Many users do not like to use the Adobe Reader because of its slow loading time which is mainly caused by the many plugins that are loaded. It seems to take ages until Adobe Reader initializes itself and displays the pdf document that one wanted to view.
Several freeware alternatives – like the Foxit Reader – are able to display pdf files as well and do that a lot faster than the Adobe Reader. I would like to introduce another possibility and that is to use the software Adobe Reader SpeedUp which speeds up loading time of the Adobe Reader tremendously.
It scans your system automatically for Adobe Reader versions and has the option to speed up the pdf viewer by removing some of the plugins that are loaded during startup. It is possible to either uncheck plugins manually or select one out of four different templates.
I decided to try the Turbo template which loads only a handful of plugins. This had the effect that the Adobe Reader was starting instantly, almost as fast as if you would be starting Notepad. This is a huge difference to the time it took to start before.
You might want to make sure that you do not need the plugins that are deactivated in this process. The Plugin Help button explains what each plugin does which means that you can now make a decision based on those information.
I’m using the Adobe Reader to view pdf documents which works well with the Turbo setting. If you use it for instance to view ebooks protected with DRM you would need the eBook Adobe DRM plugin.

[...] Aptikau įdomų nemokamą įrankį - Reader SpeedUp, skirtą Adobe Reader spartinimui. Internete nemažai parašyta apie tai, koks beviltiškai lėtas tas Adobe Reader ir koks beprotiškai greitas Foxit PDF Reader, tai, žinoma, bet kokios pastangos paspartinti PDF skaitymą su Reader atrodo šventos. Bet jūs jau mane pažįstate – kartais būnu nepaken?iamas skeptikas… [...]

[...] 我想我们都有这个感觉：如果仅仅使用Adobe Reader来打开PDF文件的话，那么它的确是太臃肿了。它附有很多的插件需要时间载入界面，有时候它载入的时间比阅读的时间还长。我使用一个叫Adobe Reader Speedup的软件来关闭一些插件达到加速的作用。这样，Adobe Reader可以迅速打开，如同另一个软件Foxit PDF Reader一样。 [...]
Good utility, but way more elegant – like you say – to install Foxit Reader, and forget Acrobat like a nightmare ;)
I prefer also Foxit Reader, there is no need to hack it for proper fast working.
