My Question...
Is 7 any faster than 6? I still use 5 on all of my machines because I can't be bothered to wait the 30-45 seconds it takes 6 to load everytime I accidently click a PDF link (even on my brand-new Powerbook!). 5 loads instantaneously.
My Question...
Loading Reader 7 on either my PowerBook or my G5 is quite speedy; I downloaded and opened a 25+ page PDF on the PowerBook, and Reader 7 opened, ready to browse the document, in something under three seconds, maybe less (didn't time it; just eyeballed it and counted :) ).
My Question...
Yeah, but how much RAM do you have? For those of us who've been unable ($$) to upgrade our RAM from the factory 256MB (in my case, in an 867MHz PB G4), the loading is painfully slow. XRG shows that it's not the processor that's laboring away, ruling out processor speed as the issue, but HD activity and memory usage goes way up. Fortunately for me, my new RAM upgrade is in the mail. :D
My Question...
That's definitely the major factor; both my machines are loaded with RAM (all third-party, none Apple-provided beyond the stock amount). 256MB is borderline unusable for even typical OS X usage, let alone browser plug-ins.
My Question...
The first time Reader 7 (and also Acrobat 7) is loaded, it takes its time. The next time it is loaded, it is pretty fast.
My Question...
I just installed on my PB G4 867 and it opened significantly faster than version 6. I have 384M RAM. I stopped uisng Reader because it was so slow. I like Preview but maybe this one will change my mind...
My Question...
Have you tried to disable unwanted plugins in the Adobe Reader.app? Just get info on it, expand the "Plug-ins" section and un-tick the polug-ins you don't think you'll use. Seems to speed it up. I think this was a hint some time ago...?
My Question...
Where do you see this? I get info on the Reader app, and I see nothing about plug-ins. Could you be more specific?
My Question...
In my experience, Reader 7 launches and runs as fast as Preview. The speed increase over version 6 could hardly be larger. Adobe did a really good job making 7's speed up to par with both Preview and Reader on Windows. |
