Content Preparation Progress (Not Responding)

Is there a way to stop the "Content Preparation Progress" process from happening? If I cancel out of it quickly, I can open my documents- but 7 times out of ten, if I don't Acrobat hangs up on me and I get a "Not Responding" error.
What is this process doing, and why? Is it necessary?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

And I agree, this is a very annoying feature which should not be enabled by default.
Well, the legal obligations associated with the Americans with Disability Act and Section 508 (for the USA) may have something to do with the default setup for Acrobat Reader/Acrobat.
These legal obligations are rather "mild" compared to what exists in many other nations.
Some 20% (1 in 5) of Americans have some kind of disability (visual, hearing, motor, or cognitive).
"Looking" at visual impairment alone –
CDC data identifies that a significant number of Americans have vision impairment.
One million individuals 40 years of age or older are blind.
(best corrected visual acuity of 20/200 or worse or a visual field of less than 20 degrees)
2.4 million are visually impaired (best corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or worse).
The number of adults with vision impairment likely will double over the next 30 years.
One of those individuals may very well be "you" (the reader of this post).
Having a Preference setting that lets one "toggle off" Accessibility support might be nice.
However, what is often overlooked is that "Accessibility" is only one of several facilities provided by Tagged PDF.
Reflow for mobile devices and export of PDF page content with format/layout/font attributes are also facilities of Tagged PDF.
So, "isolating" the accessibility facility may not be a "simple" thing.
With that said, anyone can propose a feature request here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
What helps is becoming familiar with the OS features for accessibility and what, if any, installed applications use "accessibilty" functionality.
(i.e., Dragon Speak). Know how to enable/disable these. Less issues with Adobe Reader/Acrobat are the "reward".
Be well...

  • "Content Preparation Progress"

    Since installing Adobe Acrobat X Pro on my new PC, I keep getting a progress bar window that opens with the text "Content Preparation Progress" It takes some time to finish and it quite often crashes. Can I turn this off? I never got the message before and it's a nuisance.

    Hey,
    You might need to change the preferences under Edit> Preferences> Reading
    Then, under "Screen Reader Options" select "Only read the currently visible pages" and click OK.
    Now, exit and open the PDF.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • What´s QTKitServer- (254). Web content for Safari (not responding)

    Help Please!! Hi, my name is German, and I have a MBA 13 mid 2013. I have a doubt in according to activity monitor. Becasue there is an item in activity monitor (CPU)  that is says: QTKitServer - 254. Web content for Safari (not responding) in red colour.
    Do you know what is that?
    Thank you very much,
    Germán.

    Hi,
    I've also seen this Not responding QTKitServer-(xxxxx) process and i've suspected Safari Extension issue.
    So i deactivated all the extensions, then reactivated one by one and i saw that the issue was ClickToPlugin (ClickToFlash also). It's occured while ClickToFlash block a Flash Advertising.
    So, for now the only way is to deactivate ClickToFlash and to wait for an update from the developper.

  • Win7 + readerX(10.1.0) printing error: progress (not responding)

    a PC (with WIN7 64 bits) got Adobe reader X(10.1.0) installed, I downloaded from your site, the user is experiencing multiple problem, such as:
    1. printing: got a popup window saying "progress (not responding)" while he got the paper printed, but the windows won't go away until I manually stop the process in task manager;
    2.PDF attachment: another user can’t open a PDF attachment, and we figured out that’s because there are more than 7 .exe processes stuck in task manager, maybe because we tried to open the attachment too many times? But why the very 1st time the file was not opened?
    I tried to print the same file under my credential, didn’t get the popup, is it permission issue? Do I need to grant end users full control to reader folder?
    Other Adobe programs installed on these PCs are: flash player & shockwave player.
    one more thing, they user copitrak, is there anything to do with that?
    Thx.

    Hi,
    Could you please let me know if you have any version of Adobe Reader already installed on your system?
    You can check the same via the Add/Remove Programs menu in the Control Panel.

  • Emails without content, "IMAP server not responding", missing password etc.

    I'm having heavy issues with the email app on my iP4.
    It started yesterday when it showed up my inbox like this:
    http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6087/img0001zk.png
    I rebooted without success.
    All of a sudden it worked again when I checked about half an hour later.
    Today in the noon the same error, but it stays the same for hours now.
    I rebooted, switched off and on without success.
    I deleted the IMAP account, rebooted, started to create the same account. Then I am asked if I want to configure the acc. without SSL (which is not needed), I say No and save the acc.
    When I want to check my emails it says that there is no password configured, so I go into settings, set it up again (and I am sure that I set it right at first setup), check email again and get the message that the IMAP server of the acc. does not respond.
    This is driving me nuts. I had this issue 2 or 3 weeks ago already and restored from a backup, after that it worked ok. Last week I installed everything from scratch, it took me 2 days to reconfigure my phone for my needs.
    Maybe someone has an idea before I send my phone in...
    PS: This applies to several email providers. On my wife's 3GS everything works fine.

    Hello,
    I have been the same issue on my iPhone 4 since last saturday (01:34 A.M, Paris time).
    My iPhone cannot sync anymore with my gmail account using IMAP protocol ! It has been working fine on different generations et now, it just won't !
    All my other accounts work just fine and it's not related to some kind of wireless operator limitation.
    I have googled this and found out that people are having the same issue. I tried everything but nothing solves it !
    Any bugs causing this ?
    Thanks for your feedbacks !

  • Acrobat 11, IE 9, Content Preparation

    Using Acrobat 11, Internet Explorer 9, on windows 7 64 bit. When opening a PDF on a web page within Explorer get a constant "Content Preparation Progress" dialogue box. Doesn't seem to be the standard check box in Acrobat to view PDF files in browser to uncheck.
    Any ideas?

    Content preparation is generally about preparing the accessibility part of the PDF (check the accessibility preferences for possible changes on that). As far as viewing in the browser, check http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html.

  • Adobe pdf printer save dialog box opens in the background - progress bar shows Not Responding

    I have two users who have Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.4 that are experiencing the same things.  First, one person just changed laptops and the new one has a fresh Windows 7 Enterprise X64 image and new installation of Adobe Acrobat X Pro.  When he used the pdf printer for the first time(after opening the program and accepting the license agreement) he was in MS Excel '07 and chose file>print>Adobe PDF and then the progress bar came up and then showed not responding.  After he did this a couple of times with me standing there I noticed that the save dialog box was opening in the background because I could see the icon blinking on the taskbar.  He said that his old computer never did this and that it would always open up and ask where to save the file and never show 'not responding' on the progress bar.  The other person having the same issue is running the same version but she has had the program installed on her machine for a few months and an older version on before that. 
    Is there a way to make the dialog box show as soon as you print to the Adobe PDF printer?  What is causing this?  Is there another way to create a pdf from MS Office like the add-on?

  • Illustrator "not responding" instead of a progress bar?

    How come there is no progress bar when I open an Illustrator file?
    When I open a file (while loading) Illustrator just show "Not Responding" in the top of the program.
    In a windows environment this is quite annoying as it normally means the program hangs and need to be restarted.
    This is not the case. As soon as Illustrator has processed the file it opens fine.
    Instead a progress bar would be expected / prefered !
    Windows 7 Professional (64 bit)
    Adobe Illustrator CC 17.1.0 (64 bit)

    Hi Jacob and thank you for contributing.
    Sorry but I don't think we can blame Windows for this one.
    I got plenty of resources and have tested with Illustrator as only application running - as well as having other software to load simultaneously large files without any problem.
    My guess is that Illustrator don't interchange with windows on the given filesize and the time it takes to load in Illustrator?

  • My ipad is not responding, i accdentaily touch delete all contents and setting

    my ipad is not responding , i accdentaily touch delete all contents and setting ,and now it shows a blanck sreen, with the itune icone and uv cord

    Assuming that you installed iTunes on your computer, you have to connect your iPad to your computer with the cable - plug the pin connector end into the iPad and the USB connector to a USB port on your computer. iTunes should start up on its own. If it doesn't start up, launch it yourself.
    Then follow the directions in this support article.

    Hello, Oliver Chu.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the performance of Safari.  I would start with clearing Safari History and Website Data.  If the issue persists, you may need to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the second article.  
    Reset Safari
    Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Cheers, 
    Jason H.
