Why does Adobe Acrobat 11 freeze computer?

Downloaded docs. that I try to ad text to freeze up my computer. When I click ad text and try to enter a change the cursor disappears and the computer freezes. I have to hold the power switch and do a re boot. This only happens with downloaded docs. I have an HP Pavillion G6 with Windows 7.

Hi, I can't do anything with those docs.  As soon as I try anything the computer freezes. Example: I click on file, print it freezes or I try to ad text it freezes. These docs are downloads from various sites like the NJ department of labor or consumer affairs. This includes docs. that are not new but I've had for some time. I'd try to attach one but there's personal info and I can't delete it.
In the meantime I'll try an update. I think I have 11.0.09. The strange thing is that everything worked fine one day last week and it went back to freezes. Thanks, John

  • Why does Adobe Acrobat now control the photos on my pc?

    Why does Adobe Acrobat now control the photos on my pc?

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply.
    After I downloaded Acrobat, Adobe Reader tries to control viewing of my photos.  When I plug my digital camera into the PC, all the files are labeled “PDF”; the files still have the .jpg extension, though.  For photos on my PC, when I try to open them, Adobe reader insists on opening them, but it can’t, and I get the message:
                “Adobe Reader could not open photo.jpg because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged”
    I attached several photos to an e-mail that I sent after downloading Acrobat, and I could not open the photos before sending the e-mail (in order to verify that they were the correct photos before I sent the e-mail).  Adobe Reader was my only option when I clicked “open” to view a photo, and it would not open the photo.
    I assume that I did something during the Acrobat download process that has caused this situation.  My plan is to uninstall Acrobat and then re-install it and this will hopefully remove this situation.
    Any suggestions you have about this situation would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why does Adobe Acrobat XI 11.0.07 take 2 minutes to load a Brother Scanner Interface dialog?

    Just updated OS X to 10.10 (Yosemite), on a MacBook Pro Retina (i7 processor, 8 GB) today.
    Now, after having trouble, so uninstalled & reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.07), I'm further delayed each time I try to scan.
    In the past, I've used the menus in Acrobat to scan:  File / Create / PDF from Scanner.
    This immediately shows the first of two dialog boxes:  ADOBE SCAN, where I select Brother TWAIN as the input, scan to a new PDF document, no OCR, not PDF/A, not Optimized) and click Scan.
    This brings up the second dialog box (BROTHER TWAIN), which sets resolution, color or black / white, and page size.  This second dialog box used to appear right away - now there is always a 2 minute delay, before the 2nd dialog box appears, during which time the system is responsive but Acrobat appears non-responsive.
    So, why the 2 minute delay?

    I'd like to add that I'm having the exact same issue, which started after the Acrobat 11.0.09 upgrade in Yosemite.  The previous version of Acrobat worked just fine in Yosemite.
    I have a Brother ADS-1500W, and the same symptoms as the OP, which are:
    I click File > Create PDF from Scanner
    I get the Adobe scanner window, where I input my settings.
    I click "Scan", then have a 1-2 minute wait before my actually scanner input window comes up.
    I'm a creative cloud subscriber, how can I downgrade to 11.0.0?
    EDIT: (Temporarily?) Fixed
    I saw another brother user report that updating their scanner drivers directly from Brother fixed the issue.  I downloaded the latest printer drivers directly from Brother here, (version 3.10.0, released on 10/23/2014) and the transition from the Adobe to the Brother/OSX scan dialogue is once again instant. Other users have reported that the fix goes away on restart, so I'll see if I can avoid restarting until Adobe/Brother comes up with a more permanent fix.

  • Why does Adobe Acrobat X Pro crash?

    I use MACOSX and installed Adobe Design Standard CS 5.5. Other programs on that package (e.g. Photoshop works well). But, I have not been able to use Acrobat. It opens for a few seconds and abruptly closes. Info on the internet suggested an updated but it doesn't even open, I don't know how it can update.

    You could try to download the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
    If that does not fix your issue, you should ask in the Acrobat forum.

  • Why Does adobe Acrobat keep crashing?

    Acrobat keeps crashing when trying to print documents and the only fix that I have found so far is to uninstall and reinstall the program.  Does anyone know why this keeps happening?

    X Pro is the version that I am using.  We have 64 bit windows as well.  I updated the installation after each time I have to reinstall it but it still from time to time crashes.  Then it will not allow me to reopen any PDF documents. 

  • Why does Adobe constantly wants to Update itself?

    Why does Adobe Acrobat Reader constantly wants to Update itself by presenting an irritating dialog box that asks the user to update?
    It's just a document reader - how many times do you want to update it? Why aren't all bugs/features added before it is released?
    If you really want to update everyday, why can't you do it on the sly?

    The latest version is 9.3.1 and it's been out for a little while now.
    Your update didn't go right, or it would recognize the latest version and the updater would shut down before asking you to update.
    Try uninstalling Reader and downloading the latest build. I doubt it will be asking you to update all the time after thet.

  • Why does adobe photoshop elements 6.0 not show up for a download choice of putting my photos into my computer, I'm on windows7.  I'm sure it did when I first got my computer.  Could it be that I have lots of other photo software that may be interfering?

    If you open the Organizer and go to Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader, do you have Auto Launch Adobe Photo Downloader on Device Connect checked?
    Try checking that if you don't.

  • Why does adobe try to force Google Chrome on to my computer and a Google Toolbar! Thats is fasist!

    also why does adobe require so many updates! why can't they get it right the first five hundred time i update it!
    why cant i update or down load with out having to get google tool bar to be spyied on? WTF? And Google Chrome if i wanted Google Chrome i down load it directly!
    Google collecting and storing information is an invasion of privacy! If Adobe is so free thinking and so advanced, ask if we want ******** toolbars downloaded it sucks when you think your down loading something and get a new webpage and toolbars. Dont do business this way. Its arrogant & ignorant

    Adobe never installed anything on my computer I didn't want.  You can always uncheck bundled software that is offered with the standard downloads, or use the offline installers that are not bundled with any 3rd party software.

  • Why does Adobe force you to install a "cloud" program before they will activate Acrobat Pro?

    Why does Adobe force you to install a "cloud" program before they will activate Acrobat Pro?

    If you are referring to the Cloud desktop application, that replaced the Adobe Application Manager (AAM) which is what would previously have been installed instead.

  • Why does Adobe Reader do not print in English on my computer ?

    I go a e-mail from honeywell company with an attachment.  Why does Adobe Reader transform the e-mail from English to some other languge?

    Hi Margaret,
    I'd like to help! Would you mind sharing a bit more detail? What language does it appear to be? Has this happened with other PDF's? When you installed it - did you select English as the language?
    Looking forward to your response.
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers?

    Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers?  I have to log in to a website to get our orders, and we thought it was the website at first, but have since realized it is just my computer with this issue.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and still it does not work. 

    You ask "why", but don't provide any information...
    What is your operating system?
    What is your web browser?
    Are you asking about Adobe Reader or Acrobat?
    What is your Reader / Acrobat version?
    What exactly means "will not load"?

  • Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work?

    Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work? I wasted about 8 hours on trying to get Adobe Send to upload 269 files that amounted to 469MB. When it did not work I made a zip file and after a lot of wasted run time that did not work. The first situation gives little indication of when a file is loaded compared to Adobe SendNow. In both cases with Send it failed with a message like only the first 50 can be loaded. When I went and looked none of them had been loaded. With the zip file (I wanted to hide the individual files so they would not be counted) it appeared to work but very slowly and finally said it was done and I went and looked and it had done anything for oever 2 hours except a false "I'm runninng" indication.
    Thus, I took a chance with Adobe SendNow and it works great. It never gave me a limit on the amount of files nor on the size of the complete job. It shows me one file at a time when it has finished with the file uploading it. SendNow has never given me any problems.
    Why woiuld you want to change the program from SendNow to Send without the newest program being the best, fastest, user friendly program of the two? It just doesn't make sense to me. I suggest that Adobe keep SendNow working until Send is fixed. I would also suggest that SendNow and how it looks be kept, called Send, then modify Send one thing at a time until you get it to the point you need it to be for Acrobat. I have heard nothing good and now I have experienced it that Send is a piece of junk. I wasted most of my work day on giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt to find out I made a very bad decision to trust Adobe to make good decisions on the transfer of a function to another place .... both Adobe's responsibility.without making it painless for your customers that totally rely on you. Don't throw away customer confidence as it is very hard to get it back.

    Funny how you answer to "troll". (What's your handle on AT&T forums?)
    Yep! Verizon living up to it's contractual obligations by not releasing updates. Caveat emptor!
    I think there are some reasonable expectations here to keep customer's happy. When one carrier offers upgrades there is an expectation the same will happen across all the carriers. We have seen that except Big Red.
    Verizon could have said the update is in MS court months ago and stilled the voice of the disgruntled, or at least redirected it, but instead chose to be silent. Not for market share but for partial blame I think.
    We will have to agree to disagree since you only see Terms & Conditions and I, see customer satisfaction.
