I am getting the "fetching certificate revocation list from http://crl.adobe.com/cds.crl, press ESC to cancel" pop up message. Nothing works to clear this message and Adobe freezes up. I've tried to find answers in past forums. I've tried the security settings change suggestions, etc. I'm using Windows 7 and have Adobe Reader XI-version 11.0.23. How do I fix this permanently??
Hello Reesetibm,
We're sorry for the trouble you had with Adobe Reader, there is a setting under Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager > Automatic Updates > Load trusted root certificates, make sure that this box is selected.
You may also try the suggestion from Adobe Reader DC crashes for certified PDF's
Try repairing Adobe Reader from help>repair installation, reboot the machine after repair. If the issue still persists, remove Adobe Reader using Acrobat cleaner tool Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

Reboot the machine and install the latest version of Adobe Reader from Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution
Adobe Reader 11 is old and out of support product and the security updates and patches are not available and this may be the reason you are getting the error message.
install the latest version of Adobe Reader and check.
let us know how it goes and share your observation.
Thanks,
Anand Sri.

I started having this problem with my Adobe Acrobat Pro this week,"fetching certificate revocation list pop up message. Program freezes when I try anything. I have to 'task manager' and shut program down every time.

I am having the same issues with my Adobe Pro. Sometimes it will work good for awhile and then there are times where you cannot do a thing. Today is one of those days.

Mee too. Having the same pop-up window about certificate list, then Acrobat tries to connect to ocsp.digicert.com and freeezes. Because of comapny firewall, I cannot update these sites in Preferences.
