This issue has been-posted before, but a solution has not been found…. Whenever I open PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro X, it stops working while a dialog comes up that says "preparing document for reading". Most of the files I open are a combination of engineering drawings and text. This dialog freezes Acrobat for several minutes until it is finished. It does this with most documents, but not all. It also does this when I use the "Combine supported files" feature in Explorer, and when I print documents to the Adobe PDF printer. Once I create and save a document, it does not come up, however, I have noticed that documents that are new to me, or created new, seem to have this problem. What is this? Why is it set to come on by default? And, most importantly, how do I turn it off or disable it? Is it possible to go into the setup for Adobe Acrobat pro x and uninstall this "feature"? It is entirely useless to me, and very unwanted. -------------- I have tried the following so far: Autoreading is turned off in Preferences View > Read Out Loud > Deactivate Read Out Loud has been clicked (The Read Out Loud > says "Activate Read Out Loud", so I am assuming it is off now) -------------- Currently: Two computers later, Two completely different installations of Windows 7 versions "Professional" and "Enterprise", Adobe Acrobat pro X, and now Acrobat Pro XI, the reading dialog still comes up. This now has all the feel of a program defect residing within the Acrobat software. There must be some way to permanently disable this very annoying, and very unwanted feature. --------------- Adobe, by the way, if you are listening out there, this should be a feature that is installed or not-installed based upon user preferences. I really do not like having to click through the cancel windows everytime I try to read a new document.
