Question

New Acrobat freezing constantly.

WHenever asked to do a memory intensive task, Acrobat DC Pro crashes/freezes. This time it was listing comments in a pdf (their number was over 3K marks/comments). 

 

I like the interface but Acrobat has become dangerously unstable. The classic version it replaced is no better these days.

My Acrobat freezes with copy and pasting or just clicking on literally anything. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and Im on a brand new gaming desktop
