Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

Hello Edwin, I am having big problems with Acrobat reader. I have used this program for years, but now I cannot open pdfs. I have tried your suggestion above and the icon appears on my desktop, but it will not open. I can open Acrobat touch. I hope you can help.

 

Can't change default app from Acrobat Reader DC to Acrobat


I am trying to use the default programs app on the control pabel to set Acrobat 9.5 as the default viewer for pdf files. I also have Acrobat Reader DC installed. Neither program appears on the "set your default programs" screen so I changed it on the file associations screen. But Reader DC is still opening the .pdf files by default. I checked back on the default programs app, and the associations screen still lists Reader DC as the default app. But when I click the change program button it asks me if I want to keep the association with Acrobat 9.5! (see screenshot). This is very odd. How to fix?

 

Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader

Hi Rob,

I discovered that lo and behold, my inability to open Adobe Acrobat Reader is not related to having Kaspersky Internet Security installed on my computer. I deinstalled Kaspersky and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader and the same problem is there. As a
last step, I will deinstall Malwarebytes and Adobe Acrobat Reader and reinstall Adobe Acrobat Reader and just verify that there is no interaction between the 2 programs. I think I am going to end up working with Adobe to resolve the problem which I don't
look forward to.

Best, DonB
