Launch Adobe Reader, and then open its Preferences. Under the Internet section, update your network speed to LAN (or whatever's appropriate) from 56kbps (default).

Speed up Adobe Reader PDF rendering in Safari
I find the built-in PDF rendering capability much faster than the Adobe one... the latter for me also seems to hang the browser on a regular basis.

I think the better question should be, Why would Acrobat care what kind of connection speed you in the first place? Should this already be established through the Network interface when a connection is established?

I'm guessing that it has to do with "speculative downloading in the background", as it says on the option on the same preference page. When you are viewing an appropriately structured PDF one page at a time, the reader can be downloading further pages while you are reading. I'm guessing that its algorithm for deciding how aggressively to download ahead of your reading might depend on your connection speed and so telling it the correct speed might be advantageous in some cases.

I can confirm a noticable speed-up on my machine (PB G4 1.33 GHz, Acrobat Professional 7.0.7). Thanks for that hint. |
