Regardless, this issue is most commonly related to file associations.As the user to do the following:Locate a PDF on the system via Search (any PDF will do)Hold down the Shift key and right-click the PDF file > Select 'Open with..'Select either Acrobat or Adobe Reader (depending on which application is actually installed)Check the box at the bottom of the dialog box that says 'Always open with..'If the issue persists after trying this, repair Acrobat or Reader. This can be done via the Help > Repair menu option.Regards,DavidAcrobat Community ManagerAdobe Systems 1 person found this helpful Like Show 0 Likes(0) Actions 2. Re: Acrobat failed to connect to DDE Server CMeisinger May 10, 2011 8:26 AM (in response to dave_m_k) Thanks David,I did check the file associations and did a repair and uninstall/re-install and nothing worked but it turned out to be an issue with turning on a security policy in Symantec Endpoint that was causing Adobe to not open so I had to remove that policy in order for Adobe to work again.Thanks,Chris 1 person found this helpful Like Show 0 Likes(0) Actions 3.

Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server Hello:I'm a Acrobat XI Pro user on a windows 8.1 system. I recently added Acrobat XI reader https://support.lexisnexis.com/system/selfservice.controller?CONFIGURATION=1065&PARTITION_ID=1&TIMEZONE_OFFSET=&CMD=VIEW_ARTICLE&ARTICLE_ID=41849&cust_PrevNextFlag=true (on 9/6). Last night I received an update notification which I applied (I believe it as for reader). Since the update my Adobe reader would lock up and stop processing, to dde server the extent I was unable to kill the program via task manager. Opening a document in Acrobat Pro resulted in the same issue. One of the open documents eventually died, then displayed the following error:Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server.I was also unable to reboot.

I was able to successfully failed to connect stop the program by powering off and back on the machine, but got the same errors when trying to open a document with either reader or acrobat pro after rebooting. Finally I restored system to restore point created just before the last night's Acrobat update (which reapplied some windows updates I had done last night as well, after the restore).
