A job I drew this morning [dwg], when printed to PDF, found the PDF opens, displays as it should, but closes in 4 seconds.
I rebooted a number of times, updated adobe, problem still exists.
Sent the PDF to a tech guy, he said it opens ok his end.
EXPERIMENTS
The issue is only with AutoCAD LT 2025 [been using 2025 some months now no problems]. It just appeared out of nowhere this morning.
Any ideas?

SOLUTION FOUND
In PDF reader, MENU/HELP/REPAIR INSTALLATION.... follow prompts.
Hope that helps someone... Have a great day!
Solution I gave last post, worked for a day or two. The problem has returned. It only happens with PDF documents created in AutoCADLT_2025. Printer is "DWG to PDF.pc3" Is anyone else experiencing this?
My tech guy reloaded Adobe PDF reader. Yet problem remains, but only with recent PDF's cretaed in Acad2025LT. Older PDF documents work fine. PDF's created in other programs work fine, so, i am suspecting the glitch is in AutoCADLT2025?
Don't use the DWG to PDF.pc3 file. Try using the ADOBE PDF printer instead (highlighted in the image below)

Thank you. But no Adobe PDF shows up in my list.
Been using as is for about 12 years... Not sure how to add one to the plotter manager list.
@iant123DM83S sorry my fault. Try the inbuilt PDF printers instead. You can see them listed in the image I posted (they're the ones immediately below the highlighted printer)

Umm, no: that driver would be very unique to you and no one else, even if they had the same exact name.
Where did you get such advice from? AutoCAD comes bundled with 5-total PDF drivers.
@pendean I did correct myself a few posts down
