Adobe Reader X 10.1.0 freezes

we are having issues where users are experiencing reader x freezing. when it freezes, the acrord32.exe is unable to be killed off and the PC needs to be rebooted.
A strange behaviour was when one PC froze, i logged off the user and logged on as my admin account and the acrord32.exe was still running with the guid still visible in the frozen state. had to reboot to free up the application.
When using Reader 9.x.x there were no issues, since introducing Reader X to the fleet of PCs we are getting calls left right and centre.
We run a prodomantly WinXP SP3 but are filtering through Win7 PCs.
What's going on with the stability of Reader with X ???

it varies. mostly when opening a pdf document (regardless from mapped shares, local hdd or emails) but we have seen an increase in when trying to print the PDF document (regardless of printers).
Repair and reboot seems to be resolving most issues but in one case a windows user profile being recreated was the solution.
Still early days though...

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 freezes intermittently on Windows 8.1 when doing "Save As"

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 freezes intermittently on Windows 8.1 when doing "Save As". This occurs when opening a file from Outlook or from the web. I have IE 11 and Microsoft Office 365 installed on a Toshiba Satellite P50. Windows and Office have the latest updates. There are no error messages. I can clear Adobe Reader with Task Manager. Opening the PDF again has the same result in that it may hang or work correctly when doing a “Save As” again. This occurs intermittently when charging the laptop or when on battery.

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Adobe Reader keeps on crashing and freezing my computer

I have Adobe reader 9.4, the latest version, on my computer but even after numerous reinstalls the software continues to cause problems by freezing my computer. I've thought about other problems like viruses or bugs that could be and explanation but I have run scans on my computer which have come up with nothing. My computer does not have that much software running on it and I have checked for issues with those programs but have come up with nothing and still believe Adobe Reader Is the cause.Any advice? Thank You!

Uninstall Reader 9.4 and try the latest Adobe Reader X (10.0).
If you still have problems, please state your operating system and version.

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.03 Freezes After 3 Seconds!

I can't seem to open any PDF files, either in Firefox or from the program itself. I've already tried the recommended solution below and it didn't help at all. So how do I fix this?

Reader and Acrobat Pro freeze on my system for nearly 30 seconds after opening a PDF in either one. I chalk it up to the fact that it's a six year old PC with a 32 bit processor and only 2GB of RAM running Windows 7. After the freeze, I can view or edit PDFs just fine.
Does it eventually unfreeze or does it just "lock up" and stay that way?

Adobe Reader 9.3 PDF's freeze/hang with IE 8 Browser and Vista: Solution Provided

I have been using Internet Explorer 8 well for some time but I am now having repeated difficulty with Adobe Reader 9.3 because PDF's continually freeze or hang up while I am in the browser -- forcing me to close the browser completely.
Incidentally, Resetting IE 8 to its Default settings did not help to prevent the browser from still freezing while trying to read PDF's.
The only way I solved this problem is to uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3 completely, Restart the computer, and then install Adobe Reader 8.2.0 . Now, I have absolutely no difficulty with PDF's freezing or hanging up.
Adobe has simply to debug Reader 9.3 in order to make it more compatible with IE 8 and Vista.....

What I would try if I were in your situation
uninstall your current Adobe Reader;
reboot Windows to make sure that all components are removed;
download this installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded installer.
If the problem reoccurs, and if no-one else in this forum has any better advice, then maybe you should try an alternate PDF reader such as Foxit Reader. (But make sure that you don't install the bundled toolbar!)

My adobe reader 10.1.12 keeps freezing - running osx 10.9.5- help

Adobe Reader keeps freezing and I have to force the application to quit.

Went back to HP.com and this time was able to see and download latest driver and firmware for HP LaserJet P3005dn Installation of new firmware was done thru the HP Printer Utility application on my iMac OS 10.7.5
I was able to choose my printer and then upload the firmware file from the iMac to the printer. This has completely solved the problem!
Thank you ~graffiti Not sure why I was not able to access the driver and firmware earlier from the HP site but eventually I found it.

Adobe Reader 11.0.2 Installation freezes at package scripts

I have been having issues updating my adobe reader from 10.1.4 to 11.0.2
Each time automatic update tried to dowload it an error would say
the "app has been altered from the original installation", or something of that sort.
so I deleted Adobe Reader 10.1.4 hoping it would enable me to download and install
a fresh copy of 11.0.2
I have 2 users on my MacBook Pro using Lion 10.7.5
and have tried installing with both users logged in, one user logged in, then with only
the other user logged in. I have tried deleting the dmg file and redownloading using
a different browser (Firefox and Safari were the two used)
I deleted the dmg file from one user and tried installing it with the other, all with the
same end result:
Installation gets to a "less than a minute remaining" at the
installation of package scripts, and it locks up. The computer fan kicks into high gear
and the "minute remaining" starts to climb. I let it get to 1 hour and 25 minutes remaining
on one attempt, and force quit. I have had to force quit every time I attempt to install.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

I have since downloaded 10.1.4 again, it works, but I still gett an issue with updating as I did before.
Another thing I thought strange was that it was updating to 10.1.6
How do I fix this?

Adobe Reader 9.3.3 Update Freezes on Processing

Freezes on 93.6% and does not proceed further.
This is just running it straight after downloading it from Adobe and also when I run the command switch "-nos_ne" to extract the contents for network customisation.

Try uninstalling, running the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool then re-installing.

Adobe Reader 9 won't work, & freezes computer if opened!

I have Windows 7. Found that I couldn't open a PDF document. Went to open Adobe ---blank window appeared with red box in middle, & whole computer froze. Had to shut down. Recommendations? --- Thanks --- CORY7.

It works on another browser?

Adobe Reader on Toshiba Thrive repeatedly freezing up for 20-30 seconds & then releases.

This is after several months of use with no problems. Is it Adobe or my tablet?

I actually meant I was using Windows 7.
Also, I use the most current of Internet Explorer and of Firefox, as well as Chrome. All of them froze up in the last few weeks when trying to download certain pdfs within them. Also, I downloaded a pdf from an instructor, and it froze both Reader and Acrobat.
I keep acceleration off, often, because laptops have a tendency to lock up with acceleration turned on. But I'll try that again.

Adobe Reader plugin(Acrobat) won't install and Update in FF4

if I try to open FF4 and go to a pdf file Adobe Reader 10 will open then freeze FF4... I then went to Plugin check.. says Adobe Acrobat needs an Update.. I d/l it 3x.. still comes up as needing an upadate after restarting FF4... it just won't take it as a plugin..
I can't open pdf files anymore.. either FF4 is the culprit --I d/l it last month.. or the Adobe 10 update is...
any help appreciated..

Thank you for the video.
The video shows the App Store app that is trying to download and install Adobe Reader for iOS. Adobe Reader for iOS is not even launched at the point. Once we (the Adobe Reader Mobile team) upload a new version of Adobe Reader to the App Store, Apple takes care of the installation & updates of the app (and all other iOS apps) for users.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.6.3 on my iPad running iOS 8.1 but could not reproduce the problem. I suspect that your iPad is in inconsistent state with regard to app updates.
Here are a couple of things that you could try.
Go to the iOS Settings > General > Usage > Managed Storage.
If you see Adobe Reader, tap to go to the next screen. This is to ensure that Adobe Reader is completely uninstalled from your iPad. If you do not see Adobe Reader in the list, skip the rest of the steps.
Tap Delete App to uninstall it.
Go back to the App Store to download and install Adobe Reader again.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Since this is an Apple App Store problem, you would have a better chance of getting answers by asking the question in the Apple support forum.

Good luck.

Version XI of Adobe Reader! HELP

My name is Scarlett with Dr. Indar M Jhamb’s office. I have version XI of Adobe Reader and it is not compatible with my EHR system. I was told by customer support with my EHR that we need to uninstall XI and install 9.5. Please help.

I only have one problem. I can no longer print a pdf from within adobe
reader. My computer completely freezes up and I have to hold down the power
button to restart which no one likes to do. I am running Adobe Reader
11.0.09, Windows 7 with an HP Deskjet 6980. I have tried all the
troubleshooting you have suggested in the forum: I can open Adobe Reader by
itself so I have unchecked the Enable Protected Mode, I have checked for
updates, I have run the "Repair Adobe installation" from within the program
itself. I have even uninstalled 11.0.09 and installed version 10 and I
still have the same problem. I uninstalled 10 and reinstalled 11.0.09, so
that's where I am at this point.

Adobe reader freezws and closes when using pen

how do I correct adobe reader to stop closing and freezing when I use the pen?

Hi There,
Can you please confirm your operating system ? Do you have the full administrative rights ? Are you getting any error when trying to insert Web Object interaction ?
Would like to inform you Captivate 6 onwards interactions have been uploaded on server. Captivate pings this server on a regular basis, If there is any firewall or strict network policy then it might take some time to check the URL or might be result in crash or freeze.
Regards,
Ajit

Adobe Reader XI freezes my computer when I try to print

I cannot print any pdf files. I am running Windows 7 and when I open Adobe Reader XI and try to print a pdf, I get the print dialog box just fine but then when I click "Print," the dialog box comes up to show print progress and at that point everything freezes. I am printing to a wireless printer HP Deskjet 6980. I can't even get Ctl-Alt-delete to get me to Task Manager so I have to hold down the power button and I don't like having to shut down that way.

I have been having the same problem for weeks. I am using Windows 7, Mozilla 33.0.3, and Adobe Reader version XI.0.09. I saw some advice on another site that I relied on in resolving this. You need to open the Reader, to to Edit, click on Preferences. On the Left Hand menu, find "Security (Enhanced)" and open it. If "Enable Protected Mode at Start-up" is active, disable that. "Enhanced Security" is likely already enabled (and you want to leave that on); if not, enable it.
Under "Privileged Locations," make sure both options (Trust documents/Trust sites) are enabled. Then open the box entitled "View Windows Trusted Sites." This will take you to the browser's Security Tab. Click the green arrow "Trusted Sites" and then the "Sites" tab that appears. Add the relevant https://.***.com site from which you wish to be able to print *.pdfs. (Note: It is very important the you make sure to include the secure site, i.e., https..., and not the initial www.***.com site from which you may access the secure site). After you have added the secure address, click Add, then Close the window. Make sure then to Click "OK" to close the Security Tab, and then scroll down to the bottom of the "Security (Enhanced)" page to which you will be returned and click OK there. Close the Adobe Reader and any other Reader windows you may have open.
You can now go to the secure site whose address you just entered, and download the .pdf you want. (If you have already downloaded the .pdf on your computer from that site you can now just open it instead). Send the print command for the pages of the .pdf page you want. The system will hang for a few seconds (at least mine did), but then it prints.
You may be able to go directly to the Security Tab in your browser and enter the secure site in question without going through a pdf document and it will also work but I do not know that for sure.
Finally, I am not an expert; just another user who figured this out with a little help from others. An expert may wish to comment further on what I have written above to provide further guidance or instruction.
Good luck.
Later Note: It is possible to add a non-secure site from which you want to download and open .pdfs to the Trusted Site list. To do this, uncheck the "Require server verification (https://) for all sites in this zone" box that appears under the listed of Trusted Sites. As I am not an expert user I do not know if doing this represents a significant security issue but I at least do not find that is the case after running a cursory search online.

Adobe Reader freezes all browsers when opening a url to a PDF containing form fields...

There is an issue we are currently experienceing with Adobe Acrobat 9 (updated to the latest version) where ALL BROWSERS (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) on each of two different systems (a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX Leopard and a Sony Vaio Laptop with Windows Vista) where the application will freeze up and crash the browser when we view a .pdf file from a url if the .pdf file iteself contains form fields.
At first I though it may have been specific to Mac OSX and this MacBook we were trying to view the document on, but the same issue is now occuring with a new Sony Vaio laptop (running Windows Vista) as well.
It seems like it is able to open .pdf documents containing form fields when they are stored locally, but when trying to access them via a url, the program will freeze up. Sometimes it will eventually work if you had previously opened a .pdf prior to opening it via the url link and sometimes it doesn't. And it seems to only be related to .pdfs containing fillable form fields (others open fine when accessing them by a url)
Obviously it's become quite irratating and I'm hopeing I can find some insight on this support forum as to what may be causing this issue.
Previous versions of Acrobat (installed on the MacBook) opened this very same .pdf file (url) fine before upgrading to version 9.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
