JUMP TO ANOTHER FORUM

(thinking…)

It is so slow it is almost unusable.

Adobe Acorbat Pro DC is so slow it is almost unusable. I am ready to find an other .pdf creator. I have tried every fix found in the forums and nothing has substantially helped.

    +1 seriously so slow to open even the most basic PDF files and comments.

    Time to find a different pdf editor. Acrobat won't use more than 1 processor core and it won't use the graphics card. Why is Acrobat stuck in the 2000's?!?!? This is ridiculous, I cannot run my business waiting for ****** technology.

    Hello

    Has any found any solution to the problem?

    I've been trying to Create PDF from Microsoft Word (with Acrobat DC) and it seems to be impossible.. I have a document with 200 pages and it takes almost an hour to generate PDF... actually, it seems there is something going on, but it can't be completed... and I cannot wait an hour (or more) for that.

    In the past, it worked pretty well.. right now I cannot generate a properly working PDF with links, etc.

    I am again getting frustrated by how unusable Acrobat DC is in a professional design environment. Trying to mark up a 56 page PDF is excruciatingly slow. I am working on a brand new 2020 MacPro with 192 Gb RAM, there is no excuse for this awful software that I am paying for as part of my Adobe CC subscription.

    Adobe, SORT IT OUT.

    We're now PAYING and it's got slower. Upon opening a PDF I have to wait while its unresponsive. Then try scrolling thru - not responding. Decide to add comments - click and WAIT. Stalls while saving. Irritating and mind numbing.

    Creating .pdf's with DC is laggy & more time consuming than it was with the desktop version. Please fix the Adobe DC response time when creating .pdf's because it is unnecessarily now more time-consuming than it was with adobe pro x1.

    I am just trying to open and review PDFs before sending to client. I can go get a cup of tea…in my kitchen…downstairs…and then come back, it probably will be up by then.

    I run a 2013 MacBook Pro with Acrobat DC and the performance is not great.
