Seemingly out of the blue, Acrobat (Reader) was crashing at launch ('Application has unexpectedly quit'). I trashed the prefs for Acrobat, and the problem persisted.
This article works through preparing a document for publication using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Has been located, it is shown by type in a sidebar to the left. My version of Acrobat Pro DC (up to date) consistently quit unexpectedly whenever I tried to show the preview of the document metadata, though. Open the duplicate in Acrobat.
I checked for a crash log in ~/Library -> Logs -> CrashReporter and read the AcrobatReader 5.0.crash.log (if you double-click on the file, it should just open up in the Console utility). Two lines caught my eye: #1 0x001e4640 in LanguageSelector::ChooseSystemLanguage(void) #2 0x001e3d5c in LanguageSelector::OpenDefaultLanguageResFile(void)And that seemed pretty strange to me (!): Acrobat was trying to check my language setting(s) and found nothing? So, I opened my System Preferences -> International Prefs, and clicked on the Language tab.
In order to force a value to be written (not sure where that pref lives.), I dragged French to the top of the list and closed the Pref panel (Show All). I opened it again and moved English back to the top of the list and quit out of System Preferences (be sure not to skip this step!). And voila - the problem was fixed, Acrobat Reader launched fine.
