Acrobat 9 crashes

I have downloaded Acrobat 9.0 and installed on my harddrive. When trying to start program I get this error-message: "Runtime Error!
Program C:\Programfiler\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
Abnormal program termination"
I have tried to repair in setup-menu. Then tried to uninstall, and then a new install. Same error.
Destiller is starting ok, so it is only the main program.

  • Why does Acrobat crash every time I try to organize form fields?

    I am working on an 18 page pdf that was created in InDesign. I am copying and pasting fields from an existing document to retain importability. Every time I drag a field to a new location in the field menu, Acrobat crashes. Any idea how to fix this? My software is up-to-date, and I am working on a Retina display MacBook Pro hooked up to a Thunderbolt display. I have had nothing but issues with Acrobat since upgrading to Creative Cloud. I know that there were issues a few months ago with Acrobat & the Retina display MBPs....does this have anything to do with that?

    As a test, try the following preferences:
    Acrobat > Preferences > Forms > Automatically adjust tab order when modifying fields [Deselect]
    and:
    Acrobat > Preferences > Forms > Show field preview when creating or editing form fields [Deselect]
    So deselect if either are selected. No guarantees, but it's something to try.

  • Acrobat crashes when closing a document.

    I have developed a simple Acrobat Addin, which adds a menu item and a toolbar button. The active document will be closed when this menu item or toolbar button is clicked.The document is closed using the function "AVDocClose".
    Acrobat crashes when AVDocClose is invoked from toolbar button and works fine when invoked from menu item. This happens only when "Show each document in its own window" is checked and in the version 8.0 Professional. Works fine in 7.0. The crash has occured in Acrobat.dll.
    Is this crash a known Acrobat issue in 8.0?
    OS : Windows XP
    Thanks,
    Partha

    The only  plug-ins installed are the default ones that came installed with Acrobat.  All of these are developed by Adobe, so i'm assuming your are not referring to these as "3rd party".  All custom plug-ins have been uninstalled with the exception of the Stamper sample to test this theory.  Quite literally this can be reproduced by adding  the following code to the "ToolActivate" method in StamperUI.cpp.  This is the method that is wired into both the MenuItem and Button click events by default in this sample.  When this code is executed by a MenuItem event, no issue at all.  When this code is executed by a button click event, an exception is thrown from Acrobat.exe.  Note that the exception is not thrown from the ToolActivate method, it is thrown at some point after this method completes.
    AVDoc avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
    if (avDoc != NULL)
    AVDocClose(avDoc, true);
    As you can see, no objects are being acquired in this code.  If AVDocClose is not executed, no issues at all.  Although that goes against what i am attempting to do (as a result of a Button click, i need to be able to close the AVDoc).
    Any thoughts as to root cause of this issue?
    Karl, i really appriciate your assistance!  Thanks.

  • Acrobat crashes whenever adding text

    This occurs whether there is a text box to be filled in or using the add text function. There may be other things also crashing it but this is the biggest issue for me on my Mac host system. If I open the same documents in a Windows VM using Reader, I can enter text without difficulty.

    I'm having a similar issue. Every third or fourth time I save after adding text Acrobat crashes with no meaningful reason (at least none in the crash message)...even though the added text is saved. I'm working through trying different text settings to see if there is a problem there. I'll post what I find.

  • Acrobat crashes when extracting pages

    Version Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.12
    When extracting and emailing pages from a pdf multiple times, Acrobat crashes.  Here is the process:
    1. Open pdf
    2. Tools -> Pages -> Extract
    3. Select any number of pages -> delete after extracting -> Yes at prompt
    4. In the extracted page(s) pdf, Share -> Send Files -> Attach to Email -> Attach
    5. Default email app opens -> Send email
    6. Close extracted page(s) pdf without saving.
    7. Go back to original pdf
    8. Try to repeat steps 1-6.
    The Acrobat crashes every time at step 4 on the 2nd extraction and email.  As soon as the share button is pressed (or using File -> Attach to Email), Acrobat crashes with the below error code.
    I have tried multiple different pdfs from different sources (i.e. downloaded from the web, scanned from a printer, generated from a word doc, etc.) as well updating Acrobat, uninstalling and re-installing (using the cleaner tool in between) and repairing install.  The issue happens on multiple machines, all running Win 7 Pro, and there are no add ins installed.

  • Acrobat Crashes when converting PDF to .png

    I've been having a problem for a while now. I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8.1 Pro and when I try to convert PDF to .png, acrobat crashes. It doesnt let me do it and I´ve been trying with different documents. Anyone with the same problem? It would help me a lot if you have a solution. Thanks

    Hey,
    You might try reducing the size of the PDF file and then convert to .png.
    Also, please check for updates for Acrobat 8 and try repairing.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Acrobat crashing with DeviceN

    Acrobat crashes when I try and print, my crop marks are set to DeviceN? Is that no longer supported? We have tried 8, 9, X both on Mac and PC.

    I uploaded, but I am not sure how to "share".  Here is a link to our file transfer system that will allow you to open the PDF.

    Anyone an idea?

    Hi everybody,
    I got an idea for a workaround myself - to answer my own question:
    Create an extra view object attribute. Let's name it E_IS_NULL. The corresponding SQL column is a DECODE based on column E as illustrated below:
    ..DECODE(E, NULL, 'Y', 'N') E_IS_NULL ...
    Then I can define that attribute with search allowed - and users can query records where that column is 'Y'.
    Best regards,

  • Acrobat crashed and i lost all document level javascript

    Hi, while working with acrobat professional 9 i got an error messages and acrobat crashed. I had 300 lines of javascript code on document level and after i reopened the pdf document it wasn't there even though i had been saving the document many time before the error ccurred. Any idea how can i retrieve that javascript back? And why did it all disappear?

    Thank you very much for your reply but I already tried this and it didn't work. I will try to review all the sites visited over several months of which these tabs were accumulated . What a big hassle. I do notice that Firefox has crashed fairly often . Its just in the past I was able to retrieve my open tabs. I may go back to Internet Explorer. Thanks again for you help.

  • 3rd party plugins make Acrobat Crash

    Hello, I am running Windows 7. When I install Third Party Plugins into the plugins folder, Acrobat crashes 20-30 seconds after it opens. I have tried this with Acrobat Pro 9, Acrobat Pro XI and Reader X. Always I get the same result. HELP!

    Hi controls guy,
    You need to check with the developer of these 3rd party plugins as to what might be causing the crash.

  • Adobe Acrobat crashes repeatedly on my iMac

    I work a LOT with PDFs. I literally have thousands and thousands of articles. Why is it that either when I open a PDF on my iMac, Acrobat crashes or after the PDF has been open for a few minutes, the program crashes. This directly affects my ability to work and it affects my ability to work in a timely manner and meet deadlines. Ps, this is Adobe Acrobat through Creative Cloud.

    Hi Rahul,
    I've just had the program crash 4 times in the space of 10 minutes. And
    there is no rhyme or reason in terms of which files I'm working off or how
    long. I could download a brand new PDF and the program crashes. I could
    open an old PDF I've had and it crashes. I could be working for 3 hours
    before a crash and then it starts crashing every 2-3 minutes. I could be
    working for 5 minutes and it'll start crashing. Basically, this program
    sucks so badly but I have no other option because I work with literally
    tens of thousands of PDFs. I lose hours of work to this and it impacts my
    deadlines and my bottom line. It also makes me look bad when material that
    should have been highlighted for fact checking isn't highlighted because
    the program crashed on me and lost every single thing I was working on and
    I don't have the time or capacity to redo my work multiple times.
    There is a specific error message but I will have to wait until the next
    time to see what it says and then I will copy and paste it for you.

  • Acrobat crashes when I try to print...

    Hi,
    running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 on a Mac OS 10.5.5 I can open and work with documents fine but when I hit 'print' this causes an instant crash.
    I suspect it's to do with the processing of the postscript data.
    Any ideas?

    It could be Acrobat's way of telling you its time to upgrade OR it could
    be something as simple as re-installing the printer driver. If
    re-installing the printer driver doesn't work, try to reset the printer
    subsystem. This removes all traces of every printer.

  • Adobe Acrobat Crashes - Cant access Preferences/Convert from PDF

    Hello all, Ive googled this for days but cant find a fix ...
    I have an Xserve running Server 10.7.5.  Application I am having problems with is Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
    When I try to access a Preference for changing the way the app converts pdfs to a postscript file, the app freezes and crashes ...
    Some of the log is here ...

    I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled the Creative Suite CS4 Apps and still get the same crash ...
    I have another machine with similar specs and it does not crash ... Weird !
    I have allso tried changing users to see if its user based, but looks like a system thing to me ...
    Any ideas peeps ?  Any assistance appreciated !
    Mitch

    If anyone has a similar issue I found this on the Adobe forums where a similar crash was occurring on printing in Creative Suite 4 ...
    To avoid this crash  try this workaround.
    remove adobe PDF PPD from the following folders:
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
    I have removed the ppd's folders (although retaining the en.lproj folder seems to be OK) ... per above and now I do not crash when accessing the preference I need to get to.

  • Acrobat crashes when creating a PDF from a web page

    Whenever I ask Acrobat to create a PDF from a web page, it crashes halfway through the process.  Here is an example from the BBC:-
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19585341
    Printing to PDF from the browser does not produce an accurate document.  The font is too big, and most of the pictures do not appear.
    I use Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.4.
    This is a PC problem.  On the Mac it works.

    The problem I mentioned is peculiar to Acrobat 10 and also to my PC.  On a Mac I can create PDF's from webpages normally.
    I also notice that when printing to PDF from Opera only the first page comes out.  (Using Firefox all pages are printed to PDF.)

  • Acrobat crashes when I try to Create PDF from Web Page

    I'm running version 9.3.4 of Adobe Acrobat Pro, on Windows XP version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600. Recently the company I work for created a new website, and I'm supposed to capture it as a PDF every week. But since the change in site, every time I run acrobat to capture the site (5 levels down, staying on the same path), the program crashes after 30 pages. Can anyone offer any advice on what I can do to correct this?
    The site apparently uses a content management system called Wordpress. Wordpress uses many plug-ins that use jquery and javascript.

    Hi miketayber,
    We would love to help, but need to know a bit more to get to the root of the problem. Please tell us:
    What version of Acrobat are you using
    What operating system you're on
    Whether you've been able to scan previously
    What you're scanning to (do you have the latest drivers?)
    Is there an error message or number associated with the crash?
    We look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara
