Acrobat XI Very Sluggish After Update Ver. 11.0.09

Question

After ver. 11.0.09 updated my Acrobat Pro XI, the program operates very sluggishly.  In a multi-page PDF, there is a several seconds lag when scrolling through pages. And as one page changes to the next, there is always a "ghost" remnant of the page bottom before the next page appears. Also, when I have the thumbnails viewer open on the left and highlight a new page, there is a longish delay of several seconds before the full view of the page opens up. And sometimes when opening Acrobat XI, the entire viewing area is just white (although some of the menu bars is visible) for several seconds before the program interface fills out.  All in all, with the update to ver. 11.0.09, my Acrobat XI has become a lot slower and downright slow.  None of this existed before the update 11.0.09. (I actually uninstalled the Acrobat XI program and reinstalled to see if the program's function would improve, but no such luck.)  Is there any way to fix the slowness of the program or restore it to its efficient operation level before ver. 11.0.09?

Answer 1

So, just for everyone's FYI:  if you weren't having problems with Acrobat Pro XI before the 11.0.09 update and you are now having issues because of 11.0.09, like I was with totally sluggish and non-responsive commands and performance, you might want to do what I did. I completely uninstalled Acrobat XI, ran the Adobe Acrobat clean up tool, then re-installed Acrobat XI and updated it manually starting with 11.0.01, then 11.0.02, then 11.0.03, skipped 11.0.04 (issues it created), skipped 11.0.05 (won't install without .04), then installed 11.0.06, 11.0.07, and 11.0.08. Did not bother with 11.0.09.  What is important to remember, I think, is that just because Adobe puts out an Update does not mean you need to install the Update, especially if you are not having any usage issues or performance problems.  So, I am back to Acrobat XI, ver. 11.0.08 and totally satisfied with the efficient and great performance that I am getting out of the program.
