Acrobat Reader DC fails w/certain PDF files that open w/ another PDF reader application
Windows 10 Pro [22H2; OS Build 19045.6216]
Google Chrome [Version 139.0.7258.139 64 bit]
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (64-bit) [25.001.20630] - This is my preferred and default application for opening PDF files
Bank Payment History data (source data) is available to me on a webpage and when I use the Google Chrome print function with "Microsoft Print to PDF" to create PDF files of this source data and then open those PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, the program locks up (Not Responding), yet when I open those same PDF files with a randomly chosen third party PDF reader application there is no issue.
Additional information:
If I use the same source data webpage and create a second set of PDF files this time using Google Chrome print function with "Save as PDF" then both Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and the randomly chosen third party PDF reader application work with no issue.
Therefore, this approach is my current workaround.
However, in general, I prefer the output from "Microsoft Print to PDF" and because this is the option that I normally use, I would like to go back to using that option as soon as I can once again use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to open all of my PDF files.

Adobe Acrobat Reader has always been my default application for opening PDF files ever since PDF files were first introduced.
To the best of my knowledge, up until now, I've never experienced a situation where Adobe Acrobat Reader could not open a PDF file unless the PDF file was corrupted or otherwise contained an error that could not be automatically remediated by Adobe Acrobat Reader.
