George,

Acrobat Reader v6.x only. In Edit | Preferences. Under *Internet* you have
*Allow speculative downloading in the background*. Under *Trust Manager*
are *Allow documents to open other files and launch other applications*
and *Allow multimedia operations*.

Somewhere among that lot there is *Enable Acrobat javascript* but didn't
see it just now, however, some of these options disappear when the
responsible plug-ins aren't loaded and AR-Speedup stops them - or most of
them - loading. There's an automatic update setting too which I haven't
seen in some time.

Hi Shane.

As I have *always* had problems with Adobe Acrobat (any version),
can you enlarge on:
"Allow Multimedia Operations", "Allow Speculative Downloading in the
Background" crap?

ar-speedup?

*Shane* has posted this message:

Haven't had any problems - once configured. Once all that "Allow
Multimedia Operations", "Allow Speculative Downloading in the
Background" crap is disabled. Except for the excessive time to open -
and that was cured by that ar-speedup you posted the link to a while
back, Noel! I've been pleasantly surprised with the ease of reading
the 585 page 9/11 Report.pdf.


What problems are you having?

Acrobat has been getting more and more intrusive as the versions have
come - and someone really needs to take a massive cluestick to the
writers' collective heads, and bring what is supposed to be a plugin
back to what it's supposed to do - help the user read pdf files,
instead of attempting to be another browser/media player.

Janet,

I'm sorry to read that you weren't able to solve the problem with
Acrobat
6. I see though that you've dropped back to using Acrobat 5. I'll
tell you a little secret g, I also use Acrobat 5 on Win Me having
no need for the bloat that is Acrobat 6. :-)

Cheers,

NP, George. I notice it's for 5.x too. That reminded me that, in fact, I
used to have the same problems with the 5.x Reader. The new options in 6.x
seemed more potential security concerns than anything else and doubtless, in
9x at least, all that background stuff would impact on performance - or
should I say *stability* (especially, it seemed to me, when viewing in the
TIF/installed as a BHO) - but it's the ar-speedup that's made the most
noticable improvement here.
