@scotw74004221 Acrobat X? First of all, Adobe Acrobat X was released on November 15, 2010. Adobe ended support for Acrobat X on November 15, 2015, typically refers to a perpetual license for that specific version on the operating systems it was designed for. Not sure if you recently updated the OS system on your Mac Studio, over time, new operating systems will introduce significant changes and security enhancements that often break compatibility with older, unsupported software.
Even though 32 gigs should be more than sufficient, I have 16 Gigs of RAM, and I have no issue opening a 60 MB file; this kind of delay is often related to background processes the application performs, or potentially corrupted settings.
Acrobat sometimes performs hidden tasks like updating internal caches, saving preferences, or interacting with security features, even when just closing a document. A common cause for such slowdowns is often related to Acrobat's Preference settings or possibly a corrupted preference file. Try this: Command K (Acrobat Preferences).
Under "Page Display", find an option like "Use page cache." Unchecking this option as it's designed to speed up opening, but it can sometimes lead to issues with closing. Mine is currently on as I have no issues.
Under Full Screen, turn this off. Full-screen transitions, which involve graphical rendering and animation, can sometimes trigger compatibility or rendering inefficiencies in older applications. In my case, I actually have this off!
I am guessing this just happened, so my money is a corrupted preference. I had a different issue when I got my battery replaced by a third-party vendor, and the Apple tech guys told me to manually delete the 'Adobe Preferences' as it will be regenerated as the computer restarts — I made a copy of the folder (for good measure) and instead, deleted the whole folder. Restarted it, and 'wham', my apps work.... now, I remove that folder every 6 months or so. The preferences folder went from 17 gigs to 390kb!
