MacBook Air: Adobe Reader not opening, PDFs not printing

I have a MacBook Air (2015) macOS Monterey 12.7.6

The Adobe Acrobat Reader will not open and if I have a PDF document, it doesn't print. Any suggestions?

Create a Keyboard Shortcut:

When something like this occurs, and you cannot get around it, you can try creating a shortcut for the App. In doing so, that would potentially make the fix.

  1. Go here: Create Keyboard Shortcuts for Apps on Mac - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: "You can create your own keyboard shortcuts for menu commands in any macOS app, including the Finder. This might be useful if a global shortcut, which works the same with most apps, conflicts with a specific app shortcut. In this case, you could create a new key combination."
