This bug is 100% reproducible for me as follows: [...]
WORKAROUND: As noted in previous comments, use the newer PDF-XChange Editor instead (https://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor). It's more future-proof anyway, as it supersedes the Viewer (see https://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer). MSI installer was tested - works like a charm (version 5.5.312.1).
Just a speculation: This could be related to bug 27502 "app freezes when WM_KILLFOCUS creates modal dialog".
PDF-XChange *Viewer* crashes while the saving indication window (the one with the moving bars) is there. While PDF-XChange *Editor* saves without showing such a window and doesn't crash.
