nukecad Posted July 25, 2018 ID:1258751 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) I've had problems with Acrobat Reader DC on Windows 10 for a couple of days now. Slow to load files, scrolling pages freezing, 'not responding' errors, etc. I repaired, and even removed and reinstalled Reader, all with no success. Then I noticed there had been an update to MBAE (on Monday?). Sure enough stopping MBAE restored Acrobat Reader DC to it's proper functioning. Restarting MBAE caused the Acrobat Reader problems to return. Looks like a clash, I seem to remember similar happening before about a year ago? Windows 10 Home, 64-bit, 1803, build 17134.167 MBAE 1.12.1.100 Reader DC v2018.011.20055 Edited July 25, 2018 by nukecad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted July 25, 2018 Author ID:1258779 Share Posted July 25, 2018 UPDATE. Stopping MBAE only partially stops the problems with Reader, it may still glitch - but turning MBAE on again exacerbates it and ensures that the problems are there all the time. Looks like there may be something deeper going on. More testing required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted July 25, 2018 ID:1258906 Share Posted July 25, 2018 This is also affecting Acrobat Pro, not just the reader... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Rsullinger Posted July 26, 2018 Staff ID:1259106 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hey Nukecad, I am going to send you a PM to try and get some debug logs for our team. Thank you, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted July 27, 2018 Author ID:1259228 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Requested logs have been sent in a return PM. Just to note that after capturing the logs I completely uninstalled MBAE (to get rid of the test version) as a prelude to reinstalling the latest stable version. After it had been uninstalled completely there were no problems with Reader DC. Once MBAE had been reinstalled and restarted the problems with Reader returned.

CeeBee Posted July 29, 2018 ID:1259707 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) Windows 7 Pro 32-bit and 64-bit (two computers). I have the same issue with Adobe Reader 11.0.23. Please provide a download link for the MBAE 1.12.1.90 version. Thanks. Edited July 29, 2018 by CeeBee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted July 29, 2018 Author ID:1259773 Share Posted July 29, 2018 CeeBee, I can send you the .90 installer by PM, but it will update to .100 straight away unless you take steps, see the PM. I reported back that the 'unstable' beta version provided by rsullinger to collect logs had no clash/problems at all with Adobe Reader. Hopefully that means that the issue will soon be sorted with another update. Personally for the moment I have left MBAE 1.12.1.100 running and just set my browser to preview pdf's rather than opening them in Reader. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Received, many thanks. I usually keep a few back copies as well, but this time I was auto updated to .90 (and later .100), so I only had .86 at hand. Presumably MB will fix this shortly, however, if not I'll stay with .90 which works fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkipR Posted July 29, 2018 ID:1259914 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I have this problem with FoxIt Reader. If I deactivate shields related to FoxIt Reader the problem seems to go away. Perhaps that the problem could be with how version 100 is handling the PDF file, not necessarily Acrobat Reader or FoxIt Reader. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted July 30, 2018 Author ID:1260065 Share Posted July 30, 2018 So that's Acrobat Pro, Adobe Reader DC, and Foxit reader that are all being affected by this issue. Interestingly though if you right click a pdf and 'Open with' Firefox it displays, scrolls, etc. without any problem, even though I have Firefox included in the MBAE shields too. Which suggests there is a different kind of shield for Firefox than for the other pdf readers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeBee Posted August 3, 2018 ID:1261222 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Any news on this? I'm still on MBAB .90 with deactivated automatic update. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Arthi Posted August 3, 2018 Staff ID:1261349 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hi All, Thanks for your patience. We are still working on the fix to resolve this issue with Adobe Reader. Will keep you posted as soon as we have a test build out. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Arthi Posted August 6, 2018 Staff ID:1261866 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hi All, We have a test build with the fix to the Adobe Reader issue. Please try it out and let us know. https://malwarebytes.box.com/s/341m41qo10b0jkv6tkuj0w0jhlpaimus Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted August 6, 2018 Author ID:1261873 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Thanks, MBAE 1.12.1.107 installed and Reader DC is now working fine here, both with PDF files opened of the computer harddrive and those opened through the browser. EDIT I did get a "Smart Screen" warning when I ran the installer, saying that it could not check the file. That was probably my dodgy broadband/wifi connection; one of the joys of living in a rural location. I thought it may be worth mentioning though because I have never had this Smart Screen warning before. I just told it to run the installer anyway and it installed without problem.

Does the .107 build incorporate both the Acrobat Reader AND the XP fixes discussed in a separate thread? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Arthi Posted August 7, 2018 Staff ID:1261980 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yes the 107 build has fixes for both. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed .107 over .90 on my old legacy XP Pro machine .. and so far okay. No install issues and .107 seems to work on Thunderbird, Firefox, MPClassic, Adobe Reader 11.0.23, TeamViewer and Office 2003 Professional. All settings = default. We'll see how it looks a few days down the road .. before I test on my two W7 laptops. Am I right in assuming that version .107 uses more memory and resources (than .90)?

CeeBee Posted August 9, 2018 ID:1262305 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Except for the issues referred to separately (see link), version .107 works fine on my W7-32 laptop. That said, it's footprint is slightly larger and the load/unload of programs a tad slower. As are the fly-outs. Where have all the good coders gone... https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/234623-thunderbird-added-shield-not-working/?do=findComment&comment=1262303 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hake Posted August 11, 2018 ID:1262852 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Alas, while MBAE 1.12.1.107 works with Windows XP there is a problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro version 6. An invalid file handle is reported while Acrobat is starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
