Get Acrobat Reader to open up faster

  • Artikel

Get Acrobat Reader to open up faster – Go to your Acrobat\Reader folder and take everything from the "plug_ins" folder and move it into "Optional" except the following: Search.api, Search5.api, IA32.api, EWH32.api, EScript.api.

    You could also use "PDF SpeedUp" and let the tool do all the work (http://www.acropdf.com/pdfsu.exe).

    Ian,

    I haven't heard of that problem with Acrobat. If you put the files back and test again, it should help you troubleshoot the issue.

    Thanks,

    What about the 6.0 Pro version? It doesn't store things the same way.
