I use Cloud CC with Acrobat and have the "Adobe PDF" Printer installed under Win 10. Recently, the printing to PDF became very slow. Here is what happens: I open an Excel document and press <CTRL> <P>. After 1 minute and 8 seconds (using stop watch), the preview is displayed and at 1 minute and 30 seconds, the print menu appears. The document is only 1 page but has lots of graphic, However the file size is only 979 kB. Now the same test with an Excel document that has only 1 character in it and it takes 10 seconds for the print menu to display (the preview displays at the same time. Then I do the same thing (using the document with the graphics) but now with "Microsoft Print to PDF" as my default printer. It takes less than 2 seconds for the preview and the print menu to display. The I repeat this with our network printer as the default printer. Also only about 2 seconds to get preview and print menu. Every time, I closed and re-opened Excel. Why is Adobe so much slower?
