Adobe Acrobat Updater Helper Quit Unexpectedly

Hi scmesser1,

Go to your Applications folder in Finder, right-click Adobe Reader and open the 'Get Info' dialog. Uncheck the Updater plugin in the Plugins list and you're all done.

Click on the bouncing EtreCheck icon in the Dock. “Choose a problem” from the popup menu box, and then “Start EtreCheck” in the dialog. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard”. Activate an Adobe app. Get help with redemption codes. Create or update your Adobe ID. Update your credit card. Fix a failed or missed payment.

Update the product to the latest version: Choose Help Check for Updates and then follow the steps in the Updater window to download and install the latest updates. If Acrobat DC still crashes intermittently even after updating to the latest version, try Solution 2 below.

  1. Make sure you are using the latest version of the software. Check with the manufacturer if the product is published by a third party.
  2. If the issue only occurs while using a specific document, try creating a new document or replacing your document with a backup. Your document may be damaged. If possible, try testing with either a new file or a known-good file.
  3. Drag the application to the Trash and reinstall it if the issue persists. Some Apple applications that may have been included with your computer can be reinstalled by using the Install, Restore, or iLife disc that came with the computer. See these links for more information:
