Data Execution Prevention Closes Acrobat 9.1 Pro Extended

Windows Vista will not allow me to open this program nor turn off DEP for Acrobat.

This started within the last week or two. Is there a patch or workaround for this?

Thank you.

Hi jkdrisdale,

Maybe the Acrobat 9.2 update will resolve the issue.

A data point.
While working on a tagged output PDF of some 57 pages I encountered Vista's DEP when I was attempting to change read order of a page's content.
Having selected multiple figures on a page, in the Content panel, I attempted to move their position. This gave the DEP (Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 Extended) ceased to operate, Vista closed it, the DEP was announced.

My first encounter with this; interesting but awkward.
For me, moving one figure at a time (with a save after each move) was the success path.

Be well...

I run windows xp. I had adobe reader vers 8.?? has worked fine until last week when i tried to print a data execution prevention message came up and closed adobe down. I then upgraded to adobe vers 9.2 but this still happens. I cannot print any type of pdf file.
