  2. Adobe Acrobat DC Install

    Which Antivirus utility do you have installed? It could be interfering with Adobe Acrobat DC.

    Try disabling your Antivirus temporarily, reinstall Acrobat DC and see if makes a difference. If it turns out to be the AV, you might want to switching to a different brand.

    Also, make sure you download and use the latest Adobe Acrobat DC install files, which you can download from Adobe's website.

    Adobe Acrobat DC Install

    I downloaded the Adobe Acrobat DC and it keeps shutting off telling me windows will let me know when they find a solution. I've been using the Adobe for quite sometime since it is the only free pdf program that allows me to print both letter and legal
    in the same document. I have removed it and installed it as administrator too. Nothing seems to work. Anyone that has a suggestion, please help.

    Adobe Acrobat DC Install

    If you are talking about the free Adobe Reader DC, try installing the previous version, Reader X1 -

    Click HERE
    to download it from the Adobe Website. It will have the same functionality and has worked on Windows 10 without issue for over a year!

    If you mean the full paid for Adobe Acrobat DC, then on the Adobe forums there are quite a lot of users having issue trying to install it, and Adobe are working on a patch currently . . .

    I Hope this Helps!
