Hi Rajat,

Sorry for the delay in response to your query.

If you are still looking for the solution to this problem, then we would suggest you to try closing the Acrobat Distiller instance (if you find more than once instance) from "Task Manager" and see if that helps.

Right click Task Bar>Open Task Manager>Processes>select process and "End Task"

Regards,

Akanchha

Uninstall the Distiller Ap from windows Uninstall Programs and Feature method (if it applies to this App)

Uninstall the Distiller App from the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App if it is listed there.

Reboot your computer and see if your Acrobat DC still gets affected by it.

If it still shows after trying the uninstall options go online and uninstall from the Cloud Service by accessing your user account settings and disabling what you can in there (pay close attention if the Distiller is being shared by more than one Adobe product in your user account..

Let me correct myself on last said,

The Acrobat Distiller is licensed with the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (someone please correct me if I am wrong); it is bundled together and it cannot be used as a stand-alone product that you can download and install separately.

Unless you are using an old version of the Acrobat product the guidelines that I've posted earlier does not apply to your case.

So I apologize for rushing out and blurting an answer without asking the right questions first.

The best answers I could find for your particular issue I found here:

Acrobat Distiller is a component of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Standard. It has never been a part of the free Acrobat Reader.

I found, per the link you attached, that I had two instances of Distiller running in processes. I right clicked and open the containing folder and deleted one of the copies. I restarted, and it didn't come up, so hopefully that took care of it.

Thank you!

I wanted to add an update to my response. When I deleted the copy of Distiller, it deleted both copies which rendered my Acrobat DC unable to function. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Now it's all good.

Check if you have Acrobat installed in 2 places. In my case i
had it in my cs5.5 master collection and a separate standalone
install. When i removed 1 of these the problem was gone.

One can purchase a water distiller from virtual stores such as
Amazon or Wholesale Water Distillers. Another option would be to
purchase it from any home improvement or builder's supply
store.
