Acrobat X Slow Repainting when switching windows

Specs: Acrobat 10.0.2 on Win7 64bit with 3GB memory, 500GB Drive, 100GB free space, Dual Core 2.5ghz, Nvidia Quadro, all patches installed (MS and ADOBE)
Apps in use: With minimal (IE/Firefox or Explorer) or many apps (excel/word/powerpoint, IM, etc) open the issue occurs the same.
PDF FILES: All, no difference in impact from a 1 page to 60 page PDF
Problem: Open a PDF from explorer and it displays fine, no issues. Once I try to change window focus Acrobat freezes and then repaints the screen slowly to the point that I can see it repaint the File,Edit,View,Window,Help pull down menus.  Once the repaint is done the new window I was switching to appears. Until the window appears the system is sluggish as if all the resources are going into painting the window. (in fact the cpu does spike to 100% while this is happening).
Other info:
1) Switching mode (clicking/alt-tab/open window icon) makes no difference same behavior, hovering over the window will cause the system to slow down and cpu to spike.
2) Does not occur with any other application, when ACROBAT is closed this does not happen when changing windows.
3) Same symptoms occur on other Win 7 machines (32 and 64) but running Acrobat X.
thanks,
MC

As a debugging step, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that fails, repeat with print-to-file selected. Assuming the print succeeds, open the file in Distiller to complete the creation of the PDF. If you get the PDF, then check to see if AcroTray is properly working as a background task.

  • Keep Preview playing when switching windows?

    Is there any possible way to keep Preview playing the file when switching windows? For example, pressing the space bar on .mp3 file begins playing it in Preview, however when switching windows, the preview pauses until you go back to the finder window. This is annoying when browsing .mp3's to play while doing other things. Any ideas?

    I think you mean QuickLook, not Preview. And no, QuickLook is not intended to work that way--it is a way to do just what its name says: provide a quick looksee at the files in an open Finder window.
    As for ideas: why not just open them in iTunes?
    If you don't want to add them to iTunes, you can put the folder with the mp3s into Column View, make sure the box for "show preview column" is checked in View Options, then click directly on the icon for the file in the preview column (as your mouse moves over the icon, you will see the stylish play button appear on top of the icon). It will continue to play no matter what else you are doing.

  • Images maximize (full screen) when switching windows?

    When working with two or more images in Fireworks CS3 (Mac OSX 10.5.7)....
    The image windows blast into full screen display when switching between images. I am new to CS3, (convert from Studio 8) but cannot find where to stop this irritating behaviour. I can correct by selecting Window>>Cascade - temporarily... But, when I click on another image window, that image blasts into full-screen again.
    How can I stop this?
    I really hate posting (usually preferring instead to lurk and scour the answers to my questions from previous posts). But, I am forced to post this question in hopes of a quick, simple solution to stop the lurching madness that makes me feel queasy every time my screen blasts an image into full screen mode..
    Any help is appreciated...  really, it is. :-)

    OK, this is possibly a bug.
    After restarting today, the problem did not occur until about an hour working with FW.
    A restart did NOT stop it. So, I restarted again and tried three different files... It was fine for a while and then started the same thing again.
    I am starting to lose hope that it is something I can do to prevent this. It appears that FW and Carbon are not playing together nicely.

  • [SOLVED][KDE, intel] Screen goes gray when switching windows

    Hello,
    on my EEE netbook, since the xorg update, I guess --noticed today, as I use it for school only --, the screen goes gray after I switch windows via alt+tab. This does not happen every time, but eventually it occures. In that case the whole screen has color of not yet painted window, and the DE is seemingly not responding to anything, I can still move my mose though and cursor moves too. Switching to text console works, but xserver restart is needed to get things back to normal.
    I have been using graphics system raster, but change to default didn't solved the issue. The same goes for -lcd font filters. System is up-to-date and uses some SELinux packages from the AUR if that matters, but it should not, as they are not graphics nor DE related.
    Would you have any sugestions? I should not be doing any potentially risky operations till thursday, as I need the computer for school and don't have any other available.
    Thank you.
    Will happily provide additional information, if you specify it.
    EDIT: The situation is simmilar as when I run a program, first a fullscreen window is painted gray, and when everything is loaded its content is painted. This lasts few second in case of big applications like Kontact. In the case of mentioned bug it is like the content of window never painted.
    EDIT: So I recompiled bespin-svn, as I remembered, that this package likes to cause trobles, when it is older, and I wanted to mark this solved, as it behaved during the day, but just few minutes ago, the problem happend again.
    EDIT: I don't understand it. On monday it happed several times during day. On tuesday it happend once. Since wednesday it didn't happend. Sould I start to beleave in ghosts?

    Ok, happend again several times today. Didn't happen at any other PC, but I do not have other Intel based, in case it is graphics related.
    As for log (not like I have an idea what to look for) I have error loading fbdev module and some touchpad errors in xorg.log (not imediatelly after the problem), and some Networkmanager warnings.
    Damn. Now I failed three times in a row to switch from konsole to rekonq in order to copy those logs. Anyway this is tail -n 50 everything.log (right now X11 screen is just gray and mouse cursor). SELinux can be ignored as it is set permissive.

  • Programs crash when switching windows

    Hi, I have had this problem for a while now (about a month after I installed Windows 8.1 on my fresh new computer).
    The issue is when I switch windows (the odds are much greater if I minimise or use the show desktop button in the bottom right), the program may not respond, and require to be forcefully closed in task manager (or spamming the X
    button) to close, then reopened.
    This is not normal behaviour and is starting to get onto my nerves since I constantly have to restart my browser when switching between my IDE and it.
    Just recently it has started closing a particular background program too (Logitech Gaming Software) which is why I am now contacting support to resolve this issue.
    http://imgur.com/uVqpZwg
    This is my step(s) to reproduce the issue.
    I suspect this may have something to do with using an SSD and having a harddrive with my programs on. I modified the %programfiles% system variable and installed all new programs into that location.

    Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
    Click Start Menu
    Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
    Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
    Expand Custom Views
    Click Administrative Events
    Right click Administrative Events
    Save all Events in Custom View As...
    Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
    Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
    Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
    Upload the .zip file to Onedrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
    If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem.  The work around is
    to edit the registry.  If you are not comfortable doing this DONT.  If you are, backup the key before you do
    Press Win+"R" and input regedit

  • Keep text edit active when switching windows

    When editing text, switch document windows then return to the original document. The insertion point is gone, or highlighted text is no longer selected. Instead the active text item is selected. If can be quite a nuisance to have to find the text you were editing or had selected. It makes copying/pasting text between documents much harder than it should be.
    This is either a bug or a stupid feature. Illustrator has enough of both.

    I think you mean QuickLook, not Preview. And no, QuickLook is not intended to work that way--it is a way to do just what its name says: provide a quick looksee at the files in an open Finder window.

It will continue to play no matter what else you are doing.

  • Error: hang on when switching windows

    Hello everybody.
    When I switch to another window (I'm a windows user) it is no more possible to come back to Encore (2.0). This is from today on. I didn't work with it since the end of the last year. Even after reinstalling it. On two computers where it worked properly before.
    I thaught maybe it's because of the change to 2007 and changed the system date back to 2006 - but still the same.
    Any help?
    Thanks

    An observation with a few other Adobe programs: if I have PP2, Photoshop, Audition and maybe some others open, but minimized, when I want to maximize Photoshop (only one that I have noticed this behavior with), I cannot click on it in the Taskbar. I have to rt-click, get the menu, then hit Maximize. I'm usually done with most of the others, when I'm in Encore, and even then, Photoshop responds as it should, along with Encore.
    Try rt-clicking and see if that brings Encore back.

  • Slow performance when resizing windows

    Hi I have a macbook pro 2.2ghz with 2gb ram. Certainly capable of resizing windows, however when I resize windows I get very poor performance. I always have to wait for the window to redraw on screen. This is unacceptable. This powerful of a machine can't resize windows in real time? I'm running Tiger 10.4.11. Is this normal behavior? Anyone else experience this? I appreciate any help. Thanks.

    That's not right. What happens when you run your visualizer in iTunes? You should be able to get 60 FPS. Try running your hardware tester once and see if you may have a graphics problem.

  • ITunes "stutter" when switching windows

    This problem is a bit strange, so I'll explain it as best I can.
    iTunes runs normally (albiet, slowly as usual, it IS still bloated iTunes) while I have its window selected, but if i click on the desktop, internet, or any other window and then click back to iTunes whatever song is playing stutters for a second, my mouse lags, and then everything returns to normal. Anything else continues running normally while this happens. My first thought was that I didn't have enough RAM, but 2gigabytes should be plenty to handle about a 1100 song library (no video, a few podcasts, no pictures). I have a 2ghz processor. The strangest part is, I noticed that, while importing a cd, I could switch from the desktop to the iTunes window without any stutter. The second importing stopped, however, the stutter began again. I'm completely stumped, anybody have any solutions or should I try to use WMP again?

  • Blackberry Hub slow when switching from any account to an Exchange Activesync account

    I'm experiencing a very slow hub when switching from any account (facebook, LinkedIn, Whatsapp, Gmail, etc...) TO my work email using Exchange Activesync. When switching back from Exchange Activesync TO any other account the issue is noy there. It basically takes a couple of minutes to enter the Exchange Activesync acocunt, and looking at the Device Monitor, CPU section, seems like the Hub process is constantly at 50% CPU usage during this time. This is really causing me lots of issues, as of course I switch between accounts quite frequently. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks for the support!

    I'm having the same issue.  What can be causing it.
    It was fine using a Z30 until 10.3.1.1865 was recently updated.
    Switching between all other accounts is fine just when going to my exchange account (or the main hub view)

    Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows  Word Program.  I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

    Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
    When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

  • After upgrading from acrobat 9.5 to XI pro my users have complained on slow typing when filling in form that were created in version 9.5?

    After upgrading from acrobat 9.5 to XI pro my users have complained on slow typing when filling in form that were created in version 9.5?
    The issue is they type but there is 2 second delay when it appears in the field.
    Windows 7 64bit

    I see, I misread your reference to Reader 11 to mean you were using Acrobat 11, but it looks like it worked out anyway.
    The base-14 fonts are special in PDF because they are guaranteed to be available even if they are not embedded. If you select a non-base-14 font for use with a form field, the entire font usually gets embedded, since each glyph it contains has to be available for use with the field. This can take up a lot of space if you do this a lot, and the space isn't reduced if you change back to a base-14 font later because the internal reference to it is not removed. This is caused by the bug I mentioned.
    In your case, however, the entire font doesn't get embedded because fonts like it (e.g., large asian fonts with a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode) would take up too much space if fully embedded. If it did, a 100KB PDF could bloat to 20MB with that one change. Instead, users are expected to have such fonts installed on their system, which is why you were prompted to install the font pack. This despite the fact that the font was not actually used by anything in your document, it was simply the orphaned reference to it that triggered this. This should get fixed in Acrobat eventually so this type of thing doesn't happen again.

    Hi benlebvb,
    Are you running a 32- or 64-bit OS? Please see this thread: Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 Don't Work
    While that is not a supported configuration (Acrobat 7 on Windows 8), some customers have been able to make it work. The thread I've referenced should give you some good pointers.
    Best,
