The issue started after updating from Adobe Acrobat Pro X to Acrobat 10.1.2. Please note that this happens in Windows 7

The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA) is the error that is thrown back by the acrobat.exe

Any directions to how to solve this issue will be largly appreciated.

Try disabling "protected mode" under preferences...general...application startup. I had exactly the same problem and this seems to have fixed it.

Adobe: thanks for nothing. Pretty sad that in 15 minutes of experimentation I seem to have already discovered and published more useful information than you've managed in 2 months.

By the way, if you google for "acrobat protected mode [crash | problem | etc]" you'll find that this is hardly the only problem they seem to have introduced with thos lovely "feature".
