> Cascade -> Tile and see if that brings up the PDFs.

Also let us know if you are on a dual monitor system?

Thanks,

Ayush
