It took me far too many years to finally get sick of how slow Adobe Acrobat loads PDF files. It was taking between 10 and 30 seconds to load a single file. How could this be? Well, I found a solution and I highly recommend it to everyone, everywhere - it’s that good.

Adobe Acrobat is not only slow loading pages , also it consumes lot of resources.
There are better PDF viewing software available, that also use less memory.

Watz the need for adobe acrobat reader for viewing pdf files when u can use FOXIT READER to view pdf files.....It has almost 80-85% features which adobe acrobat reader has...Its not bulky as adobe coz it consumes 60MB of hard disk space while foxit reader consumes 0nly only ;;;;;1.5MB of space

I use Acrobat Pro... foxit cant be a replacement for that....
And if u enable Acrobat Speedlaunch in startup...acrobat pro loads a bit faster considering it hogs up some memory from the start.
But i generally need to use it for e-books, and i do that while downloading torrents....so Azureus+acrobat isnt all that trouble

And if you cant do with Acrobat Reader (Some applications need it .. For example Boson Netsim), you might wanna try Adobe Reader Speedup which I was using prior to Foxit ..

I use unattended switchless installer of Adobe Reader from RyanVM's site. Loads in a blink, all speedup options pre-configured.

Its not as fast as my Evince Doc Reader. If you really wanna test its strenght, open a PBoy mag in it, seriously, it'll lag. Evince doesnt :D
