Hi,
I couldn't find an answer to this anywhere, so maybe this community can help.

My problem is:
I unticked in properties --> behavior the PDF checkbox in order to view my ebooks via an external viewer (Adobe Acrobat Reader DC). However, this results in a fatal error when trying to open a pdf: A blank window titled "ERROR: Unhandled exception" appears and calibre crashes.
When I try it with the internal viewer, it works, as well as opening the file manually via the explorer or if I choose Edge as default pdf viewer.

Has anyone ideas how I could make it work with Acrobat Reader?

Thanks in advance!
