3000+ Comments and PDF (High Comments issue)

Question

Hi,

I have a PDF with more than 3200 comments and so I can't use Acrobat Reader the same way as let's say a document with 10 comments. By this I mean the software becomes too slow. Task manager shows about 400MB of 16 GB RAM used with CPU constantly at 20% at 4 GHz.

I strongly believe either Acrobat Reader is coded just to handle 100 to 300 comments or I need a Threadripper sort of CPU... just to view/annotate PDFs. Or maybe my CPU is just not suited for this task.

CPU: AMD 3500X

RAM: 16 GB @2400MHz

Storage used: SSD

Graphics: GTX 1650

Hi @hellbraker2222

As per the issue description mentioned above, Reader is getting slow when adding 3200 comments on the pdf . Is that correct?

Please ry updating Reader to the latest patch using "Check for updates" option under "Help" menu, You may also download updates from here: Adobe software and product updates
Reboot the machine after installing update and try again.
Also, try replicating the issue in a new user account by clicking on the Start button > control panel > add or remove user accounts > create a new account. Login into that account, launch Acrobat from there and check.

Regards

Ria
