Adobe Reader DC freezes when highlighting

[chaval11637214]

Having the same problem here. Not only does Adobe freeze, but I am then unable to save or quit, and the only way to proceed is to force-quit from the task manager. It is fairly recently installed, so I don't imagine it's an update issue. Please advise.

Hi Chaval,

As the application freezes while highlighting the text in PDF, did you check if it happens with a particular PDF or with all?

Could you please let us know the version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installed on your machine?

Try once removing the application from your machine using the cleaner tool Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs.

Relaunch the machine and then download the installer file from here Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

Check if that helps.

I am having the exact same issue.  Plus, when I go to download the cleaner tool, I am unable to check the box and proceed.  HELP!

I was able to remove the program and reinstall.  No change.  It still freezes when highlighting.
