I have the full Creative Cloud program and have all apops loaded on my machine.  I prefer to use the hard drive cvs the cloud.  Anyway, I cannot click on Acrobat in the dashboard to open the program.  I can click on any other app and it opens immediately.  Acrobat will only open if I click on a saved PDF or open it from the Explorer folder.  Any ideas why this is happening?

reset the cc desktop app by making sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

Thanks for that tip. The tip basically relaunched the cloud program. This did nothing to help my issue, however. Still can't open Acrobat from the dashboard.

Good day.  Thanks again for your continued help on this project.  I tried to use the Acrobat cleaner you just sent.  The program indicated that it could not find the app on the computer, but I ran it anyway.  After reboot, I ran the REPAIR program in the CC Uninstaller again.  CC Desktop STILL shows that Acrobat is loaded and works on this device!!  URGH!!  Any other ideas?  Should I go to Adobe and have them do the work for me via remote?  I see that a couple of people have had success with that option.  Now I am into the work week and losing production time playing with this.  I guess I will have to use the online Acrobat to keep moving forward.  Assuming it will let me.  Thanks again!
