Acrobat 9 faster?

Any word on the speed/stability of Acrobat 9? We all know version 8 is a turd because it hangs the browser too long among other problems. I know a few corporate users are staying with 6 or 7 or non-Adobe solutions due to problems, but I would rather progress if the product is improved. Should our we stay with 6, 7, 8 or 9?

I haven't noticed any difference in speed or stability between 8 and 9.

Acrobat X fast web view

Anyone who knows how to set up fast web view in Acrobat 10 Action Wizard? See below comparison on Acrobat 9 & 10 Output Ooptions. There is no Fast Web view option in Acrobat 10.

There is a bug because of which fast web view is always disabled. While that is fixed, here the workaround. Save the action and open the .sequ file in Notepad. Change:
/OptimizePDF [/b false]
to
/OptimizePDF [/b true]

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro v. 11.0.10 Slow Loading and Crashing

Hello,
I’m really hoping that anyone can please help me. I’ve upgraded to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro version 11.0.10 on a Dell Optiplex 7010 Intel Core i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 8 GB RAM, 64-bit OS, running Windows 7 Professional. When first starting the program, almost every time, it gives a “not responding” message with the spinning blue swirl icon, and then finally responds, so I was wondering if there was anything that I could do to help speed it up considerably.
I don’t have a lot of programs running on this computer, and all of the other ones run fine. The only programs that I have running normally are Microsoft Outlook, the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, FileMaker Pro 11v3, Sophos Endpoint Security and Control, v 10.3, and Pidgin 2.10.11.
If there anything that you would recommend doing that would make Adobe Acrobat run faster?
The only plugin that I have for Acrobat is Enfocus Pitstop Pro 11 update 2.
I noticed that if I have a website open for work that uses Adobe Flash, it seems that more often than not, Adobe Acrobat tends to crash or give that “not responding” error, but unfortunately I need those websites open for work.
Any help would be so much appreciated. I really hope to hear from you soon. I really need help with this.

Commenting features slowing Acrobat 9.0.3 to a crawl

I was wrong in my previous thread about Adobe Updater being the culprit for the horrendous slowdowns in Acrobat Pro 9.0.2. Updater.acroplugin is not the problem.
Apparently, the commenting feature of Acrobat is what grinds it to a halt. If I disable any one of the plugins required for the comments option to show up in the menu bar (AcroForm.acroplugin, WebLink.acroplugin, EFS.acroplugin, and possibly others), Acrobat becomes excruciatingly slow.
Does anyone know of a way to make the commenting feature of Acrobat move faster? It takes about 30 seconds for it to respond to any click or movement of the mouse.

OH. MY GOSH. IT'S FIXED!!
I have spend the past 2 hrs on the phone with Adobe and Apple tech support. Adobe had me try creating a brand new user account and opening Acrobat. It opened fine with commenting enabled. So that seemed to indicate that the problem was somewhere in my User library.
So after trying various things that didn't fix it, including deleting the entire preferences folder, and starting in safe mode (hold down shift while rebooting until you see the grey apple, then wait 10-15 minutes for it to load).
Finally, he had me pull this folder out and move it to the desktop:
HD: userfolder: homefolder: library: application support: adobe: acrobat
After that, like magic, it works at full speed again.
He warned that he has no idea what Adobe might need that folder for, so you shouldn't trash it completely, but leave it on the desktop until you know for sure.
I'm happy once again! I hope this solves your problem too.

Required plugins

Hi,
What are the required plugins needed in order for Acrobat 8 to run? We need both Koday Prinergy plugins and Pitstop plugins but would like to get rid of all other non-essential plugins in order to help Acrobat run faster.
thanks,
Mike

Is there any place that lists what each stock acrobat 8 plugin does and its dependancies with other plugins? I found somewhere a search of these forums something about certain plugins needed other plugins to load in order for Acrobat to function without crashing. I only really need a few stock features like find and the output previewer plus the Kodak and Enfocus tools.
Thank,
Mike

Acrobat 9.3.4 (or 9.3.3.177): Save As with Optimize for Fast Web View

When I do a Save As with Optimize For Fast Web View checked, the saving stops and an Adobe Acrobat dialog displays:
The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (111).
If I uncheck Optimize For Fast Web View, the Save As seems to work.
Is there a way to have Fast Web View work with Save As?
Acrobat.exe is version 9.3.4 (or 9.3.3.177 in the properties). The Acrobat.DLL version is 9.3.4.218.

Thanks. I did submit a report at the site. I hope somebody reads it as this is a big problem for us.
Thanks again.

Acrobat Pro 10 Actions Not Applying Fast Web View

Acrobat Pro 10 actions are pretty useful overall, however they are not applying Fast Web View all the time. In my opinion, all PDFs generated today should be Fast Web View by default, but among the many applications which allow for PDF creation, not all apply Fast Web View for some reason.
I did see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3335827for a potential band-aid fix. Unfortunately, it did not work for me.
Here is the text from my Action sequence file:
<</Commands [/c << /0 [/c << /Config [/c <<   /UIPolicy [/i 3]
>>]
/HandlerName [/a /FlattenOCGs]
/Params [/c <<>>]
/Title [/t ()]

/HandlerName [/a /ReduceFileSize]
/Params [/c <<   /RFSCompatibility [/i 6]

/Title [/t (Reduce File Size)]

/2 [/c << /Config [/c <<   /UIPolicy [/i 3]

/HandlerName [/a /ExamineDocCmd]
/Params [/c <<   /RmAnnots [/b false]
   /RmAttachments [/b false]

   /RmDeletedContent [/b true]
   /RmFormFields [/b true]
   /RmHiddenLayers [/b true]
   /RmHiddenText [/b false]
   /RmLinksActionsJS [/b false]
   /RmMetadata [/b false]
   /RmOverlappingObjects [/b false]
   /RmSearchIndex [/b false]
>>]
/Title [/t (Remove Hidden Information)]

/Output [/c << /AddToBaseName [/b false]
/DontOverwrite [/b false]
/EmbedIndex [/b false]
/FileVariation [/i 2]
/HandleOutput [/b true]
/NumbericNaming [/b false]
/OptimizePDF [/b true]
/PresetName [/t (test2)]
/RunPDFOptimizer [/b true]
>>]
>>
As you can see, the "/OptimizePDF [/b true]" is set per the instructions in the aforementioned link. It still does not set Fast Web View all the time. I ran a test of the action on a batch of 10 PDFs, some were set to Fast Web View and some were not. While one of the PDFs that was not set to Fast Web View was open in Acrobat, I ran the same Action again and it did apply Fast Web View! I even installed the latest patch hoping that would fix it, but unfortunately it did not. Distiller does in fact set Fast Web View, but it won't work on PDFs. The only way I can find to guarantee the establishment of Fast Web View is to manually do a Save As on every file which I think is asking a bit much when you deal with hundreds of PDFs on any given day. Also that would effectively defeat the purpose of running an Action on hundreds of PDFs in the first place.
Any ideas?

There is a bug because of which fast web view is always disabled. While that is fixed, here the workaround. Save the action and open the .sequ file in Notepad. Change:
                /OptimizePDF [/b false]
to
                /OptimizePDF [/b true]

Enable Fast Web View in Acrobat 8

I want to do SaveAs in Acrobat Professional 8 to Enable Fast Web View to be "Yes" using VB or .Net or Java.
Can any body help me?
Thanks in Advances.

Tricky one. It might not be possible, since modifying to PDF/A might turn off optimization, while optimizing might turn off PDF/A... I think people have largely lost interest in fast web view since broadband is mostly so, well, broad.

"Fast Web View" not supported in Acrobat X plug-in for FireFox/Chrome

The Acrobat X plug-in for displaying PDFs in FireFox/Chrome does NOT support fast web view. This means that PDFs don't display until after the entire file has been download.
For example, try viewing this document in either IE(Windows) or Safari(Mac):
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference.pdf
Notice how it opens very quickly, and then you can scroll around and view all the content as the PDF content strreams in? In Safari you can see the download progress like you used to be able to see in all versions of the acrobat plug-in. Note also that in the IE version, although fast web view is working, you cannot see the download progress like you used to be able to... Thats an issue, but not nearly as bad as the real issue...
Now try clicking the same link in either FireFox or Chrome (note that in Chrome you need to be sure that Chrome's PDF viewer is turned off and the acrobat plug-in is enabled). Note that the PDF is not displayed until the entire file is downloaded.
This feature is VITAL for viewing large documents online. I'm astonished that this has not been reported by other users.
Adobe -- PLEASE be sure that this gets fixed in the next update to Reader X!! I was shocked to see that it was not fixed in 10.1.

WHY would you want to disable this? Linearized "Fast Web View" enabled PDF are the right and proper type of document to be created.

PDF fast web view option don't work like the specification Acrobat Reader suggest...

I have an optimized/linear PDF file for support fast web viewing option.
My issue is about the plugin comportment. In the Adobe specification, when the plugin receive a large optimized PDF file, he suppose to be began to read and show the PDF file after the first page received from the web server.
In my case it's not worked properly. The plugin show me the PDF file after the download finish.
When I check the Acrobat Reader 8.1 internet settings, all fast web view options are checked properly.
If I look the PDF file properties the fast web view value is yes.
I don't know what is wrong in my setup.
Some help will be appreciate.
Thank's.

If the file is public, I suggest you post the URL for others to try
out.

Why Foxit reader is faster than Adobe Acrobat ?

I see Foxit open faster pdfs than Adobe, do you have the same better open time ?

What version of Adobe Acrobat? Or is it the free Adobe Reader?

Touchscreen scrolling is too fast / broken in Acrobat 10.1.5 on Windows 7

Open a document more than 100 pages and try touch scrolling up and down in Windows 7. The document scrolls WAY too fast, making it necessary to use the scrollbar. Document should scroll at the speed of the gesture. At the very least there should be an option to adjust the sensitivity.
This basically breaks touchscreen scrolling, especially for people with hand impairments.
Is there a way to fix this behavior?

Photoshop CS6 PDFs will not open in Adobe Acrobat

Photoshop CS6; Windows 8
I've been using Photoshop to create reduced size PDFs. I've never had a problem with CS6 until the passed week. When I click to save for PDF no "error" dialogue box appears. However, when I try to open the new file in Adobe Acrobat reader a dialogue box says "Out of memory". Also, in my windows explorer, the file shows up as just a white box in the "Preview" side panel.
What am I not doing correctly all of a sudden? I've been sticking with the same preferences and Save settings since I first started using Photoshop CS5.

Have you updated Acrobat/ Adobe Reader recently? If so, this update may have introduced a compatibility issue in the globally shared Adobe PDF libraries. Either that or the update never went through properly and now you have a botched Acrobat. Do otehr PDFs from different sources open? If not, that would be a strong hint that you may need to reinstall/ repair Acrobat. It's also possible that you may have enabled sandboxing in the Acrobat Security prefs (or an update did) and thus Acrobat refuses to open certain files, if it can't determine their origins. One more thing that comes to mind: Have you tried saving the file twice in a row under the same name? Sometimes this stuff happens too fast (on SSD drives and such) and Windows doesn't update file security info in time (or your virus scanner can't keep up) and the resulting file is useless. Overwriting it with the same file would then yield correct results.

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hi!
I'd like to start using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 with Acrobat.com, but I don't get very far before I get the error message "
Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close." This happens after I click "distribute form" and fill out the email addresses. It get to the point of starting to publish the response files and then the error message pops up and I can't go any further. I've made sure to uninstall older versions of Acrobat and I restarted my computer. I have a PC and am running Windows XP and IE 7. Help!

Bill:
Thanks for all the tips. Actually I already did most of this (multiple times) to no avail.
·         I’m running Win XP Pro SP3 on a Dell Latitude D630 laptop with 2GB memory.
·         I Bought Acrobat 7 Standard (it came bundled with my scanner) so I do have that CD and the key
·         I purchased the upgrade to Acrobat 9 Standard on-line for $99.
·         Actually, everything was working fine until I uninstalled ATM. (I did that because my laptop wouldn’t undock or hibernate and I read that ATM could be the cause.)
·         I’ve done several repairs from Control Panel. Didn’t help.
·         Finally, this morning I decided to uninstall everything and install a trial version of Adobe 9 PRO from their web site. That didn’t work either.
·         I notice that none of these actions has brought ATM back. On the other hand, I can’t find a place from where I can download ATM either.
Here’s the really funny thing. Acrobat is not completely broken. I can actually get it to work for the first few seconds. And if I type real fast, I can even save the pdf file that it opens before it crashes! For example, if I click on a pdf file on a web page and it is small enough that it opens right away, I can click the save button and hit OK immediately (don’t mind where it saves the file, I can find and move it later) before I get the “Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” message. The same happens if I just open Acrobat and let it sit. It doesn’t crash immediately. It takes about 5 seconds before it does.
This should give a clue as to where/why it is crashing.
Tomorrow I’m going to try and get Adobe on a chat line and have them take a look.
Let me know if you get any other good ideas. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Thanks,
Jamshed Mulla

Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

Hey
I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
MY WISH -
Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.
