Adobe Acrobat Reader Troubleshooting

Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I am having problems with Adobe Acrobat Reader and wondering how to fix it?“ - Phillip T., Canada

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Overview of Adobe Acrobat Reader

You’re probably familiar with the term “Adobe Acrobat Reader”, however, you might now be entirely familiar with what it exactly is and does. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a software program that can be freely downloaded from the Internet that is used for viewing, creating, and editing PDF files. A PDF file, short for “Portable Document Format”, is a common file format that is used for sending documents over the Internet.

With the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader software, you can view, navigate, as well as print PDF files. To enable you to access PDF documents, you need to have this software installed on your PC.

The good news is that Adobe Acrobat Reader is absolutely free, including free software updates delivered over the Internet. Adobe Acrobat Software is used by millions of computer users around the world due to the fact that it is a very secure software for viewing and working with sensitive documents.

Adobe Acrobat Reader is also good for novice users as it comes with a simple and user-friendly interface that is quick and easy to learn. While using Adobe Acrobat Reader, users can also share documents through email and other web-based platforms.

What Problems are Associated with Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Although Adobe Acrobat Reader is a great program used around the world, there are some errors that you are likely to encounter when using this software. Adobe Acrobat Reader is stable when it comes to task execution; however, some users have reported errors experienced during the download or installation process.

“Adobe Acrobat Reader that is running cannot view PDF files”, this error usually occurs when you attempt to open a PDF file on a PC which is already running Adobe Acrobat Reader software. This sort of error is most likely caused by corrupt files that may be preventing the software from operating normally. Additionally, the Adobe Acrobat Reader version installed could be incompatible with the system.

In this case, it is important to download another version of the program from Adobe’s website and uninstall the current one. During the search process, you’ll probably find a more recent version to download that what is currently running on your system.

Repairing your current installation can also be a great idea, as faulty files that may be causing problems can be fixed during the repairing process. This is definitely a more advanced method, only recommended for experienced PC users, which is beyond the scope of this article.
