Well there are solutions to the agonisingly slow loading of Acrobat...
1) Open C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader" folder. Or if you have Pro, it's probably in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Acrobat" folder.
Find the "plug_ins" folder and rename it "plug_ins_disabled".
Create a new folder named "plug_ins".
Copy the following files from "plug_ins_disabled" to "plug_ins":
EWH32.api, printme.api, and search.api
2) PDF Speedup - freeware (which does the same and more things in a more sphisticated way) from -
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-...-SpeedUp.shtml and there are others too....
Mac :ok:
