Acrobat will not start

I have had acrobat pro 10 installed for 30 days and acrobat will not open, how can I fix this problem?

you are not alone...
I have a legal CS6 Master Collection and my Acrobat Pro doesn't open after Adobe updater decided it needs to 'upgrade' my Reader to the latest version.
I can't create nor edit any of my documentation anymore.
Looking for support and they tell me I'm not entitled to chat with support?!
Anyway, Adobe isn't what it use to be.
I just hope we get a patch/fix soon.

Acrobat will not start-up and mac osx and will not register

Acrobat is installed on my Mac Mini, but will not allow me to register with Adobe. Also, the same Acrobat 8 pro will not operate on my MacBook pro because it is not registered and does not recognize my serial# etc. How can I call someone at Adobe? This product is worthless to me, and I have tried everything.

Hold down the option key while starting your iMac
You should see a screen with some imagines of hard drives appear.
Press the eject key to eject the disk, then select your boot partition (likely named "Macintosh HD") and hit the return key.
If you still hear the three beeps, the computer may be unable to access its system memory. Preform the resets detailed in these articles:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
Or try as den.thed suggested if you have recently installed memory into your computer.
If your boot partition does not appear when you hold down option and "Recovery HD" also doesn't appear, or if it does not allow you to eject the disk, you may be experiencing hardware issues. Try the above resets, and if they don't work, you will need to go to your closest AASP or Apple Retail store for service.
Good luck.

Acrobat X Pro will not start

Installed Acrobat X Pro from CS6 DVD onto Win7 computer. All other programs run fine but Acrobat will not start. Clicking on the Desktop Shortcut or in the Start Menu, nothing happens. PDF files will not open. Had Adobe Reader on the computer when I installed CS6 and that opened PDF files instead of Acrobat X Pro. I uninstalled Reader in hopes Acrobat would start, but it doesn't. Just installed the latest updates and still nothing. Tried Repair in the Uninstall program but still doesn't start. Do I need to Uninstall Acrobat X Pro and reinstall from the DVD?

Have you checked your task bar for any "invisible" windows producing any buttons there? This strikes me as a case of the license agreement being drawn invisibly/ off screen and since you never confirm itr, Acro won't start. Perhaps resetting your graphics config might help, in case you e.g. had a 2 monito setup, but removed one of the monitors. Otehr than that this could be anything from UAC to security tools blocking stuff.... We realyl cannot know and a reinstall likely won't fix that particular issue, either.

Acrobat Pro 10 will not start after installing PitStop 10

This is my problem. Acrobat will not start when I have installed PitStop 9 or 10.
However, it works fine together with PitStop 8.
Thanks.

Don't know about fixing PitStop. However, have you tried a simple repair on Acrobat. If Acrobat won't open you can do that from the Programs and Features menu (Add/Remove Programs in OS prior to Win7).

Acrobat will not load with acrobat_sl.exe running

I'm encountering an issue when I try to open a PDF with Acrobat XI Standard. It appears that the process acrobat_sl.exe is preventing the PDF from opening. If I stop the acrobat_sl.exe process the file opens successfully.
I've tried to disable acrobat_sl.exe from msconfig and the registry, but it continues to run after a restart.
Is there another location that acrobat_sl.exe could be starting from? Has anyone else experienced a similar issue where Acrobat will not start until after acrobat_sl.exe is stopped?

This is not an exhaustive search, but enough to prove my point. Per your request, here is a random sampling of customers with issues that involve the inability to open Acrobat. Regardless of the reason, it shows how prevalent the failure is for this particular application to simply not start up properly, when compared to any other application on the market. That in itself is an issue worth delving into.
Deeper in these forum contents you will find all sorts of whacky suggestions by helpful users as they attempt to assist other frustrated users at their wits end. Many commenters make reference to this having been an issue they've struggled with for years. And many a thread is just left with no final solution.
I so wished I had bookmarked for you every site I actually visited during my months long journey to find a fix. There you get to read for hours about whether it's a licensing issue, registry edit, or a rogue file that needs to be deleted.

I have a version Adobe pro 7, my old computer hard drive failed tried to install on my Windows 8.1, will not start up error message

I have a version Adobe pro 7.1, my old computer hard drive failed, tried to install on my Windows 8.1, will not start up get error message? any solutions? It worked perfectly fine on my old computer which was windows 7.0

Hey,
I am sorry but Acrobat 7 is not at all compatible with Windows 8. For this, you will need to upgrade your Adobe Acrobat version.
For better understanding, please refer this kb file:
Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

the cc desktop app is used to install and update cc programs (and a few other thinigs). but that does not include 'opening' the installed programs.
click your start button or your program files directory to find the acrobat executable to launch acrobat (and any of your other apps, adobe or otherwise).

System PI 7.11 will not start because of R3INLPGM error

Dear experts,
our PI 7.11 sap system will not start on the backup machine. We have two AS/400 machines using IBM iCluster.
On the source node the PI system starts without any problems. If we switch over to the target node,
the PI system will not start. Only the two subsystems R3_<instance> were started and the SAPSTRSVR jobs
ran under QUSRWRK.
In the pool files from SAPSTART we found the following errors:
QPRINT:
R3<SID>400/R3INLPGM: Error occured setting gid to R3GROUP.
QPJOBLOG:

Settings (and other Apps) Will Not Start (Metro)

This morning most Modern Apps will not start on my system, including the Settings app. It seems to be a DCOM failure and seems directly related to this old thread.

This is a current Windows 8.1 installation, full up to date on patches, and the problem still occurs after rebooting. I checked for newly installed patches, etc. and the only thing recent was the Windows Defender definitions update.
It's an i7 with 32 GB of RAM, fast SSD's etc. I don't believe this is a hardware problem in any way.

That matches almost exactly with the referenced thread. But that thread never seemed to give a set of steps to resolve the issue (other than doing a Refresh which would be a catastrophic waste of time, reinstalling my whole development environment).
I really would appreciate some help resolving this issue. If I'm in the wrong forum, please move or suggest a more appropriate place.
Thanks,
    Mike
