Adobe Acrobat 9 Freezes

I have a porblem where acrobat 9 freezes when opening a pdf. What I have have managed to pick up ios that it is also not happy using roaming user accounts on MAC OS X 10.5.6
I have an Xserv server and 3 Mac Workstations as soon as I log into the workstation with the local admin account Acrobat works but as soon as I log in using my network account with admin privelages it hangs
Now has any one els experienced this sam problem and have you been able to find a work around to it.

Windows users experience the same thing. Roaming users do not seem to be
supported in Acrobat 9. If this is a problem you wish fixed:

Adobe Acrobat freezes on Thinapp 5.1

Hi.

Adobe Acrobat build with Thinapp 5.1.1 haven't this bug.

Adobe Acrobat FREEZE

Ever since I archive & install my iMac, my Acrobat 7.0 Professional freezes my iMac. I can't view PDF files at all.
I've tried to reinstall my CS2, but the installer says I already have programs so I can't install.
Please help!!!

I followed the 1st link to the Versiontracker page you provided above and saw a post on that page from a User stating it was not for Standard or Pro. I then followed links from Versiontracker to the Adobe website.
The Adobe website shows an update to Acrobat Reader listed as version 7.0.8 found on this page;
Adobe Reader for Macintosh
and only updates for Acrobat Standard and Pro for version 7.0.7 found on this page;
Acrobat for Macintosh
>You don't what you're talkin' about
Why the need for you to appear angry and rude, I posted the FYI strictly based on info available from Adobe's site and am certainly open to the possibility of new and more accurate info from Adobe. I do make mistakes, but usually do know what I am posting about.

Adobe Acrobat Pro freezing on duplex printing

In adobe acrobat pro X when printing 2 or more pages duplexed on a Canon iR-adv c5045/5051 adobe acrobat freezes and crashes and the job never makes it to the printer, on adobe reader x free edition this is not hte case and prints without a problem. any information on this would be great. thanks

You mean there is an entry in the dock that doesn't work but it works OK from LaunchPad or Applications? Sounds as if you have an old or out of date thing in the dock. Just remove it and put the working Acrobat back. The dock is ENTIRELY under your control; Acrobat doesn't put itself there or remove itself.

Adobe Acrobat X pro Freezes

I am currently having a ver frustrating issue, anytime I atempt to open up a meduim sized file form a network drive Adobe Acrobat freezes and must be forced to close, I have moved the file off the network drive to the local machine and Acrobat still freezes when trying to open. I have already had to reinstall adobe acrobat to fix an issue before, This is on a windows xp machine. wondering if i might have to do it again. any ideas?

Hi Sukrit,
I replied to your email 2 weeks ago with no feed back. This surely not a good support from a company like adobe.
From: Abraham Faltas Sent: Friday, 20 February 2015 09:41 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs] I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Windows 7 pro 64 bit. Once I open a pdf it freezes after about half a minute. Have to end program.
It happens with all PDF. It also happens if I open the program without out a pdf open.
Tried the repair.
Update, it tells me that there is no updates available (see attached).
I uninstalled the program and reinstalled, still have the same problem. .
Appreciate a resolution ASAP

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 9.5.5 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.
Cheers,

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.

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 9.0 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.

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.

Trying to print freezes adobe acrobat 9 pro

The user had 6.0 pro when you click on print or print setup adobe freezes for 3-4 min then it would come up and print. I did (I thought I did) a complete uninstall and installed 9.0 pro but the problem still exsists. Thanks for any responses.

I have the same damn problem. Win 7, latest u
pdates, Acrobat Standard 9 latest updates, lots of ram, etc. Never a problem before w/Acrobat freezing when I
select it as a printer. I suspect this is adobe issue despite your requests
for specs on the computer.
