Question details
The user is unable to complete the download of the Swedish language pack in Acrobat Reader, which prevents the app from recognizing text and using the Read Aloud feature on scanned PDFs.
- Product
- Acrobat Reader
- Device & OS
- Android
- Scenario
- Attempting to use text recognition or the Read Aloud feature for a Swedish scanned PDF document.
- Observed behavior
- The language pack download initiates but gets permanently stuck with zero progress, rendering OCR and text-to-speech features unusable.
Ensure your device has a stable Wi-Fi connection and sufficient internal storage space before attempting to resume or restart the language pack download.
Update App and Operating System
Installing the latest updates for both the app and the OS can resolve underlying compatibility bugs preventing the download from completing.
Outdated software versions frequently cause background download processes to hang. Ensuring everything is up to date is the most effective first step.
Open the Google Play Store or App Store, search for Adobe Acrobat Reader, and tap 'Update' if a newer version is available.
Go to your device's Settings, navigate to 'System' or 'Software Update', and ensure your operating system is fully updated.
Restart your mobile device to clear the system cache and terminate any stuck background processes.
Relaunch Acrobat Reader, open the PDF document, and trigger the Read Aloud or text recognition feature to try downloading the Swedish language pack again.
Clear App Cache and Reset Download
Clearing the app's temporary data can remove corrupt download files that are causing the process to stall.
Gather Details for Adobe Support
If standard troubleshooting fails, you may need to gather specific diagnostic information and consult the community or Adobe Support.
