Question

Adobe Acrobat - Opening PDF returns error - NOT RESPONDING

I am using adobe acrobat for opening work documents but currently I am leaning towards completely deleting the application. For the past two months the issue with opening a simple PDF files has been growing. I have tried all kinds of tips of changing the security (enhanced) preference to uninstalling and installing the application. 

 

It takes more than 2 minutes to just open the document before I can start going through a 10-page document. It is ridiculous and a huge time waste. I noticed there was a "bug fix" but it has not resolved the issue. In the past 6month the issue was for 5-10sec maybe which was a big downside but I could work with that. If I am not wrong the introduction of AI tool has seriously slowed down the loading speed of files.

In comparison: Opening the same file with any other application takes below 1-2sec. The 2 min of Adobe Acrobat Reader performace was timed without rushing ( 10-20sec after I actually pressed Open Document) since in practice it takes more time to open a PDF than for a coffee machine to brew a coffee and warm up the milk for cappucino.
