Hi ,

Could you please tell what software are you using ?Is it Reader or Acrobat?

Please explain the work flow ,what are you trying to do when you get this error?

What version of Reader do you use?

What OS do you work on?

Hi louiseb18346232

Try to disable Protected Mode.

Open Reader -> Edit > Preferences, choose "Security Enhanced" category and un-check "Enable Protected Mode at startup".

Check if it fixes the issue.

Thanks that eliminated the error but it still does not view the document. Im getting the following:

To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html

Hi louiseb18346232​,

Open Acrobat Reader DC, navigate to Help menu -> Check for updates & install if any.

I tried doing the updates and I also tried repairing but nothing has helped.

Hi louiseb18346232 ,

If it does not work, try uninstalling Acrobat Reader using cleaner tool Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs , restart your system.

Then try re-installing it from this link: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

If the this error comes up "There is a problem with Adobe/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (507:507)",

Then it means there is another Adobe Reader is running on the backgrond.

You need to restart the computer and try again.

Hi, I had the same error and your advice works.

I had an pdf file open in the app and I just close the document and run again and opened my document.

Thanks for the tip.
