hi friends,
Do u get irritated when acrobat reader takes 5/10 seconds to load when you want to open a pdf document. There is a way to speed up the loading. 1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader (C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever) 2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste). Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files). Now your acrobat reader will load very fast and almost as good as notepad.. Happy Reading, Cheers. |

Won't doing this make all the plug-ins fail to work? Some of the file names look quite important.

WOW!!!
This is a great tip. I just did it last night and it works. Now I am wondering if I will eventually miss any functionality of Acrobat Reader. Can anyone say what these plugins are for? And if it is possible to activate them from inside the interface, (I mean without moving the files back into their original folder,) just in case I need one of them? Thanks a lot Joe |
