I've been experience incredibly slow performace on Acrobat while in Prepare Form editing mode. I've created many fillable forms in my day, and have not had any performance issues until a few days ago. The app seems to get overwhelmed when I do certain tasks like copy and paste check boxes or radio buttons, or when I'm renaming form elements. I'll see the spinning beach ball spin for 30-60 seconds, over and over as I try to create a form.
My iMac has 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD with 300GB free, so I feel like my hardware is up to the task. I'm on the latest version of Ventura (13.3.1) and have already unistalled Acrobat and reinstalled, which didn't fix the problem.
I checked out Activity Monitor while trying to create a form in Acrobat, and it was showing that Acrobat was at times using up to 80% of my iMac's CPU... not sure if that's normal, but I'm assuming not.
I'm getting stressed out because I have a client expecting finished PDF forms from me in a few days, and the software is preventing me from completing this job in any realistic timeframe.
Can anyone provide tips for troubleshooting?
Thank you!
