Can that Adobe reader for something faster much faster

Guys I have to tell you about this,

On my 2 GHz when I go to open a PDF file Adobe reader opens it so slow, good logo on the way but slow, then when I go to close it down I beginning to think my computer is going to have a heart attack.

This opens so fast you will never see any logo, most likely you will get whip lush instead, when it stops loading.

Take a look at this then, "Foxit"

Why does it have the same icon set and interface as Acrobat Reader? Did they steal these objects from Adobe, or do they simply use the Acrobat control internally?

Thanks! I finally have a usable PDF reader for my Win98 socket 7 Internet PC. Adobe's reader was a dog.

Why would you want to turn the start up logo off? It least you know Adobe reader is starting up and the computer has not frozen up.

i agree, adobe acrobat is a shocking program, used to be v-e-r-r-y slow to print.

Both of the Adobe products I've used (Acrobat reader and Photoshop) are real slow to start up.

Photoshop pulls focus to its own window about 3 times as it does its various startup things, which is bloody annoying when you're trying to get something done in another window in the meantime! Are they afraid we'll miss the opening credits?

The splash screen is a waste of time...pure advertising. One can see the Adobe reader is launching because the program redraws the screen.

**** Go tofileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1069854583 and download the freeware Adobe Reader Speedup.

You will be impressed with the increase in the loading time of Adobe (albeit some of the rarely used plugins will stop working)

I've found the newer Acrobat Reader 7 is noticably faster than 6
