Latest Reader Hangs when opening any pdf with 'tools' selected

Any pdf will hang when opened in the latest Acrobat Reader (Either from file or open Acrobar Reader first.)
However if I first open Reader and turn off the tools (Tools top right) I can then open any pdf without problems.
Users who want to have the tools bar open are querying this.
Can anyone help.
Windows 7 64 bit systems.

Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Error when opening =any= PDF with Reader

Hi! Since installing the new Reader software, I keep getting the same error message whenever I try to open =any= PDF, from those on my system for some time to those just downloaded.
The error message says:
Attempt to access invalid address
I can open any PDF with Sumatra or Foxit, so it's not in the file...

Hi Bruce,
Are you using EMET Antivirus? I have seen the issue caused due to this. Try disabling it and check.
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

Adobe Reader crashes when opening any PDF

Hi raptorsama,
Is there any specific error that comes?
You might need to navigate to ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader'', then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.
If this does not work, then follow these standard steps as given below:
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 (Ref: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services
(Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
> Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check
You can also go for a repair option by selecting 'Repair Adobe Reader Installation' option under the Help menu.

Adobe reader XI crash and hangs when open the pdf file

What kind of advertisement? In Adobe Reader? Can you post a screenshot of that: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
Regarding the crash, can you try disabling Protected Mode through the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/49eeb48b-07c5-4502-984c-8a25259914fa

Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

Pat. Thanks for your promote reply. I have resolved the issue.
Closing the tools pane at the right side:
open Adobe Reader without opening a PDF file
collapse 'Tools' pane
then open some PDF
It shouldn't hang anymore

I can't open any pdf with Adobe Reader XI, neither online or offline - OS X

Since I've upgraded to Acrobat Reader XI I'm not able to open any pdf file.
I can't open any .PDF already existing in my Mac and also can't open anything online throughout browser (I use Safari and Chrome)
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader over and over again and it has no improving.
I've tried to install an older version and still doesn't work.
All my problems started with the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI.
As you can imagine I really need to be able to open pdf through browser, that's my biggest concern.
I'll attach the error message that appears on the screen.

Hi a.vouga,
Are you still facing this issue.
If yes, i would suggest you may create a new user profile and install Reader again and check.

Acrobat pauses when opening any pdf

Figured I would open this again since the previous post was marked as answered....and the problem persists.
Acrobat pauses for 30 seconds after I open any pdf. It will bring up the document, but I cannot do anything with it, like zoom, scroll, or even highligh buttons. If I click on anything, the menu bar will white out. After ~30 seconds, the menu bar goes back to normal and everything works perfectly. If I have Acrobat already open and then open a file, I usually do not have this problem. If I open a file holding down the shift key it still pauses. I can create pdf's no problem and have no other errors, just the pause on opening.
I have Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.3.0 and all the updates. I have tried repairing the install. Removing and uninstalling and no change. Running on a Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 1GB ram, Win XP. No other problems with the computer. This is just really frustrating when opening a lot of files searching for something. Thanks for any help.
No change when "Use 2D Graphics acceleration" checked or unchecked.
I had been using Acrobat 8 Pro and did not have any problems with it.

I am having the exact same issue... it's so frustrating! Does anyone have a solution to this?
Running CS4 on a Core i7 workstation w/ Win 7 64-bit, latest BIOS and video card drivers (ATI Radeon 4890). Acrobat is version 9.3 with all updates. It freezes for 30 seconds just as described, every single time you launch it.

Apparently it is the update from 9.0.0 to 9.3.0 that is causing this.
No update, no problems.

Errors when opening any PDF file

Can't find a bytecode file to load.
InitializeFormsTrackerJS is not defined

ReferenceError: InitializeFormsTrackerJS is not defined

From the Javascript console I get the above whenever I open any PDF file from Acrobat XI Pro.
I'm at version 11.0.7.
Where is the source of this problem ?
A search for InitializeFormsTrackerJS shows no hits in the Javascript folder.

The folder is Acrobat\Javascripts

Hang when opening multiple pdfs: Reader 10.0.1 (Win Server 2008 x64 SP2)

I have recently updated Adobe Reader to the latest patch update 10.0.1.
Previous to this update, I was able to open multiple pdfs at once and had no issues with the Adobe Reader software. After updating to 10.0.1 I've noted that when I attempt to open more than one pdf at a time, Reader hangs (Windows indicates a "Not Responding" error has occurred). After a series of minutes, the second (or third, fourth etc) file opens, and Reader appears to function as per normal..
I'm running Adobe Reader 10.0.1 on a Windows Server 2008 x64 (SP2) box, and didn't have this issue with the 10.0.0 release..
Does anyone else share this issue, and if so, is there an update planned to solve the issue? I would also be happy to provide more diagnostics/specs if these will provide info for developers to chase down the issue here..

I also have Reader 10.0.1 (Win 7 Home Premium x32). I can open several large PDFs (including one over 100 MiB) satisfactorily and then have the whole thing hang. As I am trying to work with these documents, I have not been patient enough to wait for minutes. I just have to terminate Reader and relaunch it.
I have removed some of my DLLs to stop Reader wasting my time preparing a long document for reading, which I do not need . (It would really help if Adobe would provide a setting to turn this off, instead of my having to hack it. )
I never had any similar problems with Reader 9. Did anyone test Reader X before releasing it? I have read elsewhere that turning Protected Mode off may help but...

Adobe Reader does not open any PDF when double clicked

I am using a Mac with Yosemite. When I double click a PDF to open it, it will not open. The only way it will open is right clik PDF/Open With/Applications/Adobe Reader app. or right click PDF/Quick Look. Thanks funnnyfarm

It worked. I don't see why the Protected Mode is enabled in the first place, if it were to cause issues.
Anyways, thanks Sabian,

Firefox hangs when opening any context menu - save as, download window, options window, etc

this is the third time i've had this problem with firefox...
firefox hangs when trying to download images, files, etc. the right click context menu opens (with bookmark, save page, save image, etc options) but after selecting an option, save image or whatever, the actual save as dialogue box doesn't open and firefox locks up.
many pages say to open the download pane and clear the history... i can't do that as trying to open the download pane locks it up, too. as does trying to open any other dialogues.
the first time this happened the only solution i could find was a total wipe and re-install (simple uninstall/re-install didn't work... it had to be weeded out of the registry manually).
the second time i just happened to be rebuilding my system, so i just did a fresh install on a fresh OS.
this time i can't seem to resolve the problem with uninstall and re-install...
help?

found out what was doing it!
after trying firefox safe mode and windows safe mode and any number of other things i'd kinda given up for a bit there, but i woke from a dream in the middle of the night thinking "based on the behaviour involved it *must* be something in the shell that's causing this." (sorry, i dream in geek.)
so i grabbed a shell viewer editor - ShelleExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) (had to use an icky, lesser browser to be able to download it) and gave it a run.
i listed all the extensions by the date they were added as a clsid and tried to think back to when the problem began... about a month or so after a fresh system reinstall. and through a little trial and error disabling i found the culprit.
it was an icon overlay handler put in by something called WagerLogic. after looking into the company name i'm going to have to assume this was related to one of the annoying "come lose real money at our virtual casino" pop-ups that infest the net nefariously panning for an easy mark like dickensian orphans.
i disabled it et voila! firefox is back to full function again.

Adobe Reader does not open any PDF when double clicked/hit enter once.

Adobe Reader 11 does not open when I double click/hit enter on a PDF document. I need to hit enter multiple times to open a document once. This ends up creating multiple AcroRd32.exe.
It's very annoying that I need to hit enter multiple times even to open a single PDF file.
This is how my task manager looks, even after closing any opened PDF file.
I've tried re-installing adobe reader multiple times, but same issue recurs again and again.
Please help.
Thanks,

How do I stop my Reader version 11.0.1 from crashing when opening any PDF file?

I've had this problem since yesterday and it started very suddenly but now I cannot view any of my files because the reader crashes after a few seconds. I cannot use the app at all, please help!
The files I'm trying to view on my reader are not new, meaning that they used to work just fine without causing the reader to crash. So I don't think that is the problem.
I've also already checked that I have plenty of space on my iPad so the problem shouldn't be related to memory either.
The next step, I guess, would be to remove and reinstall the app but then I'll lose all my neatly organized files.
The reader is version 11.0.1 and my iOS is version 7.0.4.
I'd appreciate any help I can get because this app is what I mainly use my iPad for and, as I said, now it's not working at all.

Try resetting your iPad: Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time. Keep holding them down until you see the Apple logo, then let go. Reopen Reader.
