Issues with Adobe Acrobat Reader

Does it drive you crazy when Adobe Acrobat Reader loads all those heavy plugins? It pulls them in even when half of them are totally useless.
The fix is an Adobe Acrobat Reader speed-up.
Grab it from http://www.tnk-bootblock.co.uk/prods/misc/index.php , run it, select what you don't need, and Adobe Acrobat will run much faster.
Let me know if this helps.

And here's this one 🤔 🙂

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before😁

Mr. X😁

Just wanted to jump back in and refresh this thread🙄>

I’m running into a massive headache whenever I try to open PDF documents that have special characters like accented vowels in the filename.
Every single time I attempt to launch them, Adobe Reader throws an error in my face, forcing me to manually rename every damn file just to get it to work.

What settings on earth do I need to tweak to stop this from happening?😕

I am having a massive headache here. I’ve been running Adobe Reader 7.0 on my Windows Vista machine, and honestly, it works just fine for reading files, but the second I try to open anything online, the whole thing just freezes up on me. So, I figured I'd just upgrade and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1, but now the installation is being a total nightmare. It keeps throwing errors at me during the setup—something about Internet Explorer (process ID: 1276)—and then it claims File Explorer (process ID: 1900) is blocking it because some program is supposedly using it. To make matters worse, I'm running on a prepaid mobile hotspot right now, which isn't helping things move along. How on earth am I supposed to get this damn 9.1 version to actually install??? HELP!!!!!

You might want to give Foxit Software a shot. It’s just as capable as Adobe, yet it doesn't hog nearly as many system resources on your PC.

Thanks Thomas Fisher! I didn't even realize until way later that I had to scrub version 7.0 off my system first since it was left over from an old PC. Once I finally nuked that one, Adobe Reader 9.1 installed just fine (though getting it from those sketchy Adobe direct pages is always a bit of a headache).

Does anyone happen to know if there's a way to resume reading on the exact page I was looking at when I reload the file? Thanks!

U Adobe Reader 9. Still around, I guess. Some people cling to old software like it's a lifeline, even when it's clearly showing its age. If you're still running this on a modern machine, good luck with the stability.Hit Edit-Preferences (or just hit Ctrl+K), then go to Categories: Documents. Open Settings, check the box for "Restore last view settings when reopening documents," hit OK, and then restart the application. 😉

Hey everyone. I figured I’d post this here instead of cluttering up the main thread... So, I recently set up Windows XP on my machine and installed Adobe Reader. Everything seemed fine until I went to launch it—I had to click through the license agreement, right? Well, the very second I hit accept, Avira starts screaming at me that I've got a virus (specifically a Trojan). Honestly, my PC was acting so incredibly glitchy after that that I just had to crash Windows and start the whole setup process from scratch. Now, I'm back at square one and the exact same thing is happening again... I'm honestly terrified to even click "accept" because I don't want to deal with that nightmare all over again. What should I do? Has anyone else dealt with this weirdness? Or maybe there's a different program out there for handling PDF files? Every time I try to hit "decline," my computer just crawls and things start getting super weird, though it eventually settles down...

If you grabbed Adobe Acrobat Reader straight from the official site, there’s zero chance you picked up some virus—you probably pulled it from some sketchy third-party site instead... or maybe WebGuard by Avira is just acting up. Try adding www.adobe.com to your exception list.

Adobe Acrobat is the absolute gold standard. It’s lightweight and incredibly fast. I love how you can highlight text just like you're using a physical highlighter on actual paper. Plus, being able to fill out forms and save them directly is such a lifesaver. Seriously awesome!!!👍
