• "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)

  
  -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

  What are the properties of the remote procedure call, the workstation service that gives this error?

  I had success with the "connect as" to "Local System account" with the "allow service to interact with desktop" checked.

• 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.

  [Left the Premiere Pro forum... MOD]

  Hey,.

  You could try to remove all Acrobat processes in Task Manager and then restart Acrobat.

  In addition, please repair Acrobat in the Help menu.

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

  Go to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\acrobat\shell\open\ddeexec\application" and tell me if the given key is AcroViewA10 or AcroViewR10.

  Launch Acrobat Reader DC in the start menu. After a long wait, this message appears:

  Fatal error

  Even with a double click on a PDF in the file Explorer. Drive worked fine in Windows 10 build 14905 this afternoon before I updated.

• AR error "AR could not communicate to the DDE server.

  I've updated from Win 7 to win 10. I have AR DC and it was working fine before the upgrade. Now when I try to use the AR, I get the following error message: "AR could not communicate to the DDE server". After reading several posts on the forums, I tried to clean up the permissions for AR DC. AR DC started working but only once. He went immediately to the same error message. I tried to reinstall AR DC but I still get the same error message.  Can anyone help? Thanks John

  Hi johnm72885013,

  The error you see "Acrobat could not connect to a DDE server" occurs usually when Acrobat/Reader finds an already running instance of Acrobat/Reader software, tries to 'talk' to it, but this other instance does not. This can happen if there is a 'guillotine' or misconduct Acrobat/Reader running (perhaps in running in background because he doesn't close properly).

  If you are uncomfortable with the task manager of Windows (via Ctrl-Shift-Escape), then try and kill any what Acrobat.exe or AcroRd32.exe instances running in the background that may have disappeared.

  Kind regards
