After saving a certified copy Adobe needs to be restarted

I have an issue that is two part. 

First, if a document is signed and saved as a certified copy the application freezes and I cannot click or use any other functions, a ping sound can be heard when I click, as if a dialogue window is open - no window is displayed. I cannot use any functions or open another document until I hard close acrobat from task manager and restart it manually. It appears the document is saved locally when I restart the application but this makes signing documents incredible inefficient since I need to restart every time I sign and save a read only copy.

Secondly, if I open the signed document and try to save a certified copy again I get  the "an error occured while uploading" message.

I have updated acrobat, reinstalled and also tried disabling protected mode already. Kindly advise how to fix this very annoying issue.
