Why is my search 1000% slower after re-saving a PDF? (Acrobat 9 Pro Extended)

I purchased and downloaded the PDF version of "Javascript: the Definitive Guide" (Flanagan, David, O'Reilly Press, 5th Ed., 2006).
When I first started using the PDF, searches would yield results instantaneously. After making some notations and highlighting some text, I saved the PDF.
Now searches are ridiculously slow.
Luckily, I had a backup copy of the PDF in another folder. I re-opened the original and tried my save again: voila! Same instananeous results.
I thought maybe there had been an embedded index in the PDF, and that re-saving the PDF somehow corrupted or removed it. However, in the original version of the PDF, I can't find anything that indicates why searching is so much faster.
Any ideas?

Also, look at your Search preferences. For example, try Ctrl + K > Search > Fast Find

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Try this.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

The iPad 2 is not as powerful as more modern iPads.
Backround updates (iCloud, App Downloads and updates - it can take a while after iPad was updated for these to stop.) , will slow things alot. The screen effects can be turned off, speed up things.
Here are two links with tips on speeding things up

No. You just can't use Acrobat on your computer anymore (unless you buy it,
of course).

Why is my safari running slow after updating my mac?

My safari is running slow after completing a software update. I have cleared the cache. It did not help.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Why is my iPad so slow after ios7 upgrade?

why is my ipad running so slow after the ios7 upgrade?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Why is Indesign CC running slow after opening CS4 doc?

Hi all,
I have a problem with InDesign CC.
After I opened an CS4 document in CC the program is starting to run very slow.
Even creating an empty new document is a problem.
The CS4 document is a newspaper with a lot of links in it with a filesize of around 65mb.
Any one familiar with this problem and know a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Did you already save it as CC version and after re-opening still slow?
If not slow after saving, consider it as an effect from conversion to CC.

Disappearing PDF file after saving work in Acrobat Pro 9?

I use Acrobat Pro 9 to do markups. Some of the files may be as large as 2,000 pages. At various points, I save my work. Sometimes, however, I save my work, close the program. I come back later and discover that the PDF file that I working seems to have vanished. It's not in Recyle Bin and searching for it, does not bring it up. There isn't even an icon. When this happens, all that remains are aabxxx 's in Recent Places. Sometimes if I am lucky, I can somehow generate another PDF file. Sometimes not.
I know that it is possible I could strike the wrong key and not save my work. But this has happened often where that something else be the reason.. I have looked for solutions to this problem in the past and have not been able to find any. I currently am using Windows 7 with IE9
Any ideas? Thanks.

Thank you for your help and suggestions. I put in the browser info, but I wasn't sure if that would be helpful. I have a lot of problems with IE9 and using Microsoft Word and Excel.. MS Office 2010 is 64-bit. The version of Windows 7 I have is 64-bit. What happened is that I began working for this one publisher, AA9 was the version in use and that was I was instructed to use It was also just before the release of AAX.
Do you think that the 32-bit/64-bit difference is what could be causing the issue?
I put off going to a new version because of the cost and the fact that I wouldn't have time to learn the current version. I have a lot of projects right now and scheduling is tight.

I've a Creative Cloud account, why do I have to pay for Online Services subscription for Acrobat Pro XI ?

I have a Creative Cloud account, so I have the desktop applications... why do I need to pay more to have Acrobat Pro access for my iOS devices (cloud access for Acrobat Pro) ?

Hi MacEarl,
You might need to know that subscriptions for Creative Cloud and Adobe online services are different.
What exactly is the trouble that is causing you and what do you wish?
Please let us know.

Why is my mac running slow after MOuntain Lion update??

after i updated my Mac Book it starts to browse very slow..why????

It doesn't sound like it, but you might try adding a different DNS server.
In Network System prefs, select the network service you use (ethernet or WiFi).
Click on Advanced.
Click on DNS tab.
Click the + button
Enter these numbers:
For OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Or Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Unless you've added RAM since you bought the computer, you could probably increase the performance by adding RAM. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.
