Ah thanks for sending that over. I can't seem to reproduce this, but if you disable that compatibility setting, does it still crash on startup?

FYI, see my post above, wanted to let you know about my issues on this. ]]> RE: Adobe acrobat DC problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#26 Thu, 18 May 2023 14:18:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#26 DisplayFusion Hi, I'm having this issue now and am on the latest beta. My reader completely freezes up for a while when I lock it to one of my "screens" that are partitioned on my ultrawide with DF. I am running Win 11 latest build, DF latest build, Adobe Acrobat Reader 64-bit (Continuous release, current version 2023.001.20174).

Problem goes away when DF is closed. It gets messed up anytime I move it to a new DF window (1.1, 1.2, or 1.3) and it locks into that window. The app almost crashed and then eventually starts working again. When I hold shift to maximize to full screen, it works fine, seems to be entirely related to the "Window Position Profiles". ]]> RE: Adobe acrobat DC problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#25 Thu, 20 Apr 2023 16:04:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#25 DisplayFusion Ah thanks for sending that over.

You need to find the executable Adobe.exe (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs)

Then right-click on it and select Compatibility.

Windows 10 64 bit
DisplayFusion 10.0.1 (Beta1)
Adobe Acrobat Version 2023.001.20143. 64-bit
I am having issues with Adobe Acrobat when maximizing. If a monitor is split (via DisplayFusion), Acrobat maximizes outside of screen. Window controls are then outside of screen and I need to close the program.

Edit: I should add that I had edited the Compatibility properties for Acrobat (right click / properties / Compatibility / Change high DPI settings / Override high DPI scaling behavior) so that Acrobat would not freeze when maximizing window (with DisplayFusion installed). ]]> RE: Adobe acrobat DC problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#21 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 15:51:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#21 DisplayFusion We made some changes in beta 13 that might help here.

Im running Acrobat Pro DC on Win 11 and having this same old issue.
The fix I mentioned above (post #15) no longer seems to work. This might be because Im now on Windows 11, whereas I was using Windows 10 when speaking about that fix.
I can attach a video if it would help, but when I launch Acrobat DC with DisplayFusion running, it'll open in a window and I can move it around. As soon as I maximize the program to a split, the program freezes. I cant minimize, I cant click on any menus...nothing. After maybe 20-30 seconds, it'll unfreeze. I'll move to another split, and itll happen all over again. As soon as I close DisplayFusion, Acrobat will work without issue.
Basically I cant run Acrobat DC while DisplayFusion is open.
Please let me know what info I can provide to try and help fix this issue.
Thanks
Update: attached video to explain exactly what is going on.
I should have included in the video that in Preferences -> Security (Enhanced), Enable protected mode at startup is unchecked and Run in AppContainer is greyed out.
Also, Acrobat Reader works just fine with the protect mode/run in appcontainer settings unchecked. This seems to be an issue with Acrobat Pro DC. Hope someone can point me to some settings I may not be aware of to fix this. Thanks! ]]> RE: Adobe acrobat DC problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#19 Thu, 20 Oct 2022 15:45:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#19 DisplayFusion This also worked for me. Thanks for posting this workaround.

Sorry, can someone explain what customizations they made in DisplayFusion to allow Acrobat to be maximized?

Update: Looks like changing a setting in Acrobat fixed it for me.
In Edit -> Preferences -> Security (Enhanced), I unchecked 'Enable Protected Mode at startup (Preview)' and 'Run in AppContainer'.
No clue why I need to do this, but at least its working.

Thank you for your prompt and helpful attention.

Just to clarify. This has been a problem for me with Acrobat Pro not Reader and it has been the 32 bit version. There is a limited version (for UK and only a few other countries) of the 64 bit version of Pro, but I have not yet tried it. ]]> RE: Adobe acrobat DC problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#13 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 17:41:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#13 DisplayFusion I can now confirm that problem is evident in both 32bit and 64bit releases of the latest Acrobat Reader.
Just tested AcroRdrDC2100720099_en_US (32bit).

[This latest update (at least on 64bit) also breaks some printing on HP printers.]

it is a mess ... ]]> RE: Adobe acrobat DC problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#12 Mon, 20 Dec 2021 18:19:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#12 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over, we we're able to reproduce the issue on our end, so I've added it to our list to look into.

So thank you very much once again. ]]> RE: Adobe acrobat DC problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#8 Mon, 13 Dec 2021 17:57:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#8 DisplayFusion Under the 'compatibility settings' (DF settings, see compatibility tab on the left) one can tweak certain aspects of DF for non-compliant programs.
Hopefully the programmers will address this compatibility problem.
I think this all goes back to this unique window type (a known problem maker) under 64bits. ]]> RE: Adobe acrobat DC problems https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#7 Mon, 13 Dec 2021 17:52:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/adobe-acrobat-dc-problems/?ID=b093718f-c25c-4a83-b7c3-20aa5eef80e4#7 DisplayFusion Thank you doctor. This worked.
"The 'Maximize' DF custom titlebar button does work"
I do not really use advanced features of DF - mainly just use it for dividing an ultra wide screen. I was not aware that I could maximise via the titlebar button. This works perfectly now - many thanks.
What do you mean by application hooks? ]]>
