Window Resize Extremely Slow

I've seen older posts about this with no solution. Is this still a thing?

 

macOS 12.4 on MacBook Pro 2017, 3.1 GHz Quad-Core i7 with 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3, Radeon Pro 560 4 GB

I know that this is an old post, but I think that I figured out why this is happening.  I'm on a 2021 M1 Pro MBP.  Running the latest version (2023.001.20093).  

 

This has something to do with the adobe cloud connected services.  The simple fix is to click the "home" tab, then select "Starred" instead of "recent".  When I did this, then clicked back to the document I was reviewing, the window resize lag stopped.  Best guess is that it is a sync issue with the cloud, bogging down the software.  

 

The other solution is to clear your recents or disconnect the cloud services.  

 

Hope this helps.

Yes, the window resize lag is related to the Recent and Starred file lists being populated. I found that making sure they are never populated, by not starring any files, and by setting the number of "Documents in recently used list" to 0 (zero) in Preferences/Documents, completely solves the problem.

Using very good PC, Windows 11 (earlier with Win 10 too), Nvidia RTX 3090, window resizing in Adobe Acrobat Pro is still very laggy (newest version, I have all updates installed). Never fixed since many years . . .

I can confirm that. I'm just installing the latest production server from Nvidia. Let's see if that helps.

Hi Renee,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

When you say Windows resize is extremely slow, can you please share the reference discussion you are referring to here?

Would you mind sharing the Adobe Acrobat/Reader version you are using? To check the version, go to Help > about Acrobat/Reader and ensure you have the recent version 22.001.20169 installed.

If not then, Go to Help > Check for updates

 

Thanks,

Akanchha
