When I select the print function on an open PDF, Adobe becomes unresponsive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, updated my computer, and tried many different documents.

Any solutions?

@lynette_7373 after multiple reinstalls and updates., you might also consider updating your printer drivers directly from the manufacturer's website or, as a temporary diagnostic step, disabling "Enhanced Security" or "Protected Mode at startup" within Acrobat's Preferences (Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)), but remember to re-enable security settings after testing.
