Acrobat X does not start

I have CS6 design premium.
Everything is working currently.
In the last few days Acrobat X has stopped working.
When I click the icon or try to open a document the program fails to load.
It shows in task manager for about a half second then disappears.
Please offer a solution to this.
I own a legal, paid-for, copy of this software.
Thanks.

I had the same issue with Adobe CS6 Standard on Windows 7.  The Adobe Live Chat guy had me fix it this way:
Go to  C:\program files(X86)\common files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache 
Move (not copy) cache.db to desktop.
Open Photoshop CS6.
Click on Help > Deactivate. 
In the opened window, click on Deactivate.
Close Photoshop, reopen it and you should be asked to activate it back. If so, follow instructions (provide adobe ID, serial #, etc.)
If you don't get the activate prompt, open Acrobat X. You should get the prompt to activate and a request for your adobe ID and serial number.
Once activated, Acrobat will work.
As a side, I'm not a huge fan of the new Acrobat interface. Looks a bit horsey and nothing like its slick CS6 bretheren.

  • Acrobat Pro X 10.1.10 Does Not Start Windows 8.1

    I have Create Suite CS6 which apparently bundles Adobe Acrobat Pro X.   I have upgraded to 10.1.10.    Under Window 8.1, this version simply does not start.   There is no startup screen.  There is no error in EventViewer of Windows.   It simply does NOTHING.
    I went to Windows Program and Features and did a "Repair" on Acrobat Pro X.  This redid the install but the result is the same.
    Is there a known compatibility issue here?   How do I work around this?

    Hello, 
    Have you tried to run the Acrofix patch on your computer?

  • Acrobat X (C6) does not start

    Acrobat X within CS6 does not start.
    I tried uninstalling CS6 and reinstalling and it still doesn't work.
    I tried unilstalling just the Acrobat X Pro module.  I'm not sure how to install just this component.
    I'm running Win7 Ultimate 64-bit on a Dell T-3500 with 12GB of RAM.
    It appears that I'm running CS6 Master Collection v6.1 (service pack 1).
    What are the recommended next actions to resolve the Acrobat X problem?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Make sure you are connected to the internet.
    Launch   CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)
    Click on Help->Deactivate .
    Deactivate the application. Quit application.
    Launch a regular CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)
    Accept Eula.
    Register trial by signing in. Let the app launch.
    Quit and relaunch the app. Wait for UI to come.
    Click on License This Software button on the UI.
    Click on Sign in .
    Serial number screen will come
    Enter the serial number in the serial number screen and click Next.
    Quit app and relaunch the app while connected on the internet .
    After this if you launch Acrobat it will launch and run forever without trouble. In case you still face a problem , try relaunching the other CS6 app once more and then launch Acrobat.
    You can refer this thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1021632 for reference.
    Thank you,

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 does not start anymore

    This happened to me three times now. One time Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 is working properly for weeks. It crashes once and after that it does not start anymore without providing a message or clue.
    What I used to do is remove CS6 completely and reinstall it. But this is tedious. Just uninstalling Acrobat Pro and reinstalling it doesn't do the trick.
    My guess is that a setting is stopping Acrobat Pro from starting. Is it possible to reset Acrobat Pro settings to the factory default? I've already remove the folders under
    %LOCALAPPDATA% \adobe\acrobat and
    %APPDATA% \adobe\acrobat
    but this doesn't help.

    Ok. This occasion I had a bit of time on my hand and found a solution yuhu!
    Make sure you have access to you license key as you have to enter it new after this procedure
    1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
    2) Delete or rename the file cache.db
    3) Open Acrobat Pro, you will be asked to license the software again under your Adobe-ID again.
    4) If asked to connect to your Adobe-ID and re-enter the license key.
    Now Acrobat Pro is working (as are all the other CS6 applications.

  • Acrobat X Pro does not start

    It just shows the thinking wheel a second and nothing happens.
    I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 on a PC running windows 7. All the other applications run fine.
    What is wrong with Acrobat?

    Of course. I can give you the system info.
    There is no crash log. And the application does not show up in the task manager, not as an application or a process or services, since it does not start.
    Earlier I did a reinstall every time this happened, and it would start up for a bit. Tedious but effective. This does not work anymore.

  • Acrobat 9 does not appear in Install of CS4

    I have acrobat 8 pro running on my machine and just installed cs4.  Acrobat 9 does not appear on the install menu.  Any suggestions?

    Acrobat 9 is the cinderella of CS4 upgrades.
    Check if it appears as installed in the 'add/remove software' panel' under Adobe CS4. If it is, uninstall, restart, and install again. If it isn't same without uninstalling (hehe).
    I had to do this several times and still could't get MSOffice documents printed as pdf.
    If you have that problem as well, try this:
    Delete all instances of Adobe pdf maker from Printers.
    Start Acrobat and try creating a new pdf out of an existing Office doc.
    If you're lucky, Acrobat's self-repair function should start and solve the problem (I think I had to restart for this though).
    Hope this helps.

  • WebAnalysis does not start after workspace is set on Windows Authentication

    I've used [doc Hyperion System 9.3.x Configuring the BI+ Workspace for Single Sign-On (SSO) with Internet Information Services (IIS) [ID 1100096.1] to configure SSO for workspace users. It works fine. Though since then the WA service does not start anymore. The error message which is raised sounds very very familar but still I am not able to tackle it. The message in the log or the analysis console is "[WARN] [STANDBY] ExecuteThread: '1' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.analyzer.utils.general.HYAUtil - Wait for workspace [
    [WARN] Timer-2 com.hyperion.analyzer.utils.general.HYAUtil - ."
    I am very sure it had something to do with rights/ permissions, but also after playing around with IIS and ntfs permissions for hours I can't get SSO en WA both working at the same time.
    As soon as I set my workspace aplication in IIS on windows integrated, the SSO is working but as soon as a I restart the WA service it fails to start. When I set the workspace application IIS on anonymous the WA service start fine but then the SSO is not working anymore.
    It drives me crazy.
    Hopefully its a small matter for you to solve!
    Thanks in advance.

    Dont know exactly whats happened but I presume something went wrong during the update procedure.
    If you will be not able to start the notebook in the safe mode or to boot the notebook then user the Toshiba recovery CD to gets the notebook working!

    I am experiencing problem (the installation does not start) when I try to install ArchiCAD 17 Educational on my mac. I am using Yosemite. How can I fix it?

    You need to contact the developer/manufacturer directly to determine if their product is compatible w/Yosemite.  It is not listed on their system requirement website:
    Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard*
    Note: ArchiCAD 17 is the last version of ArchiCAD to support Mac OS X 10.6
    Only case insensitive file-system volumes are supported.

  • -Xmx greater than 180M does not start jvm on a 2gb machine, why?

    Hi, we have developed a product demo shown as an applet that uses the java plug-in to startup.
    The demo requires high amount of memory so we modified the java plug-in -xms and -xmx values in the control panel so more memory is available to the applet. What we can not see is why using values higher than -Xmx187M the applet does not start launching an error message either in Explorer of Firefox telling it has been unable to load the jvm. Using the value of -Xmx180M the applet starts but the out of memory message is displayed very soon as the demo requires at least 700M.
    We are using:
    � JRE1.6_u02
    � IE7. FireFox 2.0.0.7
    � Computer: 2GB Ram, CoreDuo2.
    Does any of you why this limitation in the maximum java heap size?
    Thanks for your time and help.
    Best Regards.

    I don't understand the logic for when it will error out on the -Xmx setting.One obvious idea leaps to my mind - because windows doesn't do it.
    And googling would seem to support that. Search for "currently implemented up to" in the following.

  • My 2011 MacBook Pro does not start and stop after the apple appear, they said that the problem is a video problem and need to change the logic board. Cost almost same to buy a new one. Somebody have the same problem?

    I have a MacBook Pro early 2011. Does not start. After the apple show, a blank screen appear. The service said that the problem is with the video plaquue in the logic board. Need to change. Cost lmmost the same than a new MacBook Pro. Somebody has the same problem? What we can do?

    I hate to break this to you, but life isn't fair. If your job is that critically in need of a computer, then you should have a spare to use for just this kind of situation or have your employer provide you with a computer to use.
    Computers break down, just like cars. If your car breaks down do you curse the car maker or get it fixed? Surely, you paid more for your car than the computer.
    This is reality. Best get used to it because it won't get any better.
