How to speed up PDF loading with Adobe Acrobat

[blackleopard92]

Another trick I found out which u all might love.

Adobe takes about 20 -30 seconds to load, so I searched the net and found the soln and I highly recommend it to everyone, everywhere - it?s that good.

Every time you run Adobe Acrobat up to 20 plugins are loaded unnecessarily - most users do not need even a fraction of them!

To disable unneeded plugins and make them optional instead, follow these instructions:

1. Install the latest version of Adobe Acrobat - you can get it here
2. Browse to the plugins folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat
7.0\Reader\plug_ins
3. Create a new folder named Optional
4. Move all files from the plug_ins folder to Optional, except EWH32.api, print*.api, and Search*.api

That?s it! Load any PDF in Adobe Acrobat to see the difference!

something more.In case u feel the need of specific plugins, just copy them back, so they would load.

I would advise members to first read up on the different plugins before disabling them, since everybody's needs are different and some people might have great need for a plugin which is useless for someone else.

the warning has been given

however, for many people, loads of them aren't of any use.
