Hi Marziya,

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As mentioned, you are getting the pop up from User Account Control.

“Do you want the following programs to make changes to this computer'' everytime you open the PDF file.

Please try the following steps a suggested below and see if that makes any difference:

1. Right click on the Adobe Acrobat icon on your desktop.

2. Go to Properties.

3. Under 'Compatibility' uncheck 'Run as administrator' > Click Apply > OK
