Adobe Acrobat Pro Crashes When Editing PDFs

If Adobe Acrobat Pro crashes while you're editing a document, try these solutions:

• Update Adobe Acrobat Pro:
  Keeping your software up to date is essential for stability. Go to Help > Check for Updates to ensure you’re using the latest version. Install any available updates to fix bugs and improve performance.
• Repair Installation:
  If the software seems corrupted, repair it by going to Help > Repair Installation. This option can resolve issues caused by incomplete or damaged files.
• Disable Third-Party Plugins:
  Third-party plugins can sometimes cause conflicts. To disable unnecessary plugins, go to Edit > Preferences > General > Manage Add-Ons, and disable any plugins that aren't essential.

2. Adobe Acrobat Pro Crashes When Opening PDFs

If the software crashes when trying to open a PDF, try these steps:

• Check the Integrity of the PDF:
  A corrupted PDF file can be the culprit. Try opening other PDFs to see if the issue is specific to one file. If only one file causes the crash, it might be damaged.
• Update Adobe Acrobat Pro:
  Ensure you’re using the latest version of the software. Follow the update steps as mentioned above to download and install the latest updates.
• Reset Preferences:
  Corrupted preference files can cause crashes. To reset preferences, close Acrobat and navigate to the preferences folder (usually in your AppData or Library folder). Rename the folder to reset the preferences.
• Run as Administrator:
  On Windows, right-click the Acrobat shortcut and select Run as Administrator. This may resolve permission-related issues causing the crashes.
