Content Prep screen never finishes preparing

[Mr. Met]

Got a new iMac and moved everything over to new box. Every time I open Acrobat file this annoying screen comes up and won't go away. Covers up the PDF I'm trying to edit or view. I have to manually hit cancel button to get rid of it. Is there a setting in prefs to make this not even come up?

There is no such window on a mac.

I checked prefs on the mac and it already has "Only read the currently visible pages" by default.

Could you try following steps:

1- Select Edit > Preferences > Accessibility

2. Under Other Accesibility Options, uncheck Enable assistive technology support.

3. Select Ok > relaunch Acrobat and check.

It started to do this again. In general, Acrobat is abysmal. I get this screen every time I open a PDF. If I do a page resize like command-0, I get the beach ball for 10-25 seconds. In general, Acrobat is very, very slow.

Hi,

Recently we rolled out an update for Acrobat with a bunch of enhancements, the update might have reset your preferences. So please try to follow the steps mentioned above and let us know if you still face the same issue.

So far so good today after resetting prefs, quitting Acrobat and relaunching. Thx.
