100% cpu when scrolling in Adobe Reader 8.1.2

I've installed Reader 8.1.2 on a 2003 Windows server STD Edition with SP1. Everytime I open a pdf document (regardless of what's contained in it)and I scroll using the mouse or the scroll bar the AcroRd32.exe process spikes near 100% utilization. The effect is, scrolling slows down extremely slow and you loose control of the scrolling until it stops. Once the scrolling stops the CPU utilization comes back down to zero for the AcroRd32.exe process.
Side note, I've tried different types of pdf documents, some with plain text and some with pictures. The same result occurs every time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also have this problem. 2 gig ram / athlon 2400+ @ 2.0 GHz. Adobe reader 9.0.0.0
Save yourself the headache and dump adobe. Since they haven't responded i'd give up hope on them. I'm using an alternative open source alternative. sumatra pdf. Initially opening a pdf it's quite slow but after that it's infinitely better than scrolling h311 with adobe's reader.

100% cpu when scrolling over 2 pages

When I scroll down or up in a PDF document and that two pages appears at the same time ( the bottom of page 1 and the top of page 2 ), the scrolling become very slow, and the cpu pop to 100%. I noticed that on all computers. If you want to see an extreme case, ask me to send you one of the PDF of a laboratory. In this one the scrolling go down to something like 2-3fps, that's incredible. In other pdf if slow down but not so much, but it still slow down.
I have a very recent computer with a x1400 inside, so it's not the tnt2 thing. I'm running on XP, and the version of the reader is 8.1.2. I already disabled all the "smooth" things to see if there is a difference, but none was noticed. Oh by the way it's not very huge documents, something around 16 pages.
I wonder if I can change something in the options to allow the reader to scroll softly and fast thruout an entire document? It's so disturbing that I found more usable to print the document than to review it in the reader.

I have exactly the same problem with version 8.1.2. I can read this document better on my old computer running version 5.1

How can I rotate a PDF document when viewing in adobe reader?

That hardware button can actually be toggled to work either as a mute button, or a lock orientation button. This can be edited at the settings screen.

I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don't want my buyers to have to hassle with rotating.

I don’t want to hassle my buyers with rotating. There was no option in Preview to account for this automatic and unwanted rotation.

Then you rotate it and SAVE or SAVE AS and it will remain that way.

PDF file is distorted when opened in Adobe Reader, but not in Photoshop.

I used Photoshop to create a PSD file with multiple layers, then saved as PDF. When then using Adobe Reader to open the PDF, the layers look different. What is causing this and how do you fix?

Never heard of such an issue. Can you share such a PDF with the forum? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader.

The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader. How can I get rid of these? Why is this happening? The pdf was created from a presentation in powerpoint and uses the links for some interactivity.

That's a great feature request. I'd like the ability to turn off the blue boxes over hyperlinks as well.

Hey Vicky,
Using Adobe Reader on your iPAD, you cannot add new bookmarks.

When I download Adobe Reader, it asks for a password. It doesn't accept my Adobe password. What password is it searching for?

Then try leaving the password field blank and hitting enter. If that doesn't work, you have a password (and would be beyond the help available in the Adobe forums).
