| Freeware to Speed Up Adobe Reader 7 SUMMARY: Freeware that claims to speed up Adobe Reader 7 by preventing infrequently-used plug-ins from loading.
Tired of waiting for Adobe Reader 7 to open whenever you click on PDF documents from within your web browser? AcroPDF Systems has developed a freeware tool called "PDF Speedup". This utility claims to speed up the loading of Adobe Reader 7 by letting you change settings such as
* Enabling or disabling plug-ins as you need them.
* Removing the splash screen whenever Adobe Reader 7 starts up.
Plus, this software also claims to:
* Allow "better speed for LAN and Cable connection[s]".
* Remove your "My Documents - My eBooks" folder.
* Remove advertisements for Adobe products from within the software.
If you're adventurous, you can download this tool at http://www.acropdf.com/. Note that disabling the wrong plug-in may cause certain PDFs to not display correctly. Use this tool with caution, but if it works for you, as it did on a test box for me, Adobe Reader 7 may load considerably faster
