every time I try to open Acrobat Reader in OS X, it crashes.

this forces me to open all my PDFs in Preview.

anyone else having trouble with this? any solutions?

I have already trashed the prefs and reinstalled the app, but this didn't fix anything.
I want the ability to sleep in the snow, if I have to. I want the ability to want to.

this sounds nuts, but it's from the acrobat mac forum; it's a workaround an adobe tech discovered

open system preferences and hit the international icon, then the language tab
rearrange the bottom two asian languages on the list
quit system preferences

i think it was originally for the full acrobat but i think it will work for the reader issues you are having.

hope this helps.

Horray for forums. This is a solution I never would have thought of.
