PDFs take forever to open in Acrobat X Pro...

How do I get my local pdfs to open faster in Acrobat X Pro?
Acrobat 7 Standard was much faster.

You have both Adobe Reader (which offers one kind of conversion, paid for one way), and Adobe Acrobat Pro (which offers another kind of conversion, paid another way). Be sure you understand that these are two different bits of software, and that you can and must choose which one to use.

Pdf's no longer opening in Acrobat X Pro

In the last two weeks or so, users have reported that where PDFs in libraries used to open in Acrobat Pro client, now the pdfs only open in browser.
We've checked the library and it's still set to Open in client Application.
In Internet options, pdfs are set to open in acrobat pro.
In Acrobat Pro's prefs, Acrobat Pro is set to be the default file handler for PDF.
we need to be able to get people who need to open direct into the client app working again.
anyone know of recent events that could have changed the behavior?

Behavior for PDFs is not handled by SharePoint, but rather Adobe Acrobat. Validate Adobe Acrobat's PDF browser extension has been disabled (you can do this via IE and I believe Adobe Acrobat has this option within it's own Preferences).

PDF initially freezes when opening with Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader

Hi-
Every time I open a pdf, either with Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat Reader, it freezes the application for about 10-15 seconds. Afterwards, it's fine.
Any suggestions?
Im running XP Pro, 3.25GB of RAM

Any chance you are also using Quickbooks? I understand from Intuit that there is a known issue between Quickbooks and Acrobat 9. My computer does the same exact thing and I am running Quickbooks Pro 2009. Windows XP Pro 64-bit. According to the forums on Intuit, the same problem does not exist with Acrobat 8. So, you have to uninstall Acrobat 9 then in stall 8. The problem is that the uninstall does not completely uninstall 9 so you can't install 8 successfully. Apparently Adobe has an uninstaller that will remove ALL of Acrobat 9 but you have toi get it from tech Support - if you can find one that speaks English well enough to understand what the problem is and what you need. Then you need to find a copy of 8 to use.
The problem is not in opening Acrobat. It opens just fine. It doesn't lock up until you open a PDF file.

Firefox runs extremely slow on 64 bit PC it takes forever to open bookmarks are we going to get a 64 bit firefox

Firefox runs extremely slow on 64 bit PC it takes forever to open bookmarks and also hangs when I try to open anything within firefox I have used firefox since it started on 32 bit systems until I installed it on my 64 bit a week ago and have had this problem and others since, are we going to get a 64 bit firefox

Thanks for getting back to me Dave!
The file is about 91 MB in size, with just under 400 scanned pages.
I’ve also encountered the problem when I’ve tried to OCR one of these old books. I’ve had to do it 50-100 pages at a time, closing and re-opening the file each time.
Based on my online search for a solution, I had concluded that the 2 GB limit for 32-bit programs was the most likely source of the problem. But I’m wondering now if Acrobat could use 2 GB in processing a 91 MB file.

Takes forever to open AOL...WHY?

How long does it usually take from taping the icon until you can take photos?
My iPhone 4 takes 5 seconds, since you're using iPhone 4S I would imagine it should take no more 5 seconds.
Having said that, holding the Home and Sleep/Wake button until your iPhone restarts has shown to show improvements in overall performance (since it quits all applications). Users I know have also experiance better performance by updating to the latest version of iOS.

Preview takes forever to open, much slower than on my old MacBook. It has been like this since I bought the computer last January. Why is Lion so much slower?

Preview takes forever to open, much slower than on my old MacBook running Snow Leopard. It has been like this since I bought the computer last January. Any ideas?

Take it to an Apple Store for testing. If you don't get immediate satisfaction, exchange it for another one, which you can do at no cost, no questions asked, within 14 days of delivery.

ITunes takes forever to open!!

When I open iTunes in my Dock, it takes at least five minutes to open. I timed it tonight. This is a fairly recent problem, maybe for the last month or so. I'm wondering if anyone knows if this could be because I have a LOT of iPhone Applications in iTunes now?
I'm also having problems with other apps on my Mac, such as iPhoto running very slow, but only iTunes takes forever to open. iPhoto opens quickly, freezes a lot while using it, and takes several minutes to close, probably due to having over 20,000 photos in it.
So I'm thinking the iTunes problem probably isn't related to the iPhoto problems.
Also, I just did an "Archive and Install" with the Leopard OS at the advice of an Apple store Genius, but it didn't fix or change anything. In fact, the Install took six hours, which I believe is longer than normal.
Does anyone know if a large amount of App store apps in iTunes can affect how long it takes to open?
Or should I be asking this question at the iPhone forum?
Thanks in advance, Deb

Hello back, and thank you both for responding. I had no idea there was two separate iTunes forums. I guess I'll go post to the right one.
I'm the only Mac user in a house of PC users, so my three guys are no help to me. Well, one of them has a Macbook, but he uses his desktop PC the most. Anyway...
I have 50 Gigs left on my hard drive and that's only because I had to do two "Archive and Installs" on my iMac last week. That left me with over 20 gigs in two "Previous System Folders". I'm going to delete them eventually to get that space back, but my problems were happening before when I had almost 75 gigs, and are still happening now. Nothing has changed.
My iTunes has maybe 10 gigs of stuff total, with most of it music, then maybe iPhone applications (probably 2 or 3 gigs), but only one short 45 minute video, and a couple of podcasts. Nothing else. I'm a middle aged mom, so I'm not much into iTunes except for my iPhone stuff.
So, I'm confused by iTunes reluctance to open, but will go post on the Mac iTunes forum.
Thanks for taking the time to respond to me!
Greatly appreciated... Deb

My I Mac is very slow or not responding. Mail takes forever to open and pinwheel continues for along time

My I Mac, using 10.8.4 is very slow, mail takes forever to open and the spinning pinwheel starts every time I try to use mail. any suggestions?

What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
How full is your Apple Mail?
How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of "crapware" like so called hard drive "cleaning" apps?

Any one else have this issue?

The stock message app. To be honest my entire phone seems slow.. and it says there is no updates available.. I've updated all of the apps that have available updates and I've even deleted my saved messages... Just not sure why all of a sudden it is running slow.

If this does not resolve the problem you have a hardware problem.

My folders take forever to open and then the docs within take a long time for the icon to pop up. the same thing with moving itmes from the desktop to a folder, and also emptying the trashh

Don't know if that would be a failing hard drive, but it may be that you are out of available space. How much hard drive space do you have available? Please highlight the Macintosh HD icon and then press Command and I for a get info window. Once open, please copy and post the following:
Capacity:

Available:
Mac OS requires a minimum of 10 - 15% of total hard drive space available and empty at all times in order to operate properly.

Hi Jenny, I just had to do that, for the 3rd time. It is a pity though when one pays for such expensive software that this happens, specifically when the only Adobe help is to tell you to post your problem on a forum and hope someone can help you. Not good enough and not what I expected when I bought it. I am so disappointed in Adobe.

Saved PDFs remain 'open' until Acrobat X Pro exits.

Any number of PDF files created or edited by Acrobat X Pro then saved and closed (Ctrl+F4) nevertheless remain 'open' -- ALL of them. None can be moved, renamed or deleted by Windows Explorer or accessed by other Windows applications (e.g. Quicken).
Only completely exiting the Acrobat application actually 'closes' these files.
Acrobat X Pro did NOT exhibit this behavior until some weeks ago, so some minor update of Acrobat or Windows would seem a likely cause.
This is Acrobat X Pro 10.1.6 running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1.
Please advise.

There have been posts about the problem for quite some time. It has not been repaired. There is apparently an issue with Acrobat releasing the file in Windows OS. I think this problem may be OS dependent. As far as I know it is not an issue on the MAC.
