I'm receiving the above error in AutoCAD LT 2018 whenever I plot. This started happening today. No new updates to my computer to my computer that I know of.

Is the problem in one file, or ALL files?
Anyone else in your office with this new problem?

Does it crash is you start PAGESETUP command? If not, can you change to one of the PDF drivers, then start PLOT and plot to that PDF driver without crashing?

Hello @Anonymous, 

Since you seem to receive this error when attempting to plot. Please try conducting the steps below:  

1. Apply the latest AutoCAD Updates | AutoCAD 2017-2019 Combo Security Hotfix 
2. Update the Plotter Drivers
3. Rather then plotting, try printing to PDF try PC3 types like DWG to PDF or AutoCAD PDF

The issue occurs only once plotting starts to occur. In working with Tim from AutoDesk support, it seemed to be just around the "PDF - Smallest File.pc3" driver. The "High Quality" driver works.

Thank you! I will try these solutions as well! Attached is the message from Tim as well.
