Acrobat 9 Pro Slow opening and closing pdf files - "Not Responding"

I was responsible for pushing to get and keep 25 enterprises licenses for Adobe Acrobat Pro Vers 9. Corporate is pushing Blue Beam!
We are on Acrobat Pro Vers. 9.3.1. Windows XP Pro 32 bit OS.  (PCs and laptops 1 - 3 years old, min 2 GB RAM, 2.1 GHz CPUs)
Recently pdf files have been slow to open and close to the degree that windows .  It's to the point where I thought we were having network issues since this the problem is widespread.  However, it can occur when opening files on the local machine as well.  Worse, it's intermittent.  We do not run any add-ins, 3rd party or Adobe.  Most of these file run from 25kb in size to 2MB, rarely are they 5MB+.
I just installed 9.3.2 and will keep an eye on it.  Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what might be causing this or, what to look for?
Thanks!
Brian

Thanks Brennao.  Our Organizer90 files were 7MB - 9MB.  I've deleted them on my PC and a couple of others.  Adobe help was no help for disabling the the Organizer.  I had to search the forums again to find out where to do that, and low and behold, the app apparently defaults to store data for 12 months!  I've change the setting to "Don't Remember PDFs", on the same PCs and am monitoring the performance to see if this is the "Silver Bullet".  If it works we'll put the instructions in our company FAQs.

  • Does Acrobat Pro read the content in pdf file and transforms it?

    Does Acrobat Pro read the content in pdf file and transforms it to xls file without the need for much changes or manual work?

    Acrobat X (Standard and Pro) will save tabular data to XLS or XLSX format, provided it can recognize the table as being a table. If the PDF has missing or incorrect structure tags, Acrobat will try to guess the table layout by the position of text and lines on the page - this works well for basic formatting but if the table has complex styling, spanned cells etc. it can lead to problems.
    Acrobat X will even attempt to export a table within a scanned document, by applying OCR during the export stage - though again this relies on the table being visually identified.
    See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/pdf-to-word-excel-converter.html and this article on how to extract one table from a larger document.

    Can you use PDF Pack to open and read PDF files?

    Hi Keith,
    PDF Pack is a conversion tool which would convert PDF to different formats and vice versa. It cannot be used for reading PDFs.
    If you want to open and read PDF file you can use Adobe Reader.
    You can download Adobe Reader from below mentioned link.

    let me know if you have any other questions.

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space or click the Firefox icon on the title bar and see if you can resize that window.
    If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

  • Acrobat Pro X reloaded and cannot combine files

    I had to reload Acrobat Pro X - now I cannot add single page PDFs to multi-page PDFs or combine PDFs

    The program "spins" and finally says "Program not responding", so I close it! Problem solved though and I did it myself! I realoded the program, then went back in and updated it and addded LiveCycle, etc. All is well and thanks so much for your response. That tooks me 3 days to figure out. I think Adobe needs to be a "fail-safe" when you download Acrobat Pro XI so that it doesn't delete your previous version. I had to get permission from our IT department to reinstall etc.
    Thanks again!

  • Ini_ReadFromFile - open and closing of file

    When I use the function 'Ini_ReadFromFile()' does it handle the "open" of the file and getting of the file handle, read the contents into memory and then "close" the file and releasing of the file handle?  I believe it does but it is not clear and I do not see it stated in the documentation.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You are correct that this is not mentioned in the documentation - you can use the link 'Submit feedback on this topic' at the bottom of the respective help page in the helpfile of CVI to notify NI about this omission.
    If you look at the two sample projects with respect to ini files you will see that indeed there is no explicit open or close command, so reading or writing an ini file works without explicitly opening or closing the file.

  • FBCJ-Opening and Closing balance do not appear in Language Hungary

    *Hello Friends*
    *I am getting a typical problem, as when I see the cash balance in FBCJ with language English, both opening and closing balance are proper, but when I login with Language Hungary(HU) both opening and closing balance disappears and is totally blank. Kindly facilitate me to get the solution*
    *Thanks you in advance*
    *Best Regards*
    *Prashant S*

    Dear
    Thanks for the reply
    The default log in language is DE (German). I agree with you if the problem is with description, but the problem is with amount in opening and closing balance and description is proper, so what is the relevance with support package to do with amount.
    Please facilitate and reply

  • Open and edit PDF files like sharepoint

    In sharepoint when we open a PDF document, an ActiveX control gets installed, and the file opens in Adobe Reader installed at the client machine. There is also an additional menu item that allows the file to be checked in back to the server.
    I need to achieve a similar kind of functionality for my application. Can some one guide me on where I need to start?
    The purpose here is to automate the task of downloading the PDF file, editing it and then uploading it back to server.
    I am ok if there is any way the file can be opened in the browser itself and then edited and saved (like by using any activeX control).
    Are there any tools or licenses I need to buy for this ?
    Thanks

    Adobe Reader won't but Acrobat Pro XI can open the same document in two windows and it updates both as you make changes "on the fly"...
    The downside? $499.
    Acrobat Standard is $299 and I  don't know if it can do the "one doc two window" editing.

  • Uh-oh, Acrobat Pro 9 opens all recent pdfs automatically!

    For some reason Acrobat now wants to open every pdf in my recent history folder when the application opens.  Since I work with large print files, this 'feature' locks up my 6GB of RAM quickly enough to bring my computer to its knees in a matter of seconds.
    I'm running Windows 7 x64, but I had this happen to me on my Windows XP workstation a few months ago.  I ended up reinstalling the program to fix it, but does anybody have an idea of what causes this or if there is a registry edit I can make to delete my pdf history?
    Thank you, you smart, sexy people.

    Anton,
    I to had this problem just today and could not find any good help on file associations. I am running XP Pro on Windows. I uninstalled CS2 and still had CS3 on the computer. All associations for InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop went away. The only information I could find did not work.
    This is what I did and it worked. I opened Control Panel, then File Options, and then the tab "File Types". I scrolled to the INDD extension and highlighted it. Then I chose the Advanced Tab, selected "new", typed in "Open" for the action and selected the InDesign.exe file. All Indd files associated with InDesign CS3.
    I also repeated the same to get the AI and PSD files to associate.
    I hope this is the right way to make the change, no guarantees, but so far it is working. Even CS and CS2 file versions show the CS3 logo and open correctly.

    You can get A converter that will convert between PDF, EPS, and PS
    file formats. It works on a Windows, Mac, or LINUX/UNIX box, and is
    called AFPL Ghostscript. You can dowload it for free at
    http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
    The site also has a large amount of documentation on using it,(as well
    as a free viewer) b
    ut I haven't had a lot of time to experiment with
    it.
