Opening PDF with missing font immediately saves file as .ai
Opening a pdf which has fonts not available on your system results in an immediate save as .ai after dismissing the replace font dialog. Occasionally Illustrator will then stop accepting mouse clicks, as though it has a open dialog box waiting for an action.
Lockup aside, the expected behavior is the file isn't saved.
Started with the latest version of Illustrator, running on MacOS 14.8

-
Three more files that do it. One call for an Arial I don’t have, the other two just save as ai within a second or two of opening. These are downloads from McMaster Carr
-
PDFs from other folks, always local files. Fonts vary.
These three files have the problem, though interestingly the Elavation files just immediately save and don’t have any fonts, so maybe the missing font is coincidental.
I ran across a couple more today as well, will try & remember which ones.

Vernon, please tell more. What fonts are missing, are these local or are form the Adobe Fonts, where the file is located (locally or on a network drive), was it made by you or another user, do you see it with another PDFs, can you reproduce it from scratch?
Please share the file also, if you can, via sharewithai@adobe.com (and mention the report’s link, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51618557)
