Here's a great little free util that Omar has found. I used to move the plugin's manually to speed things up, but PDF Speedup makes me NOT DREAD opening a PDF anymore. BTW, does Acrobat 6 suck LOTS more than Acrobat 5? I HATE the new Find Dialog.
I have previously written about how darn slow Adobe Acrobat 6 is when launching. I don't understand why Acrobat is so darn annoying. Here are some things I don't care for:* Don't create a “My eBooks“ folder in My Documents when I have nothing to put there.* Don't load 500 plugins when none of them are necessary to view a PDF* Don't place shortcuts for some lame Internet Printing thingy in my Start Menu (I loathe Start Menu Advertising)* Do install a PDF IFilter so that indexing products like Lookout can index PDFs w/o installing it seperatley* Don't load PDFs in IE because it is god awful slow* Don't make copy and paste so freaking hard* Don't ask me to install other Adobe software when I boot Acrobat* Don't create an updater (6.0.2) that creates an additional entry in my add/remove programsIf you want to fix most of these things, PDF SpeedUp is a free application that should come bundled with Acrobat. It's a must have piece of software to make Acrobat behave (as much as you can anyway). [shahine.com/omar/]
