Why is Adobe Reader so slow and annoying?

Try Foxit Reader, it's free and loads much faster the adobe reader.

There are a few windows tweaks to improve the performance, but make sure the problem is with ALL downloads before you start messing with the registry. \nTry a site like download.com and check the speed there.\nMany sites have crappy internet connections or otherwise limit the speed they upload files to the internet.

Sometimes due to no fault of your own, upgrades and downloads just don't work.  I had a similar problem a few months ago with Adobe.  I went to my add/remove progams in the contol panel and deleted the Adobe Reader.  I went back to their web site and downloaded the latest and greatest.  No problems at all. Just make sure you uncheck the toolbar option and the photoshop starter edition (unless you really, REALLY want them.)\n\nhttp://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html\n\nplrr

What browser do you use? It might help to disable PDF links in your settings so that in future you're prompted to download PDF files rather than open them from their URL.\n\nMe? Well, I like PDF. Just make sure you get the Web working the way that you want though. A good way to start is with Firefox.

Adobe Reader can only read pdf files, Acrobat is a pdf editor, you can make your own pdf files

Firefox\n9.5/10\nEverything about it is great except for the few remaining pages that refuse to work properly, forcing me to *groan* open them in IE.

Yes. Foxit. It's way faster then adobe, and it's also free.

one other good application is Solid Converter PDF.\n\nAnd editing PDF files is easy but you need Acrobat Pro or Acrobat 3D - Acrobat Reader is simply that, for viewing not editing

I too had such a problem. I tried to delete a folder containing just pdf files, but wasn't able to delete even after exiting adobe reader. My case was, I was running google desktop (indexing software) running in background, which was accessing that folder, so as to not allow me to delele it. If you have such softwares running in background, it may be a reason for your case. Try exiting it and then delete the folder. Whatever be the case restarting the system must solve the problem.

Get used to that. I used Limewire a while ago, and it slowed everything on my computer down.

If you want a free utility, do a search for "Cute PDF".  It's simple, free and easy to use.  Highly recommended.  Just don't tell Adobe!!!!

Remove your CDROM and check ur system,if ur system still slow. Then may be ur system infected with a virus/spyware etc.\nOtherwise chage ur CDROM.

Sounds to me like somebody has screwed up your file associations. Instead of Adobe Acrobat Reader opening the file, Microsoft Paint did it instead.\n\nFind the file in your directory, right-click on it, choose "Open With" then you will hopefully see a list of programs including Adobe Acrobat; choose it and keep your fingers crossed.

More likely than not, it's your plug-in that's having the problem. Rather than clicking on PDFs to open them in your browser, right-click on the links, choose "Save Target As" and save the files to your desktop or some other place, then open them. That should work better.
