Adobe Reader XI crashes. Is there a fix?

Would like to use Reader XI, especially since support for 9 is gone. But the last time I used XI it crashed upon opening (double-clicking on a document). This did not appear to be a protected view issue. I would like to simply download and try it out again, but do not think I could get 9 back, and 9 works splendidly. Anyone with similar problems? Has the most recent update fixed this?

Windows 7 is the operating system. I haven't gotten as far as using any of the Reader X or XI versions for very long; after the difficulties with XI I reverted to 9 (9.5) and have stuck with it until now. (My needs for pdf files are not very demanding.)
Is 10 likely to be less problematic than 11, assuming it's best to abandon 9 altogether? Perhaps that would be hard for you to say. I gather my problem with 11 isn't unique, but are there common issues that seem to arise among folks that do have a problem with crashes?

  • Adobe Reader keeps crashing on iPad Air

    Not sure if this has already been mentioned by others but my adobe reader keeps crashing every time I pull up any power points since the last update. It is really frustrating since I have so many power points on it from school saved with notes. Is there any way this can be fixed or it in the processed of being fixed in the next update? I have the iPad Air with the latest iOS software. Thank you!

    This is not a problem that we have seen or that others have reported. Can you please share one of the files you are opening by emailing it to [email protected]?
    Thanks!

    Thanks.  I've posted there as well.  Anyone know if there's a workaround to keep reader from crashing with this form, or is my only option to roll back the servers until the creator of the form updates it?
    (I have notified their webmaster of the issue, but who knows how long it will take the state to update the form.)

  • Hi, Adobe Reader XI crashes when I try to connect to a pdf online.

    Hi, Can anyone help, please? Adobe reader XI crashes when I connect to a pdf online. Pre-saved ones still read correctly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader, and reset google chrome, but the problem is still there! What can I try next???

    Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  • Adobe Reader XI crashes while sending message to it

    Hi,
    I found Adobe Reader XI crashes while recieving windows message ( sent from SendMessage api) from another exe. same things used to work fine with Adobe Reader X.
    Any Idea to fix this?
    Regards,
    Arvind

    No knowledge of the problem, but I'd suggest trying to isolate the problem.
    Can you find a single specific Windows message that will reliably crash Reader XI? If so, what are the message parameters in full?

    I would try deleting the program and download it again. Perhaps some part of it didn't download when you originally downloaded it.

  • Installed Adobe Reader X Cannot print. All Fixes futile!

    Have OS Windows XP Installed Adobe Reader X and cannot print. Documents open properly and can be manipulated according to their limitations except I cannot print. Printer is HP Officejet 4500 Wireless. Have converted back to hard connection for this process. Connection not an issue. Everything else except the pdfs will print normally. Printing a pdf elicits no response from the printer. Does not show in queue. Hard attached another older HP printer. It does respond by pulling blank paper thru machine. Have full warranty on HP printer and have been thru detailed process with them. Does not appear to be a printer issue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Tried all the same fixes. Still does not work. Connected to old printer. 
    Printer responded, but did not print.

  • How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    I am running Windows 7 and I needed to create an unprivileged user on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it almost instantly crashes (I can view the document for about three seconds). If I simply open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click Edit -> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF in any browser, it crashes.
    From what I have been able to surmise, it seems that Adobe Reader is trying to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, temporarily giving privileges to my unprivileged user, installing Adobe Reader on that user, and then remove the permissions, but the crash still occurs. The only way to stop Adobe Reader from crashing is to start the program as an administrator or change the account type to administrator. How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    It said "Adobe Reader has stopped working" soon after I opened it, but I was still able to scroll down the document. It was only once I pressed Close Program that it stopped working.
    Upon trying it a second time, it immediately stopped letting me scroll down when the program crashed. Here is the error log, I receive the exact same exception code every time:
    Application Error
    Faulting application name: AcroRd32.exe, version: 11.0.1.36, time stamp: 0x50d0b932

  • Files for Adobe Reader Cause Crash

    Every time I try to open a file for adobe reader, whether I get it embedded in my browser or download it from the internet either Safari crashes or Adobe Reader application crashes no matter what it is. I switched to firefox because Safari kept unexpectedly quitting constantly and it was becoming so frequent that I couldn't even do anything. Any advice on how to get the adobe reader plugin for safari to work(which i did install)? Or how to get any files to work? My friend has this same problem on her iBook, too.

    Hello David:
    First, I would trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart. Then I would uninstall the current Adobe reader you have installed (get all of it) and then download the latest version from the Adobe web site. FWIW, I have no trouble at all with either safari or reading PDF files.

  • Adobe Reader XI Crash On Commenting

    Hello,
    I have a problem with commenting on adobe reader xi (freshly installed, so 11.0.06).
    I can open and read pdfs. However, when I open the comment tab adobe crashes and the pdf closes. As you might imagine, this is very frustrating!
    System: Windows 8.1
    Frequency: every single time
    Is there anything else I can provide? I would really like to fix this.
    Thanks,
    ZippityD
    Edit: If I cancel that initial "reading" or whatever it is adobe prompts me for when opening a document, it didn't crash immediately. Not sure what this means.

    Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Adobe Reader X crashes when connected to Internet

    I have several systems which I've updated to Adobe Reader X.  On *one* of the systems, Reader crashes ~10 seconds after opening it.  This happens whether I open a document or just the application with no document.  Platform is WinXP-32.  There are no error dialogs, the window just goes away.  There's nothing in the WIndows Event log either.
    Using sysinternals procmon, it seems to crash when either 1) reading the IE history (why is it doing that?)  2) due to the response it gets over HTTP.
    Since I saw network activity, I disabled my internet connection and opened Reader X -- it does not crash!
    I've tried:
         -  deleting my IE history and cookies; didn't help.
         - uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling
         - removing Adobe folders in %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data.
         - disabling the auto update feature
    None of which seemed to help.

    I've just deployed this to ~250 system an I'm randomly noticing this problem on a number of systems.  It appears to be happinging mostly on the Windows 7 64-bit systems however I'm seeing it on a few Windows XP systems.
    I tried disabling networking on one system still with no avail.  It did appear to last a little longer before Adobe Reader X went to Not Responding and then crashed.  Because of that I won't post a packet capture however any more info on this will be great.
    UPDATE:  Disabling Protected Mode fixes the problem.  This is accomplished with the following registry key:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
    This however bypasses the new security features that Adobe Reader X provides for you.  I don't know which is worse disabling it or having people complain about reader not functioning......
    For now it looks like 9.x updates is the better corse.

  • Adobe Reader XI crashes when using find (command F)

    I have a Mac with intel 10.9 and Adobe crashes everytime I use find. I get the pinwheel loading symbol and then Adobe ALWAYS crashes. Is there a way I can fix this?

    This problem has not been addressed for a long time.  Every time it happened, I reported it.  Each time I had to start activity monitor and force quit Adobe reader.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader and the problem persisted  
    I did find a bypass.
    Open the Applications folder
    Select Adobe Reader
    Right click and move Adobe Reader to Trash
    Find a PDF file in the finder and double click.
    The PDF file will open in Preview and the Find command will work.
    I will check back periodically to see if Adobe had fixed the problem.  So far I have not found any feature unique to Adobe Reader that I cannot live without
