Adobe Acrobat Pro will not open

I recently purchased and installed some programs from the creative suite on my computer. All worked well for a few months but now for some reason adobe acrobat refuses to open. I have tried using the "Open PDF with..." option as well as opening from the start menu. Nothing seems to happen; no error message or anything it just does not open.
I am running windows 7 64-bit os on a lenovo w530 laptop. The computer is almost new and lighting fast so it's not an issue of just being really slow.
I would uninstall, clean, and reinstall but I'm not sure where the install file is and I believe I installed all of the creative suite at once.
Anybody have any ideas?

This is the Reader forum; the Acrobat one is here:

Adobe acrobat pro will not open 3 weeks after installing design web pro?

I installed Design web premium on my computer and all programs work and adobe acrobat pro worked for 3 weeks and now it will not open. I am at a loss. Help!!!

If Acrobat will open, go to Help>Repair to try to fix it. If not, go to Control Panel>Programs & Preferences and update from there. After the update, go back to the help menu and do the updates.

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

My Acrobat Pro will not open my PDF Files any suggestions?

My acrobat pro does not open, anyone else out there with the same problem?

Sherbear2359 (I believe that the US has the right to arm bears so I will be very nice.)
My Adobe Acrobat stopped opening pdfs. Now in the past it was Windows 8.1 playing tricks by thinking that the Adobe software was a trial which expired
Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite Tried it and it worked.
Tried the fix again now no change.
I suspect that a Microsoft patch stuffed it up. They have had a few problems.
I used Reader with open with but I want pdf to be opened by Adobe.
Thanks

I wanted a solution to the problem I was having on Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 in that links on an open Adobe Acrobat file will not open in my Firefox Browser 33.0.2. The Error I receive is "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown Error. (123)"

Adobe Acrobat XI will not open

The recent install of Adobe Acrobat XI has not worked to date. I get a fail to open error when launched that says there is a missing .dll!
I will return with the dll but in the meantime I hope someone will help me. I have uninstalled my old Acrobat 7 Pro, Photoshop 7, Flash CS4, and InDesign CS2 so there would be no clutter. Now I have digital signage customers on hold and nobody from Adobe can be reached!

My Win 7 Ultimate OS tries to install it from the shortcut that was entered from the download and automatic install by AAM. Below is what I get.
I believe it was corrupted in the download and further corrupted by the first update that same day.
Thank You David for your help

Hi,
Adobe Reader / Acroabt support for Windows 7 begins with release 9.2 of Reader / Acrobat.
Adobe states that earlier releases may install / function but were not tested in Windows 7.

Adobe XI Pro will not open

Hello, every time I try to open adobe I get an error stating " a program has caused the program to operate correctly, Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Using Windows 8.1 web browser Pale Moon. I have been running this program for a year with no issues. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, using acrofix.... I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Thanks for the quick reply. No I cannot use it as a stand alone program.
Every time I click on the shortcut it opens and within seconds I get that
error. I cannot even get it to stay open long enough to try to get to the
help bar. I'm using the lastest 11.0.06 version. I can open XI reader and
open a document- not sure if that helps you.

Safari 4 and Adobe Acrobat 9 will not open after Apple updates

Was wondering if anyone had any solutions to these issues. Thank you.

This is an installation issue, so I suggest posting to that forum. BTW, no issues launching either here.

Acrobat Pro will not install

Okay, excuse my lack of patience. But I have now called Adobe customer servic (in India, and I'm in the U.S.) three times now, and I have not resolved this issue! I am a Creative Cloud member, and my Adobe Acrobat Pro will NOT work. On top of that, the Adobe Application Manger is $%@ useless. I get errors constantly. I'm on Mac OS 10.8.1. My other Adobe software works. But Acrobat Pro has not worked at all since I purchase Creative Cloud a few months ago. At any point, if Adobe would like to fix this issue, that would be great. Like I said, I've already called three times in the last two months. And the low level tech support guys are useless. I spend an hour or two on the phone with them and the issue is NOT resolved.

So, it totally appears as if it was a network issue. The corporate network where I work is quite likely the culprit. Where I was thrown off is that since I have admin rights on my computer, I can install software. But using Adobe Application Manager to install Adobe software wasn't working. And to make matters worse, there didn't appear to be any way to install Acrobat Pro for Mac without using AAM. The workaround that I used previously was to install the trial versions of Adobe software, and then just register them using my username and password. But the workaround for being able to install everything using AAM was to bring my computer home and download from my home network. Unfortunately, Adobe tech support didn't suggest this during the three times that I called them. But it doesn't matter now, problem is resolved.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8. It worked until 2 days ago, now it won't do anything. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no luck.

32 or 64 bit system? Have you updated Acrobat? Was anything else installed between when it worked and did not? When you say AA 9 will not open, does that mean when you have selected it in the programs list (OK, that is the metro interface if you have not installed the desktop options -- 3rd party)?

Hi rockyroad99,
You need to provide more information.
What is the error you are getting when you are trying to open the downloaded file?
Which OS are you using?
Have you tried re-downloading the file from a different browser and checked?
