Adobe Reader 19.012.20034 CPU hang

Lately (in the last 1-2 weeks) we have been getting CPU alerts on Windows RDS servers (until now W2K16).

Upon inspecting we find a number of AcroRd32.exe processes (typical 1-4) using a full CPU (fx 25% in a 4 CPU server).

Looking at CPU Time we find those processes to be top consumers, yesterday a process had used 4h30m of CPU time when we got the alert, see below.

When asking users, they seem to have a PDF open in IE but nothing out of the ordinary.

When we kill the AcroRd32.exe process IE report a crash and the tab that have Adobe Reader loaded closes.

I made a Process Dump and loaded into WinDbg and got this - none the wiser but maybe you know what to do with it:

The above process had used 4h:30m of CPU time.

Anyone else experience these problems - or anyone know how to troubleshoot it?

Any help will be highly appreciated.
