PFD file shuts down automatically after 10 sec, had this issue a while back and was given a patch file fix but now it's doing it again. How can I get a new patch? And this is ridiculous, why does this keep happening! Huge inconvenience to work day.

Crash or freeze

Hi,

I had the same problem, the SOLUTION that worked for me was to install the "creative cloud desktop" from the Adobe website.

Once installed it solved the problem.

Hope it helps.

Thanks

I downloaded it too and it still gives me this message. Did you do anything else after installing it?

I tried many of the suggestions here. None worked. But when I started Adobe XI and quickly clicked Help --> Check for updates, it stopped closing and has worked (so far) ever since. When I clicked Check for Updates, nothing happened, except the program stayed open, and has done so ever since.

Multiple people in our organization are facing this issue to. Stays open for sometime and then shuts down.

Have tried removing the Enable protect mode. That does not seem to work. This started randomly about a week ago

I am facing this issue too. When I open a PDF file, it closes automatically after around ten seconds. No solution for this yet?

I have same problem with you from yesterday.

No error message when the document is shutting down.

Only 10sec is allowed to see files.

Hello Jeockl,

We're sorry for the trouble you had with Adobe Reader, please reboot the machine once and navigate to Adobe Reader's preferences from Edit>Preferences>Security(Enhanced)>and try disabling 'Enable Protected Mode at startup'>Click OK and restart the application and check.

Note: disabling the Protected Mode is only for testing purpose, please enable it back.

Are you on Windows machine or Mac and what it the version installed?

What is the version of Adobe Reader installed, to identify, refer to Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

If security software is installed, for testing purpose, please disable it, reboot the machine and check.

If you have any third party plug-ins for Adobe Reader installed, please disable it, reboot the machine and check.

Also, collect the log files from the above-shared method by Ayush Jain of the machine on which Adobe Reader is crashing and share it by direct/private message. Use Adobe Send feature to upload the log files and share the link in direct/private message. How Do I Send Private Message

For testing purpose,

Create a test user profile with full admin rights, install Adobe Reader from Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution and check the functionality.

Let us know how it goes and share your observation.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

Hi,

I would request you to kindly share the Crash dumps when Reader Crashes for you.

Here is how you can collect the crash dump :

When Reader Crashes (If you get this error message "Adobe Reader has stopped working") , Can you please share with us the Crash Logs .

For Getting the Crash Logs:

When Acrobat Reader Crashes , Open Windows Task Manager
-> Got To Processes, There you can see a process "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC" / AcroRd32.exe
Right Click on this process and click "Create Dump File"
Dump file will be created in the Temp folder of user (as specified on the dialog you get after creating dump files).
Save this DMP file on any Cloud Storage and Share the link for that with us on mail at ajain@adobe.com

We will try to analyze your issue on priority once you share this information with us.

Thanks,

Ayush Jain

From the looks of it, they weren't referring to the marked answer. They were referring to one of the many other suggestions above (and although the person that says it doesn't work mentions Adobe, he isn't marked as a staff member so take that however you want I guess). Other identified staff member have sent people with this issue there much more recently.
