Acrotray and Distiller FLOODING processes

Recently I have seen this problem with a few users who we have CC All apps licenses installed. Seemingly randomly, Distiller and Acrotray will replicate processes and nearly take over the machine. The popup window will say something along the lines of "Another instance of Distiller is busy starting up" and there will be hundreds of these Windows. I haven't been able to pinpoint what is causing this. This is what the Task manager will look like when a computer is being assaulted by Distiller. Note that it took ~30 seconds of scrolling to see a non adobe related task.

Has anyone else seen something like this? I have scoured the forums for a solution, but I have not found one that really sticks. This is not an isolated incident either, at least 3 different users and computers have run into this.
