Adobe Acrobat X Pro stopped working again but I think I've spotted something...

Hi Folks.
I am one of those users, Adobe Master Collection CS6, whose Acrobat X stopped working mysteriously a few days back. I followed the discussions on the forums here where others were experiencing it and took the advice on offer to delete cache.db and reenter my serial number. That worked a treat. Until right now, after only a few days of all being well my Acrobat is gone down again .
When I followed the said instructions above, I created a backup copy of my working cache.db file and it is 16Kb in size. Now, looking at my current cache.db file, it is 20Kb in size, so something has happened to it, it's grown in size by 4Kb and I'm wondering if whatever this problem is is related to this extra 4Kb of data which has been added to the file?
Two questions...
1. Is there some way for me to send this file to Adobe so they can take a look at it and see if they can figure out what's going on?
2. Is there a solution to this that works! I don't want to have to keep replacing my cache.db file every few days to keep Acrobat working .

The growth in file size is probably just a side effect of the encryption when it gets locked. You can use the Feature Request/Bug Report Form to report your issue, but there is no guarantees anyone will follow up. Anyway, since this is a frequent issue, I'm sure one of the next updates for AAM is already in the works and will fix it.

My Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard stopped working after I performed an msconfig. I get the following message: "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product..." I installed this on Jan. 7, 2010 and I have since misplaced the disk.
How do I fix the problem?

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro not working (at all) following update

I have been have issues with my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for a few weeks now. It stopped allowing me to view, create and print pdfs a few weeks ago. As I teach part time online at a university- I commonly use pdf's to provide information to my students. I also use pdf's to transfer data back and for from my work computer - for my full time job - to my home computer and back again. Not having this availability is really hindering my work.
My computer runs on Windows 7 with a 64 bit operating system. Up until a few weeks ago I had no problems. I'm thinking an update may have gone through that caused the issues.
In order to reload my full program I had to completely reformat one of my drives which I had remnants of an old adobe version on it- unfortunately, I did not realize that outlook was still pointing to this drive so I lost a lot of data in the long run- needless to say this adobe issue is has been more than just a nuisance to me.
Once the drive was clean- I was able to reload my software for Adobe XI Pro. It worked perfectly after I loaded it. At least I was able to breath a sigh of relief. The next day (yesterday) I was informed that some security updates were needed on the program- considering the age of my disks- It seemed plausible and I received the updates. This evening, as I was setting up my course for winter semester- I tried to open a pdf- and low and behold- I am back where I was- I can't do anything again. What is going on here? I need this program to work- yesterday! Actually I needed it weeks ago when I started realizing I had issues.
There has to be a fix out there for this problem- and I can't be the only one with this problem. I would appreciate any suggestions that anyone has!
Thank you!

Bill-
Thanks for the suggestion- but unfortunately this doesn't work- the reason being is that "Repair" is not option.
I took a snapshot and attached it of what is available for me when I click on Adobe and as you can see- Repair is not an option.
I'm getting to the point of frustration- I will probably uninstall adobe again and refuse to get any updates for it. I honestly do not know what else to do.
Without adobe I can't post assignments for my college students to my website. Winter term starts tomorrow and I am very much behind schedule because of this problem.
I can't be the only person having this issue.
Again- I do appreciate the suggestion. Wish it would have worked.

Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working -again

After many months of pain caused by Bridge CC not working it seemed to be cleared up in Sept '14. (I used just about every fix that was suggested incl. preferences changed to have no program load on startup, managing cache, etc.) I has been working flawlessly until today. My pc notified re: windows updates were ready to install. I cleaned my pc, closed all programs and installed 23 updates. (Win7, 64bit) Updates seemed to install cleanly but Bridge CC will not open and displays a white screen and the msg "Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working" This began immediately after the os updates were installed so I suspected that was the issue. I restored the pc to before the updates and CC will still not open (stopped) and in desperation I tried Bridge CS6. CS6 opened normally and I was able to open a folder. Touching the space bar should have opened the selected file to full screen image but instead I got the same error msg now saying Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working. I have the same programs on my laptop and CC opens and works properly. So that sounds like my pc and not Bridge is the problem but there is an incompatibility somewhere and I am stuck and my work is piling up as I speak. I need my bridge back!

This problem has been solved by Microsoft, rebuilt Win7. I would like to delete my question to reduce clutter here but I don't know how to delete it. A moderator may delete this if they wish or someone can add to my reply and instruct me. Thanks!

Adobe Acrobat X Pro Not Working, InDesign is Finicky

I purchased CS6 a little while ago and now Adobe Acrobat X Pro is not working at all. This is a major problem because I cannot access PDF files, which is the file type I use most. Also, InDesign doesn't save my files correctly and sometimes just shuts down without notice. I use those two programs the most so I'm not too sure what problems the other programs potentially have. This same problem happened to my co-worker and she was emailed new download codes and now CS6 works perfectly for her.

Hello emthree

Acrobat XI pro stops working

Hi,
I am a paying user of Acrobat XI Pro. It stopped working a few days ago though.
By stopped working I mean everything: when I open na archive, it stops working. When I try to create a new pdf, it stops working. When I try to merge a new pdf, it stops working.
I tried to fix the problem, by clicking in "help" and then in "fix the installation" (translation to english may be incorrect, since I don't use the english version, sorry about that), and it worked for a few files, but the problem returned later.
I tried to unistall the Acrobat, to reinstall it, but it just made my computer to stop entirely. It doesn't uninstall.
Any help?

That means you should be running 11.0.09. If you can open Acrobat, use Help>Repair. With the uninstall issue, you may need to run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html before rebooting and installing. Also, log in as the administrator and disable anti-virus.

Hi grinolot,
This seems to be licensing issue to me.
Please try the following steps and let me know if that helped:
Delete all the files from following folders:
C:\PrgroamData\Adobe\SLStore
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache
And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ Adobe PCD
Then launch Acrobat, Accept EULA and enter the serial number again.

Acrobat X Pro stop working on CS6 and requires a new serial number

Hello all! I faced this problem several times running Window 8 Professional 64Bits. For a reason which I could not understand, in a certain momment Acrobat X Pro, installed under the CS Design & Web Premium package, stop working. It simplys could no longer be launched. I click on the Acrobat icon, or run it mannualy by the command window, and it is like it does not exist. The hard drive light blink a litle bit and stop with no error message. I have already tried to unisnstall the Acobat using the CS6 uninstall interface, reboot the computer and install it again, using the CS6 interface and under the new installation Acrobat is recognized as a stand alone software and request me a new Acrobat serial number. The new installation did not recognize the CS6 serial number.
The only action that has worked in the past is remove completelly the CS6 and reinstall the full package again. I would not like to do it since I have my dreamweaver full loaded of servers configurations and it will take a long time to recover all environment as it is now.
Therefore I decided to ask for help. Does anyone could give me any idea how to turn around this?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard Stopped working correctly

I have a legal licensed version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard that has worked fine for several years. Suddenly and possibly after one of the not so helpful updates, I can no longer delete, insert or extract pages. The delete option shows but is grayed out and the other options do not even show as a possibility anymore. I tried: repair, reinstall, deleting all version and reinstalling but nothing has helped. I truly need this function. Contact with Adobe directly and there answer was "ask someone who can help" (ok a paraphrase for sure but basically they said go ask the community). Nice right? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

They never responded and I found no thread providing me with a fix. I wound up having to pay for the newest version.

Scanning problem - "Adobe Acrobat 9 has stopped working", Windows 7 OS

Hi all,
First post in the forum - Adobe has always come through for me before but I'm having problems that I can't solve by myself this time. When I try to scan documents into Adobe Acrobat 9 the scan completes (all the documents are drawn through) but when it attempts to progress to ask me whether there are any documents left to scan it crashes. There's no specific error message; Adobe just shuts itself down.
I'm using Windows 7 and an IR2800 Canon printer-scanner combo to scan the documents. I downloaded the latest driver for the scanner earlier from Canon's website and am at a complete loss as to what the problem might be.
I would very much appreciate any help rendered.
Regards,
Chris

Sorry, I'm a doofus! Sorted it out, was a problem with the Network Scangear (I had an old version)
