Acrobat X  stopped working on Windows 8 platform-not part of CS6

I am running Acrobat 10 on a Windows 8 operating system. Acrobat worked fine for the past few months with no issues.
Today I saved a file from the internet then closed Acrobat and opened a few additional files with no issue. Then I tried to open another file and it appeared for a brief second then the program just closed. Since then I can't open any files. All that happens is you see the "busy" round circle for a few seconds when I try to open the program and nothing happens.
Any suggestions? I have no idea what happened.

It sounds like the PDF you downloaded may have had a JavaScript virus. I would run it through a virus checker. In the meantime, go to the Control Panel and under Programs and Preferences run a repair on Acrobat. You might also want to check the plugins subfolder to see if something was downloaded about that same time and put in that folder. If the repair does not do the job, then you may unfortunately have to uninstall. In that case, totally delete the Acrobat folder where the program was installed after the uninstall. The run the cleaner from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, reboot, and reinstall. You will then have to go through the update process again, particularly if the system is a 64-bit system.

    I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro.  The application keeps timing out and  at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes.  The document is 275 pages.  Is there something I can do to stop this?

    Hi Ricci,
    Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
    Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro causes an error when starting it - Adobe Acrobat has stopped working. How do I resolve this?

    I've had Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for some time, but yesterday it stopped working and I started having an 'Adobe Acrobat has stopped working' error. It then tells me to Close the Program.
    How do I resolve this?
    Thanks and regards
    Roxanne

    Thanks Pat. I was able to resolve the problem.
    OS is Windows 7 Pro, Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.07.
    I went into the Properties file where I identified that Users only had Read & Execute and Read properties, I changed properties for Everyone to Full Control. That fixed the problem.
    I don't know how the properties got changed to just Read & Execute, but there had been an automatic update the night before.

  • I have a user getting an error Adobe Acrobat has stopped working  how do I resolve this?

    Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
    This happens at a variety of times.  Sometimes while scanning sometimes while bookmarking sometimes while adding pages from a file.
    What I have done is made sure the program was up to date, a repair install, updated scanner drivers, replace the scanner with a different model, made sure the workstation was current with MS patches.  Any suggestions would be most welcome.
    Thank you,
    Brad

    Thanks for the reply.  Sorry I wasn't clear the version is XI standard.  And I did check for updates.  The program is current.  Still a few times a day the program will crash and my user will have to start over again on the document she is working on.  Very frustrating for her and me.
    The full error is:
    Adobe Acrobat has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

  • After installing Mavericks Acrobat reader stopped working, Skype stopped working, lost a bunch of e-mails in my gmail account in Mail.

    After installing Mavericks Acrobat reader stopped working, Skype stopped working, lost a bunch of e-mails in my gmail account in Mail. Anyone has a fix?  I can't open PDF files anymore...

    Do a backup.
    Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Copy the line below.
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
    Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    Information learned from Linc Davis.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Why does Acrobat just stop working?

    Installed CD6.  Everything works/opens just fine.  Then all of a sudden Acrobat stops working.  Illustrator and Photoshop are fine.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and everything worked fine for numerous uses.  Then Acrobat stopped working - in the middle of a PDF and it just "disappear" and Acrobat will no longer open.  This time I uninstalled, used Adobe CleanUp Tool and reinstalled.  Works just fine now....but I am concened that Acrobat will stop working again.  Has this happened to other users?  Operating system is Windows 7.

    Just running the update of adobe application manager and then try to open the software.

    Most of the times the  emails go through and Acrobat crashes.
    Many times the email get stuck as draft.

    And after that my problems started.
    I reinstalled but problem persists.

    As a matter of fact, it used to work fine.

  • I can't open Itunes on my laptop. "Itunes has stopped working. A problem causes the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" is the message. what is the problem here?

    I can't open my Itunes program in my laptop computer with windows 8. the message is "Itunes has stopped working. A problem causess the program to stop working properly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I reboot  the machine, Uninstall and re install the  Itune program, stilll the same message pops up.

    The first thing to try is System Restore to take you back to a point in time when it did work. If that is not successful, create a new user on the computer. log in with that and see if ID will start. This will tell us if the problem is in the system/program or the user account.
    If it works in a new user account, see Replace Your Preferences and in addition to replacing the prefs, empty the InDesign Recovery folder that will be in the same location and the InDesign SavedData file.

  • TS1424 HELLO! whenever i try to access the itunes store from the itunes on my laptop i get this message: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is availabl

    for a few weeks i have not been able to access the itunes store from the itunes on my laptop. every time i click on it it tells me it cannot access the store...not sure why. and says this: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.

    I had this exact same problem.  I found this fix and it worked for me. 
    Step 1:
    Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. 
    Step 2:
    Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
    Good Luck.

  • Get error "Firefox has stopped working" under Windows 7

    I'm running Firefox 3.6.10 (just upgraded, I was at 3.6.9) and every so often (maybe 1-2 days), Windows 7 decides to crash it with the error "Firefox has stopped working". Firefox itself does not seem to be generating a crash id, which is disappointing since that way it would be reported. I run a LOT of tabs, at the moment I have around 100 open. I notice that the CPU usage seems to get very high (it shows 25% for me, but I have a quad core machine so I guess that is 100% of one CPU) as well as memory (1.5gb). It's almost as though Windows thinks that Firefox has stopped responding because of the high CPU usage and decides to terminate it.
    I've seen some posts here reporting similar problems, but no resolutions. I also saw a post elsewhere suggesting disabling throttling in Windows but saw other posts saying that had not solved the problem.
    Any suggestions on how to fix or troubleshoot this problem?

    I have this problem too. Now i'm using win7 64 bit, i installed the newest firefox 6.0.2 and yahoo messenger 11 -> i got this problem. First time i think this is a firefox's error. I decide to use process hacker (a mini tool to manager running process) to find out what is happening and i found this: the program name "YahooMessger!.exe" run a few second and it calls the firefox crash popup lol. I uninstall the firefox and i see "YahooMessger!.exe" auto run in process hacker! ^^ conclusion: i uninstall Yahoo Messenger 11 and delete two folder of yahoo in my username's document (1 of them have the program "YahooMessger!.exe"), reinstall firefox and get out this problem!
    So my question is: what is "YahooMessger!.exe", is it a yahoo's part, is it a spyware or virus? Here is the link of this file, i have archived it with winrar http://www.mediafire.com/?lf8tc9fal5rxlup

    Adobe Reader 10.1/ 11 get error "has stopped working" on windows 7 after installed 1 or 2 days, but Adobe Reader is fine==

    Turning off the Protected Mode at Startup setting fixed the problem for me. Switched off all protected mode settings in Preferences exited Adobe Reader XI then restarted. Now I can successfully open files without the program crashing. I run the same versions of Adobe Reader and Norton Internet Security on Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems and the problem only occurred on Windows 7.

    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

    What does the detailed crash report say?
    And have you updated your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website? (most crashes on launch are due to bugs in out of date video card drivers)
