When you initiate the download, the process may fail to start or the download may stop prematurely. The download may also stop with an error message before the installation file has been completely downloaded. When trying to open Adobe Acrobat, users may sometimes experience an error message that usually starts with something like “Adobe Acrobat Reader DC has stopped working. This happens even when you try restarting the computer and even reinstalling the application.

In a number of cases, making updates to installed versions of Adobe Acrobat causes more problems than solutions. Acrobat may sometimes freeze or crash when an update is being installed or stop functioning all together after the update.

You may also experience a number of “Update failed” errors, including unexpected termination during update, error writing to file, insufficient privileges to modify specific files, error removing an older version of the application, and tons of other errors that come up during or after the update.

Signature addition to a PDF document is definitely a nerve-racking process that needs to be done with extreme precision and detail. With the new version, it is now easy to add in your signatures into the PDF document and also with the utmost clarity and not compromising on the detail. All these can be done with the help of the restrict edit feature.

Using this feature all the documents that you edit using adobe acrobat XI pro can be password protected and can be accessed by the sources who have the credentials to log in to the document. One more state-of-the-art feature of the Adobe Acrobat XI pro is the forms central feature where you can create forms based upon your requirements and store them as a PDF document once the data collection is complete.

These forms are also adaptable to later customizations and will help you in collecting data simpler and easier. It is also equally important to know the system requirements to run such software. A review by Fernando Ortega. Adobe Reader We have tested Adobe Reader XI On a different system I tried uninstalling Acrobat XI Std first before running the Windows 10 update, but it had the same outcome as leaving it on there.

When I tried to run it, it did nothing. It did not open, it did not give an error message Not sure about Pro version, but I would imagine it should be. They find it impossible to use software on a subscription basis or update software that is not used a lot as well as the cost of a learning curve and loss of productivity learning new or major changes the interface of applications. I recently assisted one operation to purchase windows 7 and some new machines with windows 7 pre-installed at quite a cost despite the assistance from some sponsors and myself.

They did not want Windows 8 machines as to most Business users that is a Cell Phone operating system to which I agree. Fortunately they could get a free upgrade to windows 10 and were prepared to wait a year or so, but now their full investment and operation has come to a halt, as some of the support work I do for people at no cost. I use Adobe Acrobat 10 to support a sporting operation and other such organizations, now they can no longer afford to continue functioning as most of their software would cost too much to replace or upgrade, and sponsors are not prepared to help with products that have a life expectancy of less that 8 to 10 years especially on software that is used only about 4 times per Year to create special PDF documents or like myself and some others that use Adobe Premier one or twice a year to make a video for personal use.

I purchase Adobe Suit 6 for myself some time ago at huge expense and have only used it about 15 to 20 times to create holiday movies and some sport related archives.

I believe software Vendors can not be expected to update features in an application free forever but need to fix simple problems that do not require rewrite of the application for at least 10 years, like motor manufacturers are required to carry stock of spares for that period.

I admire Microsoft for their attempts to try their best to maintain compatibility for as long as possible without being detrimental to progress and functionality. Over many years as an IT professional I and many of my colleagues often were asked to block access on their firewalls and routers to prevent users any access to Adobe update servers or for that matter any adobe servers or services of any type.

All updates must be downloaded on a single machine and tested before updating on the rest of their machines manually. I have done support at many companies that do not allow any of their Graphical or engineering PC connection to the internet for obvious privacy reasons. This is also nowadays causing many problems as several applications need to divulge unknown private data to their developers that is often leaked to opposition companies.

Some companies are also concerned by the access to the configurations and types of systems used for their design work or the other software they use for this.

Windows 10 has finally driven the final nail in my casket. I started with DOS 2. Paid for, coded around, and Digested every advance MS ever tossed our way. Remember the lead balloons? Windows ME, and get a load of “Vista” and the aftermath.

Still, I remained to be able to some how eventually justify the costs and jumbling of the GUI. Nothing changed, just the wrappers.

Hello Ned I had problems with adobe reader 11 standard. How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. In reply to Teddy’s post on September 6, I too have a compatibility problem with acrobat XI Pro since updating to Windows Also win10 chooses the internet explorer icon for acrobat on the lower menu rather than the acrobat icon and every attempt I make to correct it is blocked by windows.

Clearly some kind of incompatibility between windows and the application program. Thanks for your help. In reply to Hemoguy’s post on October 24, The only problems I’ve had is “all” updates fail, due to the fact I did not purchased from Adobe! I went through another Tech company instead and paid less than half the price, it was worth it!

Subsequent upgrades to Adobe Standard XI will also trigger a loss in functionality. Use Windows Troubleshoot Compatibility and then if the functions are restored, “save the settings for this program”. I don’t recommend accepting Adobe’s security patches and upgrades as they will trigger problems and their help numbers are buried under many irrelevant layers of sales promotions on their website.

In reply to Dr. Fever’s post on September 5, Microsoft is not advancing anything but scuttling the “Personal” in Computing. It was fun but now a deceased OS for “People”. Good luck to you and your impending market doom. This site in other languages x.
