A restart didn't change this behavior.
Can you post a screen shot of the error message you get when you try to use Acrobat from calibre- or if its a calibre diagnostic use the button to copy the message to the clipboard and post contents here.

I don't have Acrobat, I prefer PDF eXchange, which is my default PDF reader, when I open a PDF in calibre that's what I get, and theducks has posted Acrobat works from calibre at his place.

- try adding Acrobat to calibre's Open With feature to see if it works there:

Another thing you could try: uninstall Acrobat completely, run a lightweight registry cleaner, download a fresh Acrobat installer and use it to create a vanilla Acrobat install.
