Acrobat is PAINFULLY slow to edit doc

I opened a PDF created by another company and simply wanted to delete a few fields and add a company logo.  The app is so slow I can barely use it...  Just to move the logo I've pasted using the arrow keys is an excruciatingly slow process.  Moving left or right or up or down "5 clicks" can take 30 seconds.  Seriously adsurd...  I.e.  Get up and walk away from the machine while it is trying to move an image within the document or even simply scroll.

 

Yes, my machine can handle this app.  Brand new iMac w/ 256gb of ram.  Acrobat acts like I'm using an Intel Pentium from the mid-90s.  I run Illustrator all day / every day without an issue.  Acrobat is unusable.

 

Surely there's a solution???????

I have the same issue and I don't have the installation media any longer. Can I download the installation files and where in the installed Acrobat X Pro (10.1.16) will I find the registration info to reinstall and register again?


the solution was changing the preferences, as documented earlier in the case. it did not require uninstall / reinstall.

Hi,

 

Is this happening with every PDF or just that one you're working on?

 

Can you please share what was the source software that was used to create that PDF, and also what is the latest version update in your Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?
