Disable plugins to improve Adobe Reader 6 launch speed
Authored by: krishna on Aug 14, '03 02:32:36AM

I searched for "Adobe Reader Applescript" (because I wanted to control/launch a full-screen adobe reader on one monitor while using applications on another one) in google, and came up with this link as number one ... something I'd been hunting for a couple days ago.

I'm wondering if this 'plug-ins' thing is built into 'Get Info', or if 'Get Info' is generally extensible enough that any application/file can add sections to it. In any case, I've disabled just about everything except search and the speed increase is very nice.

I did give up at one point, since I read pdfs so much on this nice TiBook screen, and now I just start Adobe Reader on login. At least my logins will be faster now :-)
