We are sorry to hear that.
Would you mind sharing the version of the application and the OS you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 22.2.20191. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.
Also, a small video recording of the steps you are doing and the issue you are experiencing would be very helpful.

I tried the process one more time to make sure I didn't miss a step and the crashing is resolved. Is there any explanation why this would have occured out of the blue? I work in acrobat extensively on a daily basis. I had not made any changes to the program and acrobat was working properly 1/2 hour before that. Any information on why this happens would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
