How to set the preference to display Acrobat or Reader crash report dialog

What are crash reports?

In the event of an issue with Acrobat or Reader, you can submit crash reports through the Adobe Crash Reporter dialog. The Adobe Crash Reporter can collect a log of what the app was doing at the time the crash occurred. It uploads that information into a database, and the engineering team uses that information to analyze crashes and develop solutions.
