What are RdrCEF.exe Error Messages?


RdrCEF.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Adobe Acrobat DC errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when RdrCEF.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Acrobat DC is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Adobe Acrobat DC.

In most cases, RdrCEF.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these RdrCEF.exe error messages mean that Adobe Acrobat DC was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Adobe Acrobat DC will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common RdrCEF.exe errors include:

  • RdrCEF.exe - Bad Image.
  • RdrCEF.exe Application Error.
  • RdrCEF.exe could not be found.
  • RdrCEF.exe could not be installed.
  • RdrCEF.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • RdrCEF.exe could not be started.
  • RdrCEF.exe failed to initialize properly.

System Error


The program can’t start because RdrCEF.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the RdrCEF.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting RdrCEF.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Adobe Acrobat DC 2019.012.20034. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of RdrCEF.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
