DWTips solves a problem that has plagued everyone at some point. By tweaking a couple of settings you can totally speed up the process of opening Adobe Acrobat files. I think we all just go used to the long delay and eventually learned to live with it but when you have to open 5-10 PDFs per day, it certainly tests your patience when it takes 30 seconds to open.

Every time you run Adobe Acrobat up to 20 plugins are loaded unnecessarily - most users do not need even a fraction of them!

To disable unneeded plugins and make them optional instead, follow these instructions:

1. Install the latest version of Adobe Acrobat - you can get it here
2. Browse to the plugins folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\plug_ins
3. Create a new folder named Optional
4. Move all files from the plug_ins folder to Optional, except EWH32.api, print*.api, and Search*.api
