Sometimes, Adobe Reader seems to take forever to load and display a PDF. Heres’s a little trick for speeding things up a bit.
First, open the plugins folder for Adobe Reader: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\plug_ins
Next, create a new folder named “Optional” right there in the “plug_ins” folder.
Finally, move all files and folders from the “plug_ins” folder to the “Optional” folder you just created, except for:
EWH32.api
Search5.api
Search.api
EScript.api
Leave these files where they are (in the “plug-ins” folder) otherwise Adobe Reader will fail to operate correctly.
If you are running version 7 and/or anything else other than version 7, you can also use a tool called Adobe Reader SpeedUP found here: [http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/PDF/Adobe-Reader-SpeedUp.shtml]
