Why does it take 2 or 3 minutes to access a url from a hyperlink in a pdf document?

With either Adobe Reader locally or the plug-in on a website, it takes a huge amount of time for a url called by a hyperlink in a pdf document to appear in a browser window. Can anyone explain why this happens and, hopefully, how to fix it?

Yes, sorry about that. I am using Win XP Pro and Adobe Reader 11.0.08 and plug-in 11.0.07.79. The browser is Firefox 35.0.01. The problem goes away if I disable the Adobe plug-in and use the native Firefox pdf handler. The same problem also occurs in Safari for Windows.
During the delay between clicking the hyperlink and the target url's being displayed, the "not responding" error appears for the browser in question.
This happens on both my desktop machine and my portable (also running WinXP; the Adobe plug-in is 11.0.8.4)

    Why does it take so long to back up whilst im updating from 4.3.5 to 5.0?
    its been on for ages and its not even a quarter of the way backed up!

    The Brave New World of AC wireless networking.. where the reality falls far short of the hype.
    Unfortunately in an actual transfer situation, the signal to noise of wireless (RSSI figure drops dramatically), It simply uses AC as a link speed but speed is always renegotiated during an actual file transfer.. to some sustainable level. I suspect that level is not AC wireless but N.
    It does matter if you run older devices.. nothing with a or b or g wireless should be running in your house. Even n wireless may cause issues.. try turning everything else off and see if you get speed lift.
    As far as the time required for a clean up, is this a first backup as they always take a significantly longer time. Once you are doing regular incrementals the time is usually very short.

  • Why does it take 10 or more minutes for i tunes to "determine tracks to sync" when i haven't added or deleted songs?

    why does it take i tunes more than 10 minutes to "determine tracks to syn" when i haven't added or deleted songs? all i have done is change the name of a playlist.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Why does it take two or three minutes for my screens to load?

    Starting a couple of weeks ago when I click on a new link it can take two or three minutes to load the page. It will eventually load the page but the lag is ridiculous. I also noticed that as soon as I close the page that isn't opening I do see that page for a second or two before it reverts back to the original page, and when I click on the same link again, it takes me there immediately.

  • Why does it take 4 or 5 minutes for new mail to show up after I open Thunderbird?

    When I initially open my Thunderbird mail program, no new mail appears until the program has been open for 4 or 5 minutes. My computer at work shows new email almost immediately after opening the program. I wish I could figure out what the difference is. I formerly used Outlook Express (with XP) before I got this new computer with Windows 7. Same computer and os at work. I would appreciate any help you could give me with this issue.
    Thanks!

    Different anti virus at work? Different Thunderbird versions?
    My money is on A/V

  • Why does it take so long to download movies and tv shows from itunes

    I can download songs pretty quickly from itunes, but movies and tv shows take anywhere from 12-24 hours.  Is there anything I can do to speed this up?

    If you are downloading at work more than likely your bandwith is being throttled by your company.  If your using a Mac, download a little utility called "MenuMeter" It runs in the menu bar and will display your connection speed.If your on a windows machine similar utilities are available as well. Once you find out what your speed is.it'll be much easier to trouble shoot!

  • Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

    Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Netflix movies are adaptive and vary their quality according to your connection and can be as low as 0.5 Mbps.
    But remember lower datarates = lower quality.

  • Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

    Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

    There could be several reasons. It may be that Acrobat spent that time trying and ran into too many bottlenecks. As a test you might print the PDF to a new PDF and try the conversion on the new PDF. It might be there is a problem with the original PDF that the print process would fix..

    It's likely network related, have you checked your internet download speed (speedtest.net) or tried anything to eliminate interference on you local network.

  • Why does it take so long to recognize my camera?

    I have a Canon EOS Rebel XS.  When I plug it in, iPhoto jumps up and is in front on the screen, as it should, but then it takes 8 or 10 minutes for it to be identified and booted up into the sidebar. I just watch the wheels turn and the red light flicker, but it takes EIGHT or MORE minutes to be recognized!! And, sometimes the camera times itself out. Here is my question . . . WHY WHY WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO BE RECOGNIZED?!?!?!!? I could deal with 30 seconds, but this is just ridiculous. Is this a Canon issue? A driver issue? Heaven forbid, an Apple issue?  Does anybody have any insight on this or the same kind of experience?
    Mike

    Next time you import reformat the card with the Camera - remember this will erase the card, so make sure you've emptied it first. Oh, and the use of block capitals is very impressive. Doesn't make it look like a tantrum at all.

  • Why does it take 3 hours to download a movie

    Why does it take 3 hours to download a movie on apple tv?  Is there a solution??

    What kind of internet connection speed do you have?
    If you have 3Mbps DSL like I do, and are renting movies on either Apple TV model in HD Format, then it will take quite a while. Actually 3 Hours for an HD Movie would be failry fast here at my home. They are just large files. If I'm going to rent an HD movie, I will usually rent it earlier in the day and watch it when I'm ready.
    If you have an adequate internet connection, and just want to rent movies on the fly and don't care about HD, on the AppleTV v2 you can go to Settings / General / iTunes Store / Video Resolution... and select Standard Definition. With our 3Mbps DSL connection, when we rent a movie it is generally "Ready to Play..." within about 2 minutes at the most (enough time to grab a beer and get comfortable)
    As far as I know, Standard Definition movies still show on the same menu as the HD version with the ATV v1. I preferred that menu format myself because you didn't have to change the option in settings when you wanted to go back and forth.

  • Why does it take 12 hours to process a 2 hr. in imovie 11

    Why does it take 12 hours to process a 2 hr movie to quick time?

    iMovie is designed to create simple home movies, not theatrical-length features.
    iMovie does all rendering in a single pass when you share the movie, so the longer the movie and the more complex the effects used, it can overwhelm the memory in your computer. I would normally say keep your movies to 30 minutes or less, but there is always an exception to the rule. Some people are able to get more.
    If you are able to complete a 2 hour movie in 12 hours, you must have a pretty powerful Mac. Many Macs would crash long before then.
    Final Cut Pro X is the tool for theatrical length movies. Final Cut Pro X allows rendering to occur in smaller chunks, so it doesn't have to happen all at the end. When you share the final movie, you are patching together many segments that have already been rendered.
    However, as I learn FCP, I have discovered that most pros do not edit a 2 hour movie on a single timeline. They create it in logical scenes, and then only put them all together at the end. They do this for performance reasons, and so in case something goes wrong, the problem is isolated. When they get ready to create their final 2 hour movie, they drag completely rendered scenes to a clean timeline and output the final movie.
