Acrobat pauses for 30sec when opening any pdf

Acrobat pauses for 30 seconds after I open any pdf. It will bring up the document, but I cannot do anything with it, like zoom, scroll, or even highligh buttons. If I click on anything, the menu bar will white out. After ~30 seconds, the menu bar goes back to normal and everything works perfectly. If I have Acrobat already open and then open a file, I usually do not have this problem. If I open a file holding down the shift key it still pauses. I can create pdf's no problem and have no other errors, just the pause on opening.
I have Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.3.0 and all the updates. I have tried repairing the install. Removing and uninstalling and no change. Running on a Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 1GB ram, Win XP. No other problems with the computer. This is just really frustrating when opening a lot of files searching for something. Thanks for any help.

Apparently it is the update from 9.0.0 to 9.3.0 that is causing this.
No update, no problems.

    Figured I would open this again since the previous post was marked as answered....and the problem persists.

    No change when "Use 2D Graphics acceleration" checked or unchecked.
    I had been using Acrobat 8 Pro and did not have any problems with it.

    I am having the exact same issue... it's so frustrating! Does anyone have a solution to this?
    Running CS4 on a Core i7 workstation w/ Win 7 64-bit, latest BIOS and video card drivers (ATI Radeon 4890). Acrobat is version 9.3 with all updates. It freezes for 30 seconds just as described, every single time you launch it.

    Can't find a bytecode file to load.

    Where is the source of this problem ?

    The issue is only happening on their computer. I have the same computer model, but 2 lower and I have no problems doing anything in AR. What could be the problem and how can I help my parents fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

    Hi raptorsama,
    Is there any specific error that comes?
    You might need to navigate to ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader'', then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.
    If this does not work, then follow these standard steps as given below:
    > Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 (Ref: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
    > Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services
    (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
    > Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
    > Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check
    You can also go for a repair option by selecting 'Repair Adobe Reader Installation' option under the Help menu.

  • Latest Reader Hangs when opening any pdf with 'tools' selected

    Any pdf will hang when opened in the latest Acrobat Reader (Either from file or open Acrobar Reader first.)
    However if I first open Reader and turn off the tools (Tools top right) I can then open any pdf without problems.
    Users who want to have the tools bar open are querying this.
    Can anyone help.
    Windows 7 64 bit systems.

    Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Error when opening =any= PDF with Reader

    Hi!  Since installing the new Reader software, I keep getting the same error message whenever I try to open =any= PDF, from those on my system for some time to those just downloaded.
    The error message says:
    Attempt to access invalid address
    I can open any PDF with Sumatra or Foxit, so it's not in the file...

    Hi  Bruce,
    Are you using EMET Antivirus? I have seen the issue caused due to this. Try disabling it and  check.
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
    Regards,

  • Acrobat X (only) pauses for minutes when opening a new PDF

    If I just had a PDF file open, close it, then reopen it, Acrobat X (specifically) won't pause. But if I try to open a new PDF file, Acrobat X will open it but then will hang for as long as 3 minutes before letting me edit it.
    Why does Acrobat X do this.
    Thanx for any replies.
    Slowly

    I see this behavior too.    It hangs and won't accept mouse commands for 30 seconds when opening a new document.   It also won't let me close the window "application not responding."  

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard/Pro freezing when opening large PDF documents

    Ok, I have a tough one. Adobe Acrobat X Standard/Pro keeps freezing when opening large documents that exceed approx. 50 pages. These PDF documents contain large images and graphs for mining purposes, but no links. The issue impacts multiple users on multiple laptops/desktops. We have tried the following:
    - Uninstalling/re-installing Adobe Acrobat
    - Disabling Enhanced Security in Acrobat Preferences
    - Resetting local user profiles
    - Changing Reading Preferences to view current visible pages only
    - Installing Adobe Acrobat XI
    This issue has only occurred after upgrading users to a Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit Operating System.
    The only possible solution I have managed to find is changing a registry key that permanently disables the Enhanced Security options in Acrobat. This solution however, only worked on brand new user profiles. Resetting user profiles throughout our entire company is not something we are even going to consider.
    If anyone would like more information that I have missed, please feel free to ask.

    Another possibility to check is the free space in the TEMP folder. I believe Acrobat uses the TEMP folder for temporary storage. You might even consider increasing the size of the TEMP folder. At least this is something else to check.

  • How do I stop my Reader version 11.0.1 from crashing when opening any PDF file?

    I've had this problem since yesterday and it started very suddenly but now I cannot view any of my files because the reader crashes after a few seconds. I cannot use the app at all, please help!
    The files I'm trying to view on my reader are not new, meaning that they used to work just fine without causing the reader to crash. So I don't think that is the problem.
    I've also already checked that I have plenty of space on my iPad so the problem shouldn't be related to memory either.
    The next step, I guess, would be to remove and reinstall the app but then I'll lose all my neatly organized files.
    The reader is version 11.0.1 and my iOS is version 7.0.4.
    I'd appreciate any help I can get because this app is what I mainly use my iPad for and, as I said, now it's not working at all.

    Try resetting your iPad: Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time. Keep holding them down until you see the Apple logo, then let go. Reopen Reader.

  • Acrobat Pro hangs up when opening files

    When opening any pdf, Acrobat Pro displays page 1 but then becomes unresponsive for a minute or more.  I run on a laptop and find that turning my wireless off returns program control.  Manually checking for updates tells me there are none available.  Please tell me how to stop this obnoxious behavior.

    Thank you for that answer.  I checked, and mine were turned off.  However, I ran a program earlier today that may have turned it off.  I’ll wait a few days and see if the problem persists before marking this problem corrected.  But I really appreciate your email!  Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.

    How can I call the method only when it launches on desktop.
    Please help me to solve the issue.

  • I renewed my Acrobat Standard on my mac and now it says it won't work on mac.  Can't open any pdf's.  Help!

    CAn't open any pdf files after updating my Acrobat.  What do I do now?

    I'm afraid I don't really understand what you've done. How could you renew Acrobat Standard on a Mac when it isn't available for Mac? But you say you "updated" it, suggesting it was actually installed before. Please tell us more.
