Adobe acrobat 9.4.2 freezes up

Adobe acrobat 9.4.2 freezes up when I try to scan a document. Problem just started, I tried repair option with no luck, then I uninstalled and reinstalled and even after the first update to 9.2 still have same problem...

Good day,
Please try updating Acrobat to 9.4.3 via Help > Check for Updates. Several issues were introduced with the 9.4.2 update and those have been resolved with the 9.4.3 update.
Thank you,

Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 freezes when printing to Amyuni Document Converter

We have two computers that have Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 installed. Adobe itself seems to work just fine. However, there are two other pieces of software installed on the computer that use the Amyuni Document Converter 400 to convert or save files as a PDF. They have no problems right clicking on a file and using the "send to" feature in Windows to save a file into the application. However, when they open a PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 and click File-> Save As and then select the program (example: eFileCabinet) that uses the document converter, Acrobat freezes and they have to use task manager to end the process. They are using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with plenty of memory and CPU resources. The event log clearly shows Adobe Acrobat hanging. What, if anything, can we do? Any suggestions outside upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat? Have you seen anything like this?

Hi,
the crash happens from the GUI too.
acroread -toPostScript blur-crash.pdf
I can' see how I can attach a file to this message. You can download a PDF which does this here: http://heim.ifi.uio.no/martingi/blur-crash.pdf The problem occurs only with certain PDF documents. The problem seems to have to do with that drop shadow.
$ acroread -v

I've tried printing the document on a not entirely up-to-date version of Acrobat Reader on Windows, and that also crashed. I have no idea what happens with the latest version.

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro Freezes (Mac OS 10.7.5)

Hi,
I am having a problem with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, version 9.5.2.
Whenever I open a PDF file, it frequently freezes and I am left
with the twirling color circle. Sometimes (less frequently), the
PDF file opens nicely. However, when I also save any changes
to a PDF file, it will also freeze and I am left with the twirling
color circle. If I wait several minutes sometimes, the twirling
will stop and the software returns to working. I have this
problem regardless of the size of file being either read or
modified.
An IT friend has installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro a couple of times in order to solve
this problme and doing so does not changed anuything.
My computer is a MacPro4,1. It runs Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
(11G63). It has a 2 X 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor and 16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 memory. The
harddrive on which it is installed has 522 GB available.
Best wishes,
Paul

I would suggest you try applying the 9.5.3 update first to see if the behavior improves.
If it doesn't, you may want to run a Disk Permissions repair from the Disk Utility.

Adobe Acrobat Pro and Reader Freeze

Everytime I open Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader I am unabe to open the preferences menu. Program freezes up. Also when I hit print the program also freezes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with no success.

Which version (and sub-version)? Why do you have both Reader and Acrobat installed? Before AAX this was not a recommended combination at all.
You should be able to delete the Reader and repair Acrobat. If you do not have the most current version of Acrobat, you should do an update(s). If you uninstall and reinstall again, before the reinstall, deleted any left over parts of the Acrobat folder and run a registry cleanup utility (the MS one if you can get it -- MS quit distributing it -- or CCleaner). Then reinstall. Typically the repair and the updates should take care of things unless you have gotten a corrupt plug-in included somehow.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 freezes on "next page" command on document

I have gotten stuck where my Acrobat 8 Pro crashes every time I hit "next page" button on a certain document. Document works fine in Windows and with Preview. Acrobat crashes everytime. From system log, message is:
Oct 25 18:30:47 PerryMacintosh /Applications/Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional/Adobe Acrobat Professional.app/Contents/MacOS/Acrobat[341]: installAutoFSMonitor: open failed
Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
From the application's menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro scanner freezes up on Show Scanner Interface

My Acrobat XI Pro freezes up when the settings on my scanner (Epson Expression 10000XL - Graphic Arts Scanner) is set on "Native Mode" & "Show Scanner Interface". It will scan with the "Hide Scanner Interface". I have been using this same scanner with Acrobat XI, with these settings (Show Scanner Interface) for at least six months. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling XI & rebooted, but this did not help. I finally uninstalled XI then installed my old Acrobat 9 Pro, then it worked perfectly (this tells me that my problem is definitely with XI and not my scanner). I am very frustrated that I cannot use my new Acrobat program and have to go back to the old one, especially when I have been using the new one for so long without any problems. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? I have Windows 7 (Service Pack 1)

You may want to ask in the Acrobat forum for scanning and OCR.

When I try to open Adobe Acrobat XI Pro it just freezes, it also freezes when opening a PDF document. What can be done to resolve this or troubleshoot this?

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is having some issues. When just the base program opens it freezes before I can even do anything with preferences. The same thing happens when I open a PDF document from anywhere. I have cleared the %temp% directory and repair installed the program with no success in finding a resolution to this issue. I have removed Adobe AIR as a thread indicated that this program could be the cause of some issues. I even restarted the print spooler as that was mentioned in a different post on Adobe Support Forums.

I would suggest rebooting (particularly if you have not) and log in as the administrator. Also, it sounds like you can open Acrobat, but then it locks up when you try to do the preferences. So in that case go to Help>Repair and apply that. Then repeat the process with Help>Updates to get current. See if that resolves the issues. Since you mentioned %temp%, I assume you are on a windows machine, but which one?

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 causes MS Office 2003 to freeze & mouse to malfunction - HELP!

After installing Acrobat 9.0 Professional on a 64-bit Windows Vista computer running Microsoft Office 2003 the following issues arose (note these issues were solved be uninstalling Acrobat). Does anyone have a fix?
1. Microsoft Internet Explorer stopped working - program would not launch.
2. Mouse click disabled - pointer worked but both click buttons disabled.
3. The following dialogue box opens in word when closing Word - Acrobat was not in use at the time, but it was installed on the machine:
"Do you want to save the changes to PDFMCustom?"
The Microsoft Office Program "Word 2003" would freeze at this point.
We need to run Acrobat on this machine - and unfortunately, we need Explorer and Office too, so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I can suggest to try this one:
Found that the file, PDFMOutlook.dll, is the culprit for many of your longstanding woes with the toolbar. A common way to eliminate the toolbar is to unregister the dll. This can be done by going to Start > Run and typing the following:
regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Mail\Outlook\PDFMOutlook.dll”
While this indeed does get rid of the toolbar, it’s not a recommended method as it basically just keeps the file from being loaded when you start Outlook. To return the PDFMaker on the toolbar I’ll recommend that you re-register the dll file. To re-register the file, simply go to Start > Run and type the following:
regsvr32 “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Mail\Outlook\PDFMOutlook.dll”

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Freezes & Shuts Down - I need help.

I am running Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP and recently I started getting messages that say "Please wait while document is prepared for reading" and then AA9 freezes and eventually shuts down. I did 2 repair installations that did not resolve the problem. I need help if anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks.

Try turning off the accessibility feature under the preferences.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.3 - Freezing and crashing system

Updated to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.3 - intermittantly freezing up when opening files. 9.4.2 was crashing system completely. no mention of these problems under support. Why doesn't Adobe have a place where you can just write in your problem? If there is one, where is it?

To force uppercase, enter the following in the change event as JavaScript (make sure JavaScipt is selected in the language dropdown list at the top right):
xfa.event.change = xfa.event.change.toUpperCase();
As you can see in the picture, there are many palettes available on the right side to edit fields. Hope this helps.

My adobe acrobat XI Pro has been constantly freezing when I open documents.

My adobe acrobat XI Pro has been constantly freezing when I open documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, changed some settings based on community threads, nothing is working. I have to close the document, open it back up and wait at least 60 seconds before I can do anything. I use Adobe pdfs for everything this is very bad. I am using MS Office 365, and Adobe CC on Windows 8.1.

Hi Kate,
Please refer to this KB doc. for the solution Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon
Let me know if the issue persist.

I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help! Chris.

I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help! Chris.

It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Freezes when combining documents since update to 9.5.5

Having previously used Adobe Acrobat 9 (version 9.2.0) faultlessly to combine documents into a single PDF I now find that since an update to 9.5.5 the program starts the combining process, then pops up a dialogue box requesting a file name and then freezes at the end of the converting process of the first document. I have tried ignoring the request for a filename (whch never used to come up until the combine process was complete with 9.2.0) but the result is exactly the same. I have to cancel the process and as it just sits there doing nothing. Any suggestions most welcome.

I am using the 'combine' option from the menu and then selecting the 'merge files into pdf'.
This is the way I have always done this and it has never caused a problem before. The documents are Word and Excel documents none of which are password protected.
This problem has only persisted since the software upgraded to version 9.5.5.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro Freezing After Install on Brand New Dell Optiplex 580

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution to an issue I am having.
I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 onto a brand new Dell Optiplex 580 running Windows XP (AntiVirus was not installed yet). When launching, it freezes 3-5 seconds after opening and I need to open Task Manager to kill the process.
I have tried:
Repair install
Deleteing Preferences folder and letting the program recreate it
Manually starting and restarting the FLEXnet service
Running in compatibility mode
Applying the updates for Adobe Acrobat Pro (up to 8.2.4)
Running Adobe without background services
Manually uninstalling and reinstalling
Thanks for your help in advance,
Seth

Another possibility to check is the free space in the TEMP folder. I believe Acrobat uses the TEMP folder for temporary storage. You might even consider increasing the size of the TEMP folder. At least this is something else to check.
