Adobe Acrobat DC Extremely Slow during Editing

Hi to All,

While using Adobe 25.001.20531 on Windows 11, the software becomes very slow when I move elements in the document, add or move images, add text or edit text—and even killing background processes doesn’t help.

I’ve already followed some guidelines by disabling caching, turning off Protected Mode at startup and disabling JavaScript, but I haven’t noticed any improvements.

What else could I look at?

 i attached an empty template of a tipical pdf that we edit

what i've noticed is that become very slowly each time adobe scan the pdf for searching text when i'm scrolling the documents

best regards

Hi there 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out. 

Acrobat Reader is a freeware application used to read, Annotate, and Fill & Sign PDF files https://adobe.ly/3Ga3nCI 

Would you mind sharing a small video recording of the steps you are taking and the issue as it occurs for more clarity and understanding?

Is this an issue with a particular PDF ile or with all the PDFs? Please try with a diffrent PDF file and check.
I have checked the PDF file that you have shared and found that it's created using a non-Adobe application, please try to create the PDF/s using Adobe Acrobat Pro (Paid subscription) and see if that works for you.

Sorry i Mean Adobe Acrobat DC pro,

we can't change the PDF source because are generated by our ERP

as soon we open that pdf and Click "Edit" and we are starting to Add Text or Images and moves parts of contents, after few minutes becomes Extremely Slow, when writing a text will appear after 5-6 seconds, move components like an image throug the files become impossibile because it freeze in a page

When I view the file you shared the only thing I'm seeing are the graphic elements at the top of each page, and one or two texts in them ("DA: 06/08 A: 13/08" on page 3, for example). The rest is blank.

If that's not what it's supposed to be, the file is probably corrupt. You need to ask the people who created it to solve this problem.

it just removed from sensitive files and yes is an Adobe Acrobat DC file

[try67]

What do you mean? I can see in the file's properties it was created using the iText pdfHTML library, and the application name that created it is blank, so I doubt it was created by Acrobat.

[gabriele_8383]

i mean that we edit those files with acrobat pro and we can't change the library of the erp that generate thoses files.

with old adobe versions we did not have any kind of problem but with the 2025versions we run into those problems

[Despite the (original) title, this is obviously about Acrobat, not Reader, since the latter can't do any of those actions.
I edited the title and moved it back to the Acrobat forum]
