Adobe Acrobat 8.1.3 closes after a few seconds

Anyone having an issue with Acrobat 8 closing after a few seconds? I don't get an error message - it just shuts down. I tryed to re-install it but it doesn't work. Any clues?

Navigate to the C: drive, open "Program files" look for Acrobat 8 Pro folder and find the "exe" file for Acrobat 8.1 Pro.
Right click on the "exe" file, click "Properties". Then check the box "run the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP professional"
Close properties, exit
When relaunching Acrobat 8 Pro, It will request to be activated
activate and then it works.
thanks Bola

  • Adobe Acrobat X Standard quits unexpectedly after 7-10 seconds

    Adobe Acrobat X Standard quits unexpectedly after 7-10 seconds.  I've tried updating and uninstalled and reinstalled the program.  I can create pdf's but can't view them fpr more than 7 seconds.  Also the check for updates under the help command reads "updates have been disabled by your system policy" Please advise.  I've also noticed after opening the task manager and under processes the acrobat program uses a small amount of memory at first then increases to 60mb and ccloses even with no files open.

    I was having issue with "Acrobat quit unexpectedly" when the application was launching. But the problem was solved after I reinstall acrobat using a new admin account.
    Today the problem re-surfaced. I could launch Acrobat but it would give me "Acrobat quit unexpectedly" after 5-10 sec.
    My acrobat has been patched to v10.1.8.

  • Premiere Pro & After Effects close after a few seconds after the startup?

    Hi,
    I bought Creative Cloud yesterday and everything installed just fine. I haven't tried all Apps yet, but so far Premiere Pro and After Effects close after a few seconds after the startup. There is no dialogue or error window of any kind, the programs just shut down automatically.
    The weird thing is that I had the trial before, but also uninstalled it, but then the apps worked just fine.
    I searched the forum but couldn't find anyone with the exact same issue. I hope someone can help me out.
    My notebook specs:
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Intel Core i7-3610QM
    CPU 2.30 GHz
    RAM 6 GB
    Graphics card: nVidia Geforce GT 630M - 2 GB

    >assigning my nVidia card as the main driver for Premiere Pro (instead of the standard card)
    You MAY need to turn off the onboard graphics "chip" in BIOS

  • When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works!  Any suggestions?

    When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works!  I have thought about deleting the app from my phone and then reloading it again but I worry that it will delete all my calendar info???  Any suggestions?

    To reset, press and hold the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
    I would delete the app, reset the phone and then download the app again. Your calendar information should be stored on the phone as Week Cal uses the Calendar app information.
    Best of luck.

  • Cairo-compmgr closes after a few seconds

    Hey so I've just finished installing Awesome WM via clyde(The AUR package manager). So I have it working but I'm having a problem.

  • Maill App Closes After a Few Seconds

    My mail app on my new iPad closes automatically after about 5 seconds. Any advice?

    Can you send mail from your ipod?
    Did you try to switch your account off and on again?
    I even had to delete and setup my account again when my mail stopped connecting to my mailserver.
    After that it worked fine again.

  • Some Apps refuse to open or close after a few seconds. Is it the apps or the phone?

    Has anyone else suffered from the following glitches?
    A few apps I have purchased recently have worked fine for a couple of days but then seem to stop working. By stop working I mean an app is pressed, the screen flashes to black as though opening the app, but then fails and returns back to the original screen. This has happened on two apps thus far, shiftlife organiser and the free app movie SFX. I had to delete them and re-sync them on ITunes. They both appear to work fine for a few weeks and then fail to work for no obvious reason.
    Another app Met Office Weather, will open correctly, but when navigating through the app to say weather maps, just shuts it down continuously. A game Death Rally, which I have been playing on and off for a while with no issues, now will open for a few seconds and then close itself again.
    Another issue is functions not appearing. From the main menu screen I have flicked left to the search screen to find there is no keypad, or when accessing ITunes via the phone, cannot input the ITunes ID as there is no keypad to enter the password.
    On each occaision i have rebooted the phone, but I dont want to have to keep performing this manual fix each time.
    Its almost appears as though a virus is slowly infecting my Iphone 4S V5.0.1.
    HELP!!

    Basics are restart, reset, restore.
    Have you tried each of these?

  • HT204380 why does the camera in my itouch spontaneously closes after a few seconds of opening it? there was this time that I used facetime and it became freakishly hot and then after that, I tried to open my camera but quickly closed by itself.

    there was this time that I tried to use my facetime for a long time. Then after using it, it became very hot all over from the back till front. Then when I tried to open the camera function, it only went to the part where it shows the gray spiral covers without actually going to the actual camera then it went completely black and it went to home. The camera closes on its own now and i cant use it.

    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar at bottom
    2. Hold the FaceTime/Camera app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Re-launch the app and test
    Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar

  • Where is GrowlHelperApp.app? box pops up and closes after a few seconds. I don't have Growl installed - what can I do?

    Whenever I open my recently Mavericks booted mac, a pop up box appears asking me
    "Where is GrowlHelperApp.app?"
    I have never used nor heard of Growl before.
    I spent around an hour googling for a soultion, but the only ones I can find all relate to having Growl installed.
    The worst part is that clicking "Cancel" immediately brings the box back up again, whilst moving it or just leaving the box open results in it closing itself after ~15 seconds just to re-open again.
    It's extremely frustrating.
    Does anyone know what to do to get rid of this without having to buy Grow
    Cheers in advance!

    Thank you for your help!
    I disabled them all one by one and it seems like it was the GeekTool Helper that was causing this..
    Which is a shame because it added life to my desktop
    You have yourself a good day Mr. Tony!

  • V11.3 Opens a PDF, Then Closes After A Few Seconds...

    ...and yes, I HAVE clicked ACCEPT on the EULA.
    Version X (10) works fine.  Version XI (11.3) does NOT.  I am running Windows 7 64-bit.  I have uninstalled clean / complete - reinstalled, no luck.  And yes, I can downgrade to version X.   But that's not the point.
    The point is - this is apparently some kind of bug with 11.3.  Is there a fix for this?
    Thanks...

  • Firefox is now closing unexpectedly shortly after I open it. There is not even enough time to click on help, then disable ad-ons. I also don't receive any error messages. It just closes after a few seconds. Help! Don't want to use other browsers.

    I came here to post because it seems my question wasn't posting when simply clicking on "ask this question".

    I think in the circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall is called for. Please follow these instructions.
    Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0] and download a fresh installation file using IE8 or 9 and choose to save it to your desktop when you see the prompt.
    Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox '''and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
    Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox '''at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

  • I had to reinstall Abode CS3 Web Premium. Why is Acrobat 8 closing after a few seconds on Mac Os X 10.6.8, when it used to perform perfectly?

    I've searched through the web and this seems to be a recurrent problem that affects various versions of Acrobat. I've reinstalled Adobe Web Premium after a clean re-installation of Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Acrobat 8 used to work fine, but now it closes after a few seconds - no crash, just closes. I tried to clear the preferences folder and I had to introduce the serial number again. When I re-entered it, it says it's not a valid number, although the number works fine on Photoshop.
    How can I solve this?
    Thank you

  • Every time i open a pdf, now, it, after a few seconds says that adobe reader has closed.

    Why does adobe close after a few seconds when i open a pdf?  It has worked fine for a year on this computer.

    Try repairing the application from within the Control Panel and see if solves the issue. Also, see if temporarily disabling your antivirus software helps.
