Acrobat reader does not work anymore. I have reinstalled but it does not work. It closes down leaving this report to apple.

I have the same issue since a week ago. when I open a .pdf file it stays open and the quit after 10 seconds. I run El capitan 10.11.6 . I have reinstalled  Acrobat readera a few times but in vain.  Any suggestions? Maybe I use wrong version. Or is this a superbug. And in that case . Is it reported?

If you installed Catalina then restored your application from a backup, you'll need to delete Reader and then install the current version. There are enough differences in Catalina that the previous install won't work.

What crash messages please? What version of Reader (not "latest")?
