Hello everyone, 
as soon as you want to open a link in a PDF file, the following error message appears:

We have installed the current release, this also applies to the Pro version of Adobe Acrobat. Do you have any idea why that could be?

best regards
Jan

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described after updating the application to the new version you started getting the error message about missing Adobe Plug in as shown above and the links are not opening in PDF.

 

Please try to reboot the computer once and see if that helps.

 

If it doesn't work, please try to repair the installation (Windows Only) and check . Go to Help > Repair installation and reboot the computer once.

 

You may also look at the correct answer marked in a similar discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader/error-message-quot-the-acrobat-pdf-browser-plug-in-is-missing-quot/m-p/9199483 and see if that works for you.
