Acrobat 9.5 keeps crashing

[donjanz]

When i try to print a new PDF, Acrobat crashes and tells me "something went wrong" and then closes. I thought maybe an update would help but I get "Cannot establish a connection. Try again later. Error: 140000"

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Don

What operating system are you using? If it's Windows 10, then the OS was never tested with your version of Acrobat (unless Adobe had a time machine). That combination of application and operating system is not supported, and problems would not be unexpected. I would try to run Acrobat in "compatibility mode".

You can download the updates manually, see here for information: Where are my Adobe Acrobat 9 Updates??? - KHKonsulting LLC

Win7, SP1. It's been working without problems for years and just stopped today.

Hello Donjanz,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused, as per the description above, Acrobat 9 is crashing on your Windows 7 machine, Is that correct?

As Karl mentioned, please check for any pending updates of Acrobat from help>check for updates, reboot the machine after installing any updates and see if this brings any difference.

You can also refer and try the steps from the following Adobe article Resolve Acrobat DC intermittent crashes on Windows

If the issue persists, please uninstall Acrobat 9 and reinstall it.
