Thumbs up Speed up PDF loading with Adobe Acrobat!

It took me far too many years to finally get sick of how slow Adobe Acrobat loads PDF files. It was taking between 10 and 30 seconds to load a single file. How could this be? Well, I found a solution and I highly recommend it to everyone, everywhere - it’s that good.

Adobe Acrobat is not only slow loading pages , also it consumes lot of resources.
There are better PDF viewing software available, that also use less memory.

Cool Re: Speed up PDF loading with Adobe Acrobat!

Watz the need for adobe acrobat reader for viewing pdf files when u can use FOXIT READER to view pdf files.....It has almost 80-85% features which adobe acrobat reader has...Its not bulky as adobe coz it consumes 60MB of hard disk space while foxit reader consumes 0nly only ;;;;;1.5MB of space

I use Acrobat Pro... foxit cant be a replacement for that....
And if u enable Acrobat Speedlaunch in startup...acrobat pro loads a bit faster considering it hogs up some memory from the start.
But i generally need to use it for e-books, and i do that while downloading torrents....so Azureus+acrobat isnt all that trouble

And if you cant do with Acrobat Reader (Some applications need it .. For example Boson Netsim), you might wanna try Adobe Reader Speedup which I was using prior to Foxit ..

I use unattended switchless installer of Adobe Reader from RyanVM's site. Loads in a blink, all speedup options pre-configured.
