Adobe Acrobat suddenly crashing

Explorer ,
Aug 26, 2025 Aug 26, 2025

I opened up a PDF this morning to organize some pages and the AI pop-up windows started to come up, and the file crashed and closed. I have tried 10 different PDFs, and the program crashes as soon as I start scrolling through the file. 

Any ideas what is going on? Never had this happen, and I have a work-related project that must get finished and I am cooked.

 

Thanks in advance.
