I know uninstall/reintall can fix it ,but after 3 week it happen again

Im having the same issue with auto opening & closing with the red dot in Acrobat Pro, and have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times. I have installed from CS5 installer, CS6, Installer, and Stand Alone Acrobat installer in both Acrobat Pro X, and XI. It all started when I installed CS6 the first time.

Im sure whatever damage is done was done then and an uninstaller isn't deleting the problem.

Any more suggestions? Ive been through this entire thread and tried it all.

Thanks,
LDB3

I gave up and reverted to v9, it is buggy too (patchs will not update), but at least it works

OK, I had to Uninstall all copies of Acrobat Pro, Re-install with the stand alone XI intaller,(NOT CS5, or CS6), and select trial copy on install. From there, it auto recognized that I already had CS6 apps installed and did not ask for registration and not it works fine. For how long? Who knows?

Hahaha! I had the same issue. Tried uninstalling-reinstalling AND changing then the "amtlib.framework" folder inside the app and it kept not working.

That was the problem.

I uninstalled-reinstalled again, BUT didn't change that folder. It now works perfect. And it doesn't need to be hacked to work!

Try it!

I did the same thing and it worked with no signs of a trial copy, BUT.... 12ish days later I got a "You've got 2 days left on your trial copy" message. At that point, I swapped out the amtlib.framework folder again(after it had been working) now it works fine.

It was just some kind of Woody's "If the boot fits you". Sorry if I offended anybody.

I will try your solution, because my Acrobat started to ask for Adobe ID log in. Thanks ldb3

I realize this might not help in everyones situation, but try installing just acrobat Reader (free). It works if you double click, at least for me. If you need something more robust, then open it manually in Acrobat Pro, which I believe is more or less designed to create PDF's from scratch rather than markup and comment on them.

I agree though, that was frustrating.
