Acrobat is slow and has wrong functionality

Question

Today I opened my Adobe Acorbat and was negatively astonished how slow and clunky the software reacts. Some functions ( adding text and geometry ) have such a huge delay that it is nearly impossible to work with it. Geometry is not printed out ( 2 circles do not appear on the paper ) Acrobat tells me that it is not possible to convert my .pdf in a .jpg because the size is too big ( ADOBE WHAAAAT??? ) the file has 500kByte. Etc., etc. If this performance remains, I will quit my abo. Sorry ADOBE, improvment gone wrong??? What did you do to this once great software???

What's that 500 KB file? Is it some sort of CAD or vector based land map? The thing is the file size represents just the disk space needed to store compressed data of that PDF but tells you absolutely nothing about, how much memory it takes to render that thing to the screen. It can take up multiple gigabyte. So the general analogy that a tiny file shouldn't be any problem to handle is just wrong. So, check how much memory it consumes when you open that particular file. Maybe you simply run into a memory shortage.
