Acrobat X Pro becoming unresponsive

About 2 months ago, I got a new laptop and used the Migration Assistant to transfer all of my files and apps from the older MacBook Pro running OS10.6 to the new MacBook Pro running OS10.8.  Everything was working well until about a week ago when my Adobe Acrobat X Pro (v10.1.7) started to freeze on me. Without warning.  I would need to do a “force quit” and re-launch Acrobat, and then it would work for a few more operations.  Now, it has gotten to the point where the program becomes unresponsive almost immediately and can’t be used.  I haven’t installed any new software recently, so I don’t think I’ve somehow created a conflict, and since Acrobat was working normally for 2 months, I don’t think the problem involves using my current version with OS10.8.  Do you have any suggestions?  For example, should I uninstall the current version of Acrobat X (as well as my previous Acrobat 8, which is still on the machine), and then reinstall Acrobat X from my old disk and do a software update to bring my version of the software back up to date?   Thanks.

If you were on a PC, I would suggest you go to Help>Repair. Apparently the MAC does not have that option. There was a post recently about repairs on a MAC version with posts from Phillip Jones. You might want to look for his posts.

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013): Keyboard and Multi-Touch trackpad may become unresponsive
    Has anone tried to apply this patch on 15 inc ?
    Kind Regards,

    The patch is only for MBP late 2013 13 inch. 15 inch is not able to install this patch
    I'm facing this problem intermittently.
    When my keyboard & trackpad went unresponsive, I plug in my USB keyboard and the keyboard & trackpad went back normal.
    I search the web and somebody highlight it may due to connector to keyboard/trackpad appear to be curled.
    Not sure is hardware problem or software bug...

  • Why does my Macbook pro keyboard and trackpad randomly become unresponsive forcing restart in OSX Mavericks?

    Randomly when using OSX Mavericks, since installing yesterday, my mid-2012 Macbook Pro keyboard and trackpad freeze and become unresponsive.
    The computer is still running whatever I was doing, the computer does not crash, i just cannot control it and the only way I have found as a fix is to restart.
    This never happened in Mountain Lion.
    Can anyone help?

    Very similarly.
    Mac Mini late 2012. i7 CPU, 16GB ram. 12GB unused.
    After installing Mavericks, it seems to grind my system to a halt. It is still running (I can move the cursor and activity monitor updates processes) but every application I try to launch results in a colorful waiting sign. It even can take a minute or more before an application shows "any" sign of starting.
    I tried to open a terminal session (so I could manually kill a process) but the terminal session did not even process. It timed out after 5 minutes.
    Acitivity monitor shows 90-95% idle and I have no idea what's causing it.
    I have already rebuild disk and reset permissions (all seemed fine) 3 times.
    I've rebooted over 8 times since last night. I cannot use my Mac anymore reliably.
    Please help.

  • Gray becomes green when a Adobe 8.1.0 PDF is printed with Acrobat 9 Pro ...?

    Hello,
    when the PDF file which was created with Adobe 8.1 is printed with Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro the gray is as it should be.
    If the same file is printed to the same printer (same settings) with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on another Workstation in the same office the gray becomes kind of green.
    I noticed the grayscale Option in the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro was set to Dot Gain 20% instead of Gray Gamma 2.2, so i changed it but the gray still gets printed as a green.
    I really would appreciate any help!

    Martha:
    Acrobat 9 installation is fraught with problems. All four writers who tried to install it at one customer location had problems getting the A'9 to work properly after installation -- and the problems were all slightly different.
    And so too were the responses given by Adobe support. In one case A'Support recommended running a cleanup tool, in one case it insisted that the program should install with the same serial number as the Tech Comm Suite that putatively includes A'9, and in another case it simply "punted" and gave the I.T. folks a new, separate serial number to circumvent the otherwise unresolvable installation problems.
    Apparently we can add sending people with A'9 problems to the FrameMaker forum to that list...
    Cheers & hope this helps,
    Riley

  • Why does Premiere Pro 6.0 become unresponsive with longer video sequences?

    Laptop A works fairly well with small Premiere Pro CS6 projects of 9 minute duration. Project is on external drive connected via USB2. Processing time is long, but at least I can get all my work done.
    However, when I use Laptop A for larger projects (25-minute duration), Premiere becomes unresponsive.
    Example: I try to press STOP during playback and it does no respond. In fact, the only way to stop playback is to press CTRL-S and wait for a minute until the CPU is ready to acknowledge your keystrokes.
    On Laptop B the same 25-minute project performs fine (again project is on external hard drive, but this time connected over USB3).
    So there are four differences between my laptops:
    LAPTOP A
    LAPTOP B
    Make & OS
    Win 7 Home Premium - 64-bit (Lenovo ThinkPad)
    Win 7 Pro - 64-bit (Dell Precision)
    CPU
    Intel i5
    Intel i7
    Internal HD
    SATA2
    SSD
    RAM
    8GB
    16GB
    USB
    USB2
    USB3
    I can live with Laptop A being slow, but the unresponsive is a show stopper for me. Please help me figure out which of these factors is causing the unresponsiveness.
    Thanks!

  • MacBook Pro Retina Black Screens and Becomes Unresponsive

    I've been having issues with my laptop where all of a sudden it would black screen and become unresponsive. Checking the console messages I see a lot of records referring to "AppleVTD: waiting space". This seems to be a reoccuring problem. I've already repaired my disk once and now it's happening again, I've ran the disk utility and it is telling me that my hard drive needs repairs again.

    and then my entire system freezes.  This has been happening at least once daily, and it's killing my productivity.
    Have you figured out what was going on?
    And, are you running any virtualization software, like Parallels?
    Anyone out there know what's going on?  I'm pretty desperate here...
    Thanks so much!

  • Acrobat X Pro crashes when document closed if launched from COM API

    Environment: Windows 7
    Acrobat X Pro
    I'm seeing some unusual behaviour when running the following code which simply launches the Acrobat Application and opens up a document with Acrobat X Pro.  Closing the document causes the program to become unresponsive and then crash.  The crash dump shows the exception as "The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access".
    I've discounted a problem with the plugin I wrote since the program also crashes without the plugin loaded. 
    Same code runs fine with Acrobat 9 using the version 9 acrobat.tlb.
    Can anyone help or advise?
    With thanks,

  • Working with percentages in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    So, I have a quick question. I am new to working with forms in acrobat, and am having a hard time figuring this part out. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it!
    So I have a form that I've created in acrobat 9 pro. Below I have listed "individual 1:" and then "percentage allocation". The "percentage alloctions" are the different form fields for the percentages I've created. For each form field, I limited the values to not exceed 100%. I want individuals filling in this form to be able to fill in the percentages by each of the names without the TOTAL percentage value (of all three together) going over 100%. But...the trick is, I don't have a separate "Total" form field, there's no room for one. So is there a way to make it so the total of the three equals 100% without having a "total" form field?
    individaul 1:  percentage allocation
    Individual 2: percentage allocation1
    Individual 3: percentage allocation2
    Please let me know if this makes sense,

    Try67,
    Thank you for sending me that reference guide, that will help. This is extremely frustrating for me. Thank you for the field visible or hidden script...I did end up finding those yesterday, just didn't know how to incorporate them to become visible if the total number is less than 100.
    I ended up creating another text field right next to the total, and called it "statement". I marked this field as "hidden" through the general properties option in the adobe acrobat dialog box. And , I set up default text to read, "Total value must not be less than 100%". All of this, I did through the properties dialog box.
    Individual 1: 30
    Individual 2: 20
    Individual 3: 10
    Total:  60%             "statement" text field is here.
    I figured what I could do is add another "if statement" to the validation script I put in for the "Total" text field I already had (below)..don't know if that was a stupid thing to do or not, but didn't know how else to do it. And where it says getField, I added the "statement" text field (the one that is hidden), thinking it would just get that field, but it's not working, what did I do wrong?
    var total = Number(getField("individual1").value) + Number(getField("individual2").value) + Number(getField("individual3").value);
    if (total>100) {
        app.alert("The total of the beneficiary fields must equal 100%");
        event.rc = false;
    if (total<100) {
    this.getField("statement").display = display.visible;

  • Acrobat XI Pro trial won't install under Yosemite

    I've downloaded a trial version of Acrobat XI and launched the installer but I get the spinning wheel after clicking on "Install" and it becomes unresponsive and I have to Force Quit. I don't get an error message. I've just noticed that Adobe Reader won't run now either, so there seems to be an underlying problem with Acrobat-related software. I have InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop CS5 running perfectly fine. Hopefully someone has an idea! Thanks in advance.

  • My trackpad and keyboard randomly become unresponsive on MBP Retina

    I just got my Macbook Pro with Retina a week ago. Its the newest model that just came out the week I got it. Its a 13 Inch. I noticed when I am using it, the trackpad and kayboard randomly become unresponsive for sometime. I have to close it and wait for it to start working again. Do you have any idea what the problem might be. Should I contact Apple?

    I went through this with my old Late 2008 Macbook Uni when I installed Kingston Value RAM.
    Take your new RAM out - install your old RAM back - do a PRAM reset and see if your keyboard and trackpad are working again.
    Once that's done - turn your Macbook off - install the new RAM - if keyboard and trackpad are unresponsive again - install different brand of RAM.
    I ended up intalling Crucial RAM in mine.
    Good luck.

  • Premier stutters, stop, starts, becomes unresponsive, and grinds to a halt

    ok, i3770 3.5

    Wacom touch pen interface
    2x Ati Radeon 6870 1gb gddr5 ( usually un-crossfired)
    premier pro 5.5.2
    now, I more than meet the minimum needs for adobe premier, but sometimes, when I am using it, it grinds to a near halt and "becomes unresponsive" between simple actions. I checked online and it said to shut off the gpu setting, which I could not find on my version of adobe premier CS5.5. So, I figure my scratch disk drive is too full. so I free up 50 gig or so by uninstalling some games im not playing. I run my registry cleaner, and I still have the same problem.
    Is it because I de-frag my HDD once a week ? did some of the files get shifted and this is causing major problems in performance ?
    Im not sure if this is a hardware or a configuration problem.
    What I am doing is creating my own cartoon in it. which I am sure , is not what this program is designed for, but I find it much more intuitive to use than flash for some reason. its a comfort / time issue for me.

    Hello again, I can see that your Mac is running last year's 2011 generation Macbook Air, am I correct? If older, then I suppose that it is because likely of the new operating system, with new software added in, I think it is stressing the RAM a lot. Also, likely is because your using a lot of your hard drive's storage. Other than that, you can go and configure your mac or get a new one. These are suggestions I could offer, on the other hand I think you will have to stop updating your operating system. Not software updates, but operating system. Means you maybe sticking to Mountain Lion for "a while". Sorry I couldn't be much of a help. But yes, those are old specs and you may be stressing your computer hardware.
    Another option is to get expensive accessories like an external hard drive and buying more RAM. Your graphics card should be fine since your using an Air likely just for work and internet browsing.

    Hi Dharmender ,
    Did you try to repair your Acrobat once ?If not please try the same and check if that helps you out .
    Launch Acrobat >Navigate to Help >Repair Acrobat Installation .
    Do you get any error message or any prompts when it hangs and become unresponsive ?
    Does this happen with any specific PDF or all the PDF'?
    Also you could try to uninstall Acrobat once and they re install it if the above step does not work .
    Please restart your machine once as well.
    Regards

  • Graphics in FrameMaker 9 lost when converted in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    Since upgrading to FrameMaker 9, some graphics that appear fine in FrameMaker become black boxes in the PDFs created by Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. By finding the original graphic and reimporting it, the problem is solved, but the original graphic is not always available. Is there any other workaround to this problem created by the software? Suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!

    I use Save As PDF (book). When I print to PDF, I don't get the problem (but I don't get the bookmarks)
    I think you find in many places on this forum that the best practices for making a PDF is to print to the Adobe PDF printer, either directly or indirectly (saving the ps file and distilling with Distiller). It is my understanding that there are problems with Save As PDF.
    In any event, you should be able to get bookmarks by printing to Adobe PDF printer. In the Print dialog, select Generate Acrobat Data and click PDF Setup. In the PDF setup dialog > Bookmarks tab, select Generate PDF Bookmarks and select the formats to bookmark. It is the same dialog that displays when you do Save As PDF.
    Because your graphics are COPIED into the Frame files, I know of no way to get them out again from the Frame file. That is why I always import graphics by reference, so that the original graphic is always available if needed for editing or reimportation.
    If you absolutely need a graphic file AND the Frame to PDF workflow is working properly, you can always create the PDF for the page with the graphic (turning OFF all resampling and compression). Then open the file in Illustrator and delete all but the graphic; then save as PDF or eps. Or open the PDF in Acrobat Professional and export the image (if a bitmap) or delete all but the graphic and save as PDF.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro and changes to Normal style in Word

    I am using Acrobat 9 Pro with Microsoft Word 2007 on a Windows XP system. On PDFing a workbook recently, I noticed that after successfully creating the PDF several of the styles in my original document had changed from Arial to Times New Roman. Further investigation showed that the Normal style had been changed and this had rippled through the document.
    I corrected the font and re-saved, closed and opened the document but when I ran Acrobat again it once more changed Normal to Times New Roman: this seemed to occur after the distillation was complete as the fonts were correct in the PDF.
    Further investigation seems to suggest that the issue is something to do with no master template being applied to the document. The connection to the parent had become broken due to moving the document. On applying a parent template, the issue seemed to go away and the font did not change after running Acrobat.
    Can anyone tell me if this is a known behavior of Acrobat or was it simply a result of sloppy document management (it's OK, I won't take it personally). I did a quick search on the site and saw nothing similar.

    Thanks for the reply. I would agree about 2007; however, I'm fairly sure it is to do with the template that is currently attached to the document. I suspect that because no template was stipulated, it reattached to the Normal.dotm when acrobat was finished PDFing. Since stipulating the template to be used I have had no further problems.
    I just love Office and it's "quirky" ways.
