Acrobat Reader 7
-
I'm using Acrobat Reader 5 at work and it's painfully slow on my 2.66GHz 1GB RAM machine. :( I've used Reader 6 sometime back and found it to be as slow as v5, if not slower. Has anybody used v7 here? Is it better or worse than v5? Vote 1 if v7 is faster than v5. Vote 5 if v7 is slower than v5. Leave a comment if I should avoid v7 like the plague. :rolleyes: Cheers, Vikram.

The startup time of V7 is super, its very fast and also have some minor bugs, but it doesn't stop you from trying that. http://www.priyank.in/

I purchased some eBooks from Amazon that require activation of Adobe. About 3 months ago I tried to open them with Adobe 7 and it never worked no matter what I did. I finally called Adobe. They made me remove 7 and go back to 6. I don't know if they fixed that problem or not but you should at least know it *has* been a problem for version 7. I've got it running on a dual processor 3.2 gig machine with 2 gigs of memory and while it opens faster than on my laptop a 2.5 gig mobile with 2 gigs of memory it's still slower than I'd prefer. I think my full version of Photoshop CS loads faster.:doh: Go figure... It's all slow. PDF's drive me nuts. Printing them is even worse. - Rex

I keep trying to use ARv7, but the installer insists on adding Yahoo Search to my desktop - I refuse to install it. At work I have v7, and it is, indeed, much faster to load and more versatile. I'd adopt it at home in a heartbeat if I could just decouple it from the Yahoo trash.

Sadly I think it's at the cost of Memory, there is this "Adobe Reader Speed Lauch" in my Startup folder :( Not a fan of software doing that....
Ya, but then also, I think its time more important than memory usage, I have 1 GB of RAM and I think v7 is fast as I have a lot of ebooks in PDF format, v7 helps me to quickly view the books. http://www.priyank.in/

You mush have left the checkboxes checked for Adobe Yahoo! Toolbar and Adobe Photoshop® Album 2.0 Starter Edition when you downloaded the installer. I've installed AR7 on at least a dozen machines at home and work without it requiring the Yahoo Toolbar to be installed. Try redownloading the installer. Steve

Have you tried FoxitReader, freeware? http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php It seems to read all the PDFs I have thrown at it, it is fast, < 1MB download, no installation required it is just a single EXE file.

But my bandwidth does. :sigh: Of course, if it's worth d/ling as you guys recommend, I'll do it. :) Cheers, Vikram.

Nope. The automatic reminder thingy won't let you unselect the Yahoo junk. It's all or nothing, so I pick nothing.:mad: "...putting all your eggs in one basket along with your bowling ball and gym clothes only gets you scrambled eggs and an extra laundry day... " - Jeffry J. Brickley

There's also something I read in a magazine that helped me. You'll probably be able to google it. in the folder 'Plug-ins' there's a bunch of Dll's that Adobe loads when it starts up, but it only needs 3 of them. I just forgot which ones. Move the others to another backup folder, leaving just those 3 and Adobe will open up like lightning! My articles www.stillwaterexpress.com BlackDice
