Make Acrobat Reader load 75% faster!

Applies To

Ok, this has nothing to do with programming in any way, shape or form, but it is too good not to mention.

Problem

We use Adobe Acrobat Reader all the time and it loads really, really slow.

Solution

The solution is too good not to put into a tip form. I got from Chris Johnson's blog and knowing its transitory nature, I thought I'll put it up here. So the bottom line is this: go to your Acrobat\Reader folder and take everything from the "plug_ins" folder and move it into "Optional" except the following: Search.api, Search5.api, IA32.api, EWH32.api, EScript.api. Printing and search will still work, and it will load 75% faster. This will work only with Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0.
