Running the Program in the Background

Hello,

When I open a PDF file, the program creates a lot of CPU usage and there is a delay for a few seconds before I am able to scroll the file. This is because the program has to launch all its processes. I would like to know how to set the program to always run in the background in order that there may be no delay in opening and closing files.

Set Acrobat to be the PDF viewer for a browser. Then open a PDF in the browser, from a link. Close the browser and open the task manager, you'll see that Acrobat is running in the background, and stays there until you kill in manually.

Thank you for the information. Apparently it is necessary to keep a certain document always opened in order that the program may remain loaded in the memory.

There is no such setting. You can add it to your operating system's start

up folder if you want it to always launch when the computer first boots up.

I frequently open and close PDF files. If the program is added to the startup folder, it will close the next time I open and close a PDF file. Is there some setting in the Windows system which can allow to always keep the program launched in RAM?

I don't think so. You can probably create a scheduled task to open it every

minute or so (if it's already running nothing will happen), but I would not

advise it.
