What are pmd.cer Error Messages?


General pmd.cer Runtime Errors

pmd.cer file errors often occur during the startup phase of Adobe Acrobat DC, but can also occur while the program is running. These types CER errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Adobe Acrobat DC is running. Here are some of the most common pmd.cer runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\pmd.cer

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most CER errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your pmd.cer file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Acrobat DC), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, pmd.cer file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Acrobat DC, system crash while loading or saving pmd.cer, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download pmd.cer Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying pmd.cer to your appropriate Windows system directory. Adobe Systems Incorporated typically does not release Adobe Acrobat DC CER files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing pmd.cer and all other CER files for Adobe Acrobat DC. An incorrectly installed CER file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
