Hi

 

Link #1: Sample PDF File 

Link #2: Dump file from my machine 

Link #3: Log Collector 

 

Application is Adobe Acrobat Reader version 2020.001.30005 running on Windows 10 Pro.

 

I will note the following workaround:

- Turn off the "Verify signatures when the document is opened" flag and open the PDF

- Verify the signature

Reader no longer crashes even after turning the flag back on.

However this is of no help because PDFs are sent to recipients who are not aware of this workaround.

 

 

Thanks!
