I would suspect Nitro Pro to have a print-to-PDF component that registers as an
active printer when run. LibreOffice would attempt to read the "printer"
details, even "querying" the printer for its page settings.

Since it is hanging, not crashing, for anything definitive we would need a
WinDbg back trace with symbols [1] of the attached soffice.bin process when it
hangs with Nitro Pro running.

Ronny, or someone with Nitro Pro installed, would need to configure for that
and then provide. Either forcing a dunp (of the hung process), or interactively
from the WinDbg console with a "~* kp" command [2].

[2]  The Mozilla folks provide some help for poking at FireFox. The same
process, just attach to soffice.bin. As here:
