Acrobat failed to connect to the DDE server.

I have Windows 7.  When I try to download a file, it rises and then freezes.  I uninstalled and reinstalled adobe reader software and it still does not work.  It worked fine until about a week ago.  What has caused this happens and how to fix it?

Using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader? If only the PDF reader, it has always been problematic. I suggest you only replace it with this lightweight and reliable PDF reader.

  • "Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server.

    Problem: Acrobat generates the following error ' Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server "

    SCENARIO #1
    (1) if I double click on a single PDF file, the file opens without any problem
    (2) if I double click on a second PDF file, I get ' Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server.
    (3) if I double click on a third file I also get ""Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server " and so on..."
    (4) if I completely close Adobe Reader, I can open and then again all a single PDF file
    (5) basically I can have only one PDF file open at any time
    (6) if I reboot my system, I can open multiple PDFs even once without any problems, but after leaving my system on without restarting the computer for a while (possibly after a whole day) the question back again and I have to restart once again to solve the problem. Very annoying.

    SCENARIO #2
    (1) I Double click on a single PDF file, the file opens
    (2) I click file = > open select one or more PDF files and have no problem open as many PDF files I want.
    (3) I guess I can use this as a workaround but I find that it is not also practice that double-click several files in Windows Explorer.


    Here's what I've tried so far vain

    Uninstall/reinstall of Adobe Reader 9.1
    -uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1 and Adobe Reader 8 installation
    -Remove the checkmark next to "USE DDE" in the Windows Explorer File Types section
    (In Windows Explorer, click on tools = > Folder Options = > Types of files = > PDF = > advanced = > open = > change = > use DDE)

    screengrab1.JPG
    -Set Windows Services Network DDE DSDM Network DDE services automatic and verified that they are both started

    I'm on a corporate network, if that helps

    Appreciate any suggestions

    In addition, please repair Acrobat in the Help menu.

    If you still get the same error, press (Windows + Run) and type "REGEDIT".

    1. go to setting-> Applications-> shop game Google-> erase-> empty the Cache.
    2. go in setting-> Applications-> Service Google Play-> erase-> empty the Cache.
