HELP!  Adobe Acrobat X Pro won't open

I have Adobe Creative Suite 6 and it comes with Acrobat X Pro.  It won't open anymore.  If I uninstall and reinstall it, it works fine.  But after a while, it stops working again.  When trying to open a PDF file or launch just program itself, nothing happens at all.  Not errors, no pop-ups.  I see the process open then close immediately in the Task Manager.  I have installed Adobe Reader just so I can open PDF files, which works.  However, I cannot use Acrobat for the more advance features. 

Hi chthao,
How frustrating! Since you got Acrobat as part of CS6, let's start with the troubleshooting tips in this document: Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Edna,
    It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X.  Choose Edit > Preferences > General.  Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu.  Click Apply, then OK.
    Restart your computer.  Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

  • 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)?

  • Acrobat X Pro won't open.  Even after a reinstall - what can I do?

    My Acrobat X Pro won't open - even after a reinstall.  What can I do?

    Thanks Jeff - what's strange is that I've been prompted a few times since installation to register the software, so I don't know why it would be doing that if it's already registered.
    When prompted, I would follow the links to the registration information page, and then work through the registration process, and then when prompted to enter the serial code it does not accept it. I've tried the serial code that came with the license, as well as the serial codes for the individual products (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.), and none of those were accepted by the registration form. So "registering to an account which includes your companies information would be sufficient." does not seem to be working for me, unless there is more to "including the companies information" then I've seen in the sign up pages.
    To be clear, I'm not fumbling around blindly here, I've done a lot to try and register the product myself and have yet to succeed.
    My questions are these (and apologies if this is not directly related to the OT), 1) is there a way to confirm the product is registered, 2) if it is not registered, what specifically do I need to tell the purchasing people to do to make sure it is registered properly, and 3) after following the process here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html - does this fix the Acrobat issue for good, or will I have to repeat this process in another 30 days? Does lack of registration potentially affect other products in the Web and Design Creative Suite?
    Thanks again for the assistance, I'm hoping to get enough information to be able to give our IT folks a clear resolution to the registration issue.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro won't convert Publisher docs to PDF

    Are you using the File-Print function, and selecting the Acrobat printer?

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro won't install

    I recently purchased the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for windows and when I open the disk and insert it into my computer, the computer ejects the disk out without reading and installing it.
    Can someone please help me?

    Sounds like you need to check with the vendor or try the download (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html). You will still need the key.

  • CS3 - Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro will not open

    My computer crashed and I had to rebuild it.  I am reinstalling all programs on new hard drive.  Photoshop CS3 opens. And I have registered it...again.  I cannot get Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro to open.  It came with CS3.  I have been using it for a few years.  Can you help?

    first, clean out all traces of acrobat 8 pro (win):  http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/manually-remove-acrobat-8-windows.html
                                                                      (mac): http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/manually-remove-cs2-mac-osx.html
    then re-install.  do you have a good install disc or download?

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro does not open after installing CS6

    I successfully installed CS6 & Web Premium package. I found I could not open .pdf files so I reloaded Adobe Reader X and now realize I cannot open Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create .pdf files. Reinstalled Acrobat again this evening, restarted computer but same issue (Acrobe Acrobat X Pro - it does nothing when I try and open it). What am I missing? any insight is soooo appreciated!

    After installation of the CS6 suite, everything worked great.  I am not sure the time frame it took to notice the problem in Acrobat X Pro the first time as the user does not use it everyday, but the program would not open.  PDF files would only open if you chose to open them in Acrobat Reader and would not open in Acrobat X Pro.  There were no error messages nor were there any error logs in the event viewer.  The program just would not open.  If that user logged out of Windows and I logged in, the program would open but only for a brief period and then would close without warning and never open again. 
    I checked the dates and from the time that I last fixed the error addressed in this thread until it happened again was exactly 30 days which would make me think that the trial would end but it is actually not a trial.  It is a licensed suite. 

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro won't launch

    I have installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro as part of Creative Cloud.
    Right after downloading and installing Acrobat will launch just fine.  After a few days it will not launch and will only create a process in windows task manager.
    Any help please.
    I am running Windows 7, and I only purchased Creative Cloud 2 weeks ago, so it have been less than the 30 days trial period.
    Thanks

    All I can suggest at this point is to go to Control Panel>Programs & Features and click on Acrobat. You will get an option to repair. When you have finished with the repair (assuming it works), then go to Help>Updates and update your installation. You can also download the update from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install 11.0.06. Last I checked, 11.0.06 will update all the way back to 11.0. This is not always the case, so looking at the last version that is needed to do updates is always a good idea.

  • Acrobat X Pro won't open at all after installing on new computer. Please help! It is from the CS6 Suite

    Hi, Can anyone help me? I had to change my computer, so I re-installed my whole CS6 Suite. Everything works except my Acrobat X Pro... It won't even open!! I am using a Windows 7 PC ... I even had Dell try and help me... the only thing they where able to do was help me be able to see .pdf docs in Reader! But I can't open a document, or create one, block sensitive info, nothing!

    Hi Lisley56, I found the solution there is a Plug in for Acrobat X Pro that came with Adobe Suite CS6... I downloaded it and that did it!!! It's called "Acrofix". Try looking it up in the Adobe website!!! I hope it works!!

  • Adobe Acrobat 8.0 won't open any more.

    I have a registered version of Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Pro (with the Creative Suite) running on a computer with Windows 7. Until today it worked fine and since checking for updates it will no longer work - the program won't even open. The other programs all work fine. I also noticed that 8.0 is not eligible for an upgrade. How can I get Acrobat opening and running again? I've tried everything that I've seen on here including deactivating other programs and reactivating and running the repair.

    Hi miss_patrish,
    We do not recommend to use to Acrobat 8.0 on windows 7. I would suggest you should upgrade to latest version of Acrobat.
    Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the Acrobat 8.0?
