Adobe won't launch

[berenicep76341989]

Opening a PDF attachment in an email, Adobe will not launch.  Uninstall Adobe Reader DC and re-install.  Then it works perfectly for about a week and then does the same thing again.  I am continually having to uninstall and re-install.  Who can help with this problem?

Hi ,

Sorry for the issue that you are facing while using Adobe Acrobat Reader.

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:

a.      When Acrobat Reader Crashes , Open Windows Task Manager

b.      -> Got To Processes, There you can see a process "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC" / AcroRd32.exe

c.      Right Click on this process and click "Create Dump File"

d.      Dump file will be created in the Temp folder of user (as specified on the dialog you get after creating dump files).

e.      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

Thanks, I don’t get a message at all, it just won’t launch. Click on the shortcut and nothing happens. Click on the PDF attachment… nothing happens. Nothing appears in the task manager as it is not running.

Sorry if I am being dense but none of the links take me to a download. The first one takes me to notes and second two to forums with our discussion on. Cannot see a download link anywhere?

PS: I cannot check for updates in the application as it does not open!
