Why does Adobe Reader 11.2.1 for Android keep crashing?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet and have successfully been reading, highlighting and annotating my pdf course books for 6 months but the latest update keeps crashing. I have precious study time on my journey to work and have now lost over a week so am very unhappy. What is wrong with it? I have reinstalled about 4 times and no joy. it will display the bookmarked page but no others. I tried giving it time but it renders a max of 6 pages. I have redownloaded the book but same problem, and obviously that doesn't help as my notes are In the previous file. Suggestions,  or preferably a fix, urgently needed as I am now behind in my study with an exam looming!!

Hello,
I will answer each of your points in order:
No, the issue is not related to Kitkat as I am not on that level of Android.
The path to my document is /storage/sdcard0/SD329/ebook_sd329_book3_e1i1_n9781780073378_l3.pdf.
No, this is happening with other pdfs. I have tried just one chapter and also a fresh download of the same book (it was downloaded from my university website). The smaller file is more successful, I could highlight and annotate the file, but when moving through the book by more than a page at a time, ie. Using the scroll bar, the pages then fail to display and are blank. This is more prominent on the larger file, the whole book. It's as though I am reading the document on a website and the whole book is being downloaded each time I move through.
It crashes when I move round the document. I would read one page then move to ther next which is blank, I could go back to the page I had just read and that's now blank.
I use the highlighting tool, underline and free text pen. They would be selected from the menu at the top of the screen.
Reader crashes when moving through the document. It is as though the whole documenf is downloaded each time a page is displayed which I would not expect to happen as the document is stored on my tablet. The display of the next page is often slower than the time it takes me to read the a page.
I can't email the file as it is too large.  I found this out when I tried to send it to my university computer helpdesk.
Asmi mentioned previously I have successfully read and annotated this file over the previous 6 weeks with none of these issues.  I was able to moce freely through the document, both by single pages and by the scroll bar or go to and had no delay I displaying the pages. The only change has been the upgrade.
Thanks

  • Why does Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4.63) keeps crashing in Win7?

    After a few seconds after opening a PDF document or launching the application, it crashes and provides the error below. I've already uninstallaed and reinstalled the application but the same thing happens.
    I also followed the step in the community discussion http://forums.adobe.com/message/5360426#5360426 but I could not even keep the application running long enough to access the settings and accepting the EULA didn't  worked either.
    Please can someone provide assistance if you have similar issues?

    Not sure if this will fix it, but here are some things you could try...
    Update to 11.0.5
    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

    Why does Adobe Reader change my icons to pdf?

    For the "why", you'd have to ask Adobe. If you are looking for a solution, this may be helpful:

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

    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.

  • Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out now, rather than actually scroll?

    Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out rather than actually, um, scroll? I can't find anywhere to change this function in Preferences, either.

    I had the same problem on my Windows 8 touch screen laptop.  It was driving me crazy! Every time I tried to scroll a page down, the program would zoom the page!  Made reading an ebook difficult.
    I finally found the solution:
    Under Edit select Preferences - General
    Uncheck "Make Hand Tool Use mouse-wheel zooming".

  • Why does adobe reader 11 not allow you tube videos to be viewed on my MAC?

    Adobe reader does not allow me to view you tube videos on my MAC.  Why?

    Every time I install the newest version, for whatever reason, if I want to watch a video, I get a missing plug in message.  I don't get the usual "allow or deny" message with it, it just won't allow me to view the video.  I watch a lot of art lessons on line and participate in blogs and this becomes very frustrating.  The odd thing, is that when I un-install Adobe 11, I can view the videos but, of course, then I can't download PDF files.  The weird thing is, other people in my neighborhood are having the same issue and don't know what to do about it.  I may just download an earlier version of Adobe because I didn't have this issue until I updated it some months back.  Maybe my 6 year old MAC can't handle the technology even though I am running on the latest Safari version?

  • Why does Adobe Reader 9.5.0 open pdf created by Excel, but not with Reader X.

    We have a number of pdf's that open 100% with Adobe Reader 9.5.0, but not with Reader X.
    On Reader X, the message “A Number is out of range” is shown and the image is corrupted.
    The image was created using “File SaveAs PDF” from Excel (Office 2007), with “Standard” optimization.
    For interest, if the same “File SaveAs PDF”  from Excel (Office 2007) is used, but with “Minimum Size” optimization set, then the resulting pdf opens perfectly with both Reader 9 & X.
    Distressing that a new version does not work where previous version did.

    HI
    Sorry, my first time posting and I don’t seem to be able to attach the problem pdf to my posting.
    Example of problem file attached. Opens in 9.5.0 but not X

  • Why does adobe Reader XI ask to download Flashplayer when trying to open an Portfolio.pdf document?

    Hello Everyone
    I have a user that created a portfolio in Adobe X Pro. When they send this out to user and they try to open it with the Adobe Reader XI or Reader X it asks them to download the lates Flashplayer.
    All our systems have the latest flashplayer install.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You
    Dave

    I just have to add my 2 cents. While I'm sure this change in program has some benefit for Adobe, to me it's horrible for the end user and makes Adobe look bad. In my organization's case, we have about 400 systems, of which only about 40 have the Flash Player Plugin installed. Which means 90% of our systems do not currently have what's needed to open these documents. Now we will need to start rolling out both version of Flash Player. Not a huge deal with Kace, but it's still a potential point of failure and extra headache.
    While IE's usage stake has diminished greatly, they're still a big player. However, in IE you only get to the "plugin" version if you tell it you're looking for a different browser. The regular IE user says "I only use IE, so why would I want the plugin for a browser I didn't install?" If the plugin version is the "full" version, then maybe you should consider having one installer that includes both ActiveX and the plugin.

  • Why does Adobe Reader installer require access to My Documents?

    I was trying to install Adobe Reader 9 on a system and was unable to complete because it was unable to find the My Pictures folder on a now non-existent network share. The user the installer was running as has their My Documents (Including My Pictures) redirected to a working share. I don't know where it was looking to find the path it couldn't find. Why the dependence on My Documents? I tried installing Adobe Reader 6 (they were running Adobe Acrobat 5 still) and it ran into the same problem trying to find My Documents.
    I finally gave up and installed Foxit Reader which is working for them.

    It is not recommended that Reader and Acrobat be installed on the same
    computer. Lots of errors and other difficulties. Your errors may be one
    of them.

  • Why does Adobe reader on iPad lock unlocked pdf files on move from computer

    I Have copied several pdf files, which I have made, from my laptop to my iPad. On my laptop they are unlocked and I can Add text etc. On the iPad they become locked and I cannot do this. Why? How do I stop this so that's can have u locked pdf files on my iPad.

    Rbradford,
    Did you add document restrictions or an "Open Password" protection to your PDF documents?  When you add any of document security features to a PDF document, it will be encrypted.
    Currently, Adobe Reader mobile products do not support adding annotations to encrypted PDF documents or filling out encrypted PDF forms, for example.
    To check whether your PDF document is encrypted
    Open your PDF document in the desktop version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro.
    Select File > Properties... from the menu.  (Or press Command+D for Mac, Control+D for Windows.)
    Select the Security Tab.
    Click the Show Details... button (if enabled).
    Check the last entry in the Document Security dialog.
    If this is not the case, please send one of your PDF documents to [email protected] and include the link to this forum post (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1593031) in your email message for reference.
    We will inspect the PDF document and diagnose the cause of the problem.  Thank you.

  • Why Does Adobe Reader download button  launch windows Media Player?

    I want to download an owners manual for my dishwasher. When I go to the mfg. site and locate the PDF file and click it to 'run' or 'save' (to desktop), Windows Media Player  launches. What's going on?? Please respond soon and thanks. Steve   Win 7, IE 10, Reader 11

    That sounds like your file association for .pdf files is hosed; you need to assign it to Adobe Reader instead of Media Player: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs#1TC=windows-7

  • Why does Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player keep installing McaFee Security Scan on my system?

    Whenever I install the Adobe Flash player or Adobe Reader on my system, it downloads and installs McAfee Security Scan Plus at the same time. It does not ask if I want it or not, it instead forces it on me, so I have to then unistall it. I've unistalled it 3 or 4 times in the last week. I DO NOT WANT MCAFEE PRODUCTS on my computer!
    Please make this an option, give the users a choice so we don't have to keep removing the stupid thing.

    Did you 'Uncheck" the relevant box pointed by the red arrow ? If not you accepted the installation with McAfee.

  • Why does Adobe Reader constantly crash on Mac Yosemite?

    I have tried deleting and reinstalling and still Adobe Reader and still cannot open any PDFs.  The document briefly flashes and then an error message says to reopen.  I have not been able to find any solution and cannot access any of my PDF files.

    You have not received any answers to your question yet.
    I moved your question from the Adobe Reader for iOS (for iPads & iPhones) forum to the right forum - the Adobe Reader (desktop) forum.  Because you are using Mac OS X Yosemite and the desktop version of Adobe Reader.
    Hopefully, someone from the Adobe Reader (desktop) forum will assist you shortly.
