Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Preview fills RAM

[default08gotew1h6ix]

When I try to preview the pages on PDFs it constantly fills up my RAM, up to the point where i cannot load any pages.

On older Versions it does not happen.

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, when you try to preview the pages on PDFs it constantly fills up the RAM and you can not load more pages.

Please go to Edit (Win) , Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > Preferences > Page Display > Under Rendering, uncheck 'Use page cache' > Click OK and reboot the computer once and see if that works.

Hey Amal,

Thanks for the response. I did try that but unfortunately it does not solve the problem. There is no noticable difference

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that.

- Would you mind sharing the steps you are doing to preview the PDF pages?
- Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check. If the file is stored on a shared network/drive, please download it to your computer first and try again.

The fix works, THX from Hamburg :-))

I open any PDF on my local machine. Then i open the sidebar on the left side and click on the PDF Thumbnails. When I browse the pages there i can see the RAM filling up endlessly.

I have exactly the same problem since a week or two. It's a task that I've performed hundreds of times over the last couple of years and now it suddenly doesn't work: I open a scanned pdf file (typically 100-200 pages, 40-70 MB), expand the thumbnail preview to verify that all pages are there, remove the PDF/A protection, save and close the file. I can do two files, when I open the third file I always get the "our of memory" message and the program freezes. Before, I could dozens of files in a row and never had the problem.
