Adobe Reader 8 open pdf very slow and used lots of memory

I use the Adobe Reader 8 to open a pdf(the pdf size not bigger than 100k)
but when i open it, it take long time to load it and use so many memory,
also, i do not have this problem on using adobe reader 7, would any one know the reason?
Thx for everyone.

Alright, i know, you can't bare to part with it, you need it, etc.etc...
try here, its an adobe reader speed up program

It's a bit old though.
Also, do you have the stupid adobe startup program for reader running? This speeds up the loading of adobe reader while simultaneously slowing down your whole system. Great tradeoff.
Get foxit!
Adobe sucks!

I have a PDF form (50 Pages) to fill out. I'm trying to use Adobe Reader, it is very slow having to tag Fill & Sign on each line. How can I accomplish this task quicker?

What is the best tool to fill out a PDF form, (50 pages). I have Adobe Reader, & Acrobat XI Pro; at least I think I do, Acrobat XI Pro may need to be installed.

Is it a fillable form? That is one where you can just type into it because it was prepared that way? If not, it is absolutely unreasonable to expect it to be filled on screen. Print it and write on it.

Bridge is more of processor dependant function than RAM dependant.

How to use Adobe Reader, open pdfs with OS X 10.6.7?

I just got a new MacBook Pro. When I try to download Adobe Reacer or open PDFs, I get messages that say this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I use PDFs all the time. How do I get around this?

I am not being allowed to downoad/install Adobe Reader or open PDFs. When I try to do either one, I get a message that this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I just talked to Apple Care. They told me how to open PDFs with another application andd referred me to Adobe for installation questions. Thanks.

Adobe Reader 10.2 very slow

Hi Everybody,
I just bought my Blackberry Playbook last weekend. I want to use it principally for my work. I have download the last version OS and I get adobe reader 10.2 with it.
I transfer some "PDF" files from my computer to the Playbook to make some presentation to my customers. My problem is that is running very slow.... A soon I turn a page it froze for few seconds...
Is this normal? Or the version is bad... I really don't know what to think...
I did get this tablet because of the good price and because I have a BB Bold... But I can't present PDF file to customers if it froze every 2 seconds...
Please help!!!
Thank you

I have the same problem. BlackBerry and Adobe listen up.
1. Do you have the latest version of Adobe? GOOD QUESTION. I HAVE THE LATEST ADOBE READER UPDATE WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE COME WITH THE LATEST PLAYBOOK SOFTWARE. DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GUYS ARE GETTING VER 10.2 BECAUSE THE VERSION LOADED WITH NO UPDATES AVAILABLE, IS 10.0.3.325
2. Do you have a lot of Applications installed on your PlayBook? NO. IT'S RELATIVELY NEW. IT'S ONLY THE ADOBE TRYING TO READ A 2.2MB 9-PAGE HI-RES FILE.
3. How much memory do you have left on your PlayBook? I imagine that Adobe may use a lot of memory and you may not have enough memory to support everything. WITH NO APPS OPEN, IT SAYS 541MB OF 1GB FREE MEMORY. WITH ADOBE OPEN, 518MB FREE. WITH ADOBE AND 2.2MB DOC OPEN, IT SAYS 481MB FREE. CRAZY THAT OPENING A 2.2MB PDF TAKES 37MB OF RAM OVER AND ABOVE THE BASIC PROGRAM!
4. IT LOADS FINE. BUT SWIPING FROM PAGE TO PAGE I GET EXACTLY WHAT THE ORIGINAL POSTER IS EXPLAINING. IF A WAIT 10 SECONDS BETWEEN EACH PAGE TURN, IT'S BETTER BUT NOT PERFECT. WORST CASE, I SWIPE TO TURN THE PAGE, SOME PAGES WILL RESPOND, OTHERS WILL WAIT 5-10 SECONDS, THEN CHANGE THE PAGE NUMBER THEN ACTUALLY BRING UP THE NEW PAGE. IF I SWIPE TWICE THINKING I DIDN'T SWIPE "WELL ENOUGH" ON THE FIRST TRY, I CAN WAIT 10-15 SECONDS FOR IT TO SKIP THE NEXT PAGE AND BRING ME TO THE ONE AFTER THAT. SOMETIMES, I SWIPE AND NOTHING HAPPENS SO I WAIT FOR THE TYPICAL 10-SEC RESPONSE - BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. THE SWIPE GOT LOST ENTIRELY.
5. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ADOBE PERFORMANCE ON THE PLAYBOOK. PITIFUL. NOT SMOOTH. NOT SLEEK. LESS THAN FUNCTIONAL. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE TIES TO THE PLAYBOOK ENGINEERS, TALK TO THEM ABOUT THIS ONE. I'M SURE ANY HIGH RES PDF WILL DO FOR A TEST COMPARISON. MINE IS 2.2 MB AND 9 PAGES. ALL PAGES HAVE GRAPHICS AND TEXT. SOME PHOTOS, GRAPHICS AND TEXT. IF NECESSARY, I WILL EMAIL THE FILE TO A BLACKBERRY OR ADOBE STAFF MEMBER.
6. THIS BEHAVIOUR IS NOT OCCURRING WITH PHOTOS OR VIDEOS OR ANYTHING ELSE. IT'S DEFINITELY SUB-STANDARD PERFORMANCE FROM THE ADOBE READER INSTALLED ON PLAYBOOK 2.0.1.358.
7. !@#$ Even worse, I try to email this to the "support" address given on the Adobe Reader app's page, and it bounces - "no such user". Seriously, if anyone here knows anyone there, give them **bleep**. In a nice way of course.

How to stop Adobe Reader opening pdf's in Safari

I've checked all the forums for this problem and have tried all the solutions, however none work for me.
I've deleted Adobe Reader and used a program call CleanMyMac to get rid of all files, so no plug-in's, nothing left of Adobe Reader. Yet, I cannot open pdf's in Safari as it still wants to use Adobe Reader.
I've right clicked other pdf's in my documents and have checked that they are opening with my default program, which is Evernote. The option to 'change all' is greyed out.
What else can I do, other than stop using Safari?

Adobe Reader installed? If so remove Reader.
Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
Look for these two files.
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Right click those and select “Move To Trash”.
Remove CleanMyMac

Adobe reader opening pdf within O365 Sharepoint

Here is my issue. We used to have SBS sharepoint and migrated to O365, since then here is the issue.
When we go to our sharepoint site alias.sharepoint.com we cna login and within the browser we can open Adobe files file with reader.
If we go to Library>Open with Explorer this is where issue are. Sometime it will open the pdf and other times it won't.
We have reset IE, reinstalled Adobe reader, etc...
I recently installed Foxit reader and all is fixed and working for time being, BUT my client wants to use Adobe so I was wondering does Adobe FULLY support opening pdf files in the Sharepoint>Explorer view or do i need an update we are on v11 and fully updated with all the publically released updates.

I have an update. I called Adobe to get this confirmed.
If you have Office 365, Sharepoint 2013 running on O365 then I am told Adobe Reader 11 is not compatible when opening a Sharepoint in this way. (Library>Open In Explorer) they didn't say but I assume and hope Adobe Reader 12 would fix.
Here is the workaround, installed FoxIt pdf reader and it will open the files fine for viewing.

Adobe Reader crashes when fast scrolling and using IAccessible interface

Acrobat Reader 8, 9 crashes on Vista, XP, 2003 server by following steps:
1. Open two huge documents (>1000 pages).
2. Get IAccessible object by AccessibleObjectFromWindow function from external application.
3. Fast scroll in one document and quickly click on second doc's vertical slider bar several times.
Here I get APPCRASH ("Acrobat Reader has stopped working").
If external program doesn't get IAccessible, Acrobat Reader works normally.
If I close external program after getting IAccessible Acrobat crashes after scrolling too.
Reading mode option is set to "Read the currently visible pages only" in "Accessibility Reader Options".
any ideas?

Known bug. Use the Advanced Search instead.

Saved an email yesterday in Adobe Reader, now where is it and how do I open that PDF?

saved an PDF email in Adobe Reader, now where is it and do I open it? It has job application that need to orient out?

x11 needs to be installed from the OS X install cd that shipped with your mbp (its burried in one of the folders, don't remember which off hand - sorry).
as for removing developer tools... personally, i wouldn't. if you ever plan on installing stuff from source via fink or darwinports or want to install apache/php for some reason, you'll need the developer tools. they do come in very hand, but if you are so incline to remove them, open up a terminal window (/Applications/Utilities) and issue the command
sudo /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl
that should prompt you for your password. Just walk through it and it'll clear them out.
If you really want to use open office on os x, i'd highly suggest neooffice

You don't provide any details, but from the sound of it you are trying to open an online PDF in a browser that does not use the Adobe Reader plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

This regards Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.07 running on Win 7. Copying text in a text callout (to paste into a text callout in another pdf document (3 instances of Adobe open) sometimes (only sometimes) causes the program to crash

This regards Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.07 running on Win 7. Copying text in a text callout (to paste into a text callout in another pdf document (3 instances of Adobe open) sometimes (only sometimes) causes the program to crash, losing unsaved work. Windows Task Manager shows only a small percentage of cpu used and plenty of memory available. What is causing this?

This usually occurs if you use a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

Can I hide the Adobe Reader panel with "Export, Create and Edit PDF and Send and Store Files"? I don't use it and it takes up space

If you just mean, can I close it, sure. In Reader XI click the Tools button to close or reopen it.
