When I click on the screen, noise appears.

If I change the zooming, it will disappear.

But if I click on the screen again, noise will be shown again.

Hi there, 

 

Thanks for sharing the observation. Mkae sure all the video drivers and the firmware are up to date. 

 

Also, please try to turn off the protected view for testing purpose. Go to Edit  > Preferences > Enhanced Security > Turn Off the protected view and uncheck the Enhanced Security > click OK and reboot the computer and check.

 

Let us know if that makes any difference

Hi Amal,

I have just seen a post from MarkInFL with a solution that worked for me. This is from his post:  

 

"In Windows 10 64bit, I was also experiencing the blackened imaging, pixelating, etc., when I clicked on the .pdf image.
I also tried everything others tried. Here is the fix:
Right-click on your Acrobat Reader DC icon on the desktop or navigate to the AcroRd32.exe file in this folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader

Choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility." Tell the troubleshoo

Hey, so far nothing worked for me either, but then I did this:

  1. right click on Acrobat Reader
  2. choose properties
  3. choose compatibility tab
  4. choose windows 7
  5. click apply

Hope it will work for you

Hi Amal. Thank you for your reply.

This behavior occours for every PDF.

And I updated latest version now, but sitll happened.

 

> Would you mind sharing the exact workflow or steps you are doing?

I just installed Adobe Reader DC.

But I think I had been using with no problem before.

It happened suddenly.
I'm not sure the cause is from Windows update or DC update.
FYI, my OS is Japanese version.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for sharing the details. Would you mind sharing the procmon logs and a sample file with us for further  investigation?

 

Download the process monitor tool here (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon) run the process monitor tool and then open the PDF file to reproduce the issue and collect the log files and share them through private message. 

 

Click on the message icon on the top right corner of the screen to start the private message with us.

Hi There!

 

I am having the same issues.  When I open a document it looks fine, if I click into it, it turns "mosaic", unreadable and un-editable. 

 

I have tried all the suggestions above, and still having issues.  When I uninstall and open document using Edge, it opens fine.  

 

Thanks,

Julie

Hi Vuiu,

I have just seen a post from MarkInFL with a solution that worked for me.

This is from his post:

 

"Here is the fix:
Right-click on your Acrobat Reader DC icon on the desktop or navigate to the AcroRd32.exe file in this folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader

Choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility." Tell the troubleshooter to run this program in Windows 7 compatability mode.

It now works perfectly. NOTE: AcroRd32.exe is a 32bit program -- that's why it's in the (x86) folder. For some reason, Win10 won't run it properly."

 

Please see the full post and give him a like if it helps, you can find it here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader/screen-turns-to-black-and-white-dots-using-adobe-acrob...
