However, the software might act up just like any other app at times, so you may run into a number of issues when using it. When Adobe Acrobat Reader DC refuses to open PDF files, this is a common problem. As a result, here is a remedy for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC not being able to open PDF files that you may attempt.

In Compatibility Mode, open Adobe Acrobat.
Older versions of Windows can be utilized as operating systems with the Windows compatibility mode. Some programs may work better with an earlier version of Windows than with the most recent version.

Use compatibility mode if you're using an Adobe version that isn't compatible with the current version of Windows. To do so, take the following steps:
  1. Go to Properties by right-clicking on the Adobe Acrobat shortcut.
  2. In the Properties box, go to the Compatibility tab.
  3. Compatibility mode should be checked.
  4. Select any previous Windows version from the drop-down menu.
  5. Select Apply and then OK.
If there was a compatibility issue, Adobe would resume normal PDF opening.
