Autocad 2019 crashes when printing.

[ANDREAMANDARA7322]

Hello, I've troubles with a particular dwg file.
I can work properly with the file, but when I try to print (dwg to pdf, but I also tried other printers) Autocad crashes and appears the Windows message
"AutoCAD Application has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I tried more than one pc, and this happens both in Windows 7 and Windows 10, both in Autocad 2018 and in Autocad 2019.

I tried to change ctb file, I tried to select everything, copy and paste in an empty dwg, but there's always the same problem.
The others drawings of project, with almost the same setting, are ok, so I know there's something wrong with *this* file, but I can't understand what it is.

Thank a lot if you can help.

I opened your file by command RECOVER and errors detected.
I used PUBLISH and plot all Layouts to one PDF, without a problem.
 
I tried that without recovering (Open the file by command open) and start publishing => Crash
 
So you have to open the file by Recover (or use AUDIT yes after open the file with open), this command fix the Problem and save the file.
There is a problem with sortents an more important a self-reference  Block:
Prüft Objekte Durchgang 1

Durchgang 1 3000 Objekte geprüftAcDbSortentsTable(1A18F)
Error for Entry (303E53A,404385B) eDuplicateKey fixed

You should also purge RegApps.

I followed the directions and I'm still getting the error code when I try to print or publish. Is there another work around? Is there a way to fix my file?

Thanks for the help!
