Why Adobe Acrobat hangs for a few seconds when first creating text box?

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.11.

Usually, whenever I do the first text box after awhile since I finally used Adobe, it hangs for 5 seconds. Would it be a matter of Adobe or a hardware problem?

These symptoms result from a combination of the internal architecture of Acrobat and your hardware configuration.

When the first load of Acrobat when you explicitly call Acrobat or when you double-click a PDF file, only the minimum part of the program which is required to view a PDF file is initially loaded into memory. This excludes the required modules to support the myriad of features that supports Acrobat, including forms, preflight, signatures, editing PDF files, etc. What if all the code needed to be charged at time of initial start Acrobat, that the starting time would be too long! However, this additional code is loaded as needed. It is the reason why you see the delay of the first time you create a text box and not for the following text boxes.

In addition, when you close your last document, Acrobat isn't immediately shutdown. For example, if you double-click a PDF file for a short time after you think that acrobat is is no longer running, it quickly shows your PDF file and even the creation of the first text box will not only delay you previously registered.

This brings the question of how can you minimize the delay? There are several factors at work here. The first is the amount of memory real you have on your system. If you have many programs running and not a lot of memory, you end up with a virtual memory with the page fly resultant defects requiring operations on disc for you get the memory required by Acrobat and program memory pages that are stored on the disk. Then of course, the speed of your disks makes a difference both dealing with management as well as the portions remaining Acrobat loading of virtual memory needed for editing functions you call. A disk 5400 RPM is much slower than a 7200 RPM drive, which in turn is very slow compared to a SSD (solid state disk). And if you do not have a SSD and your magnetic disk drive is fragmented, more disk performance suffers. Bottom line is that adequate main memory and a disk capacity and speed higher will help. And if your drive is not an SSD, defragment your drive on a regular basis.

  • Firefox hangs for a few seconds when you try to suspend videos or skip commercials on Youtube.

    Hi all!

    My problem is that YouTube freezes for a few seconds when I try to put a video on a break or skip or run advertisements. The video freezes while the sound continues to play until, at the end of say 5 seconds, youtube is finally what I tell it to do.

    This does not occur if the video is embedded on another website, nor is it on Vimeo, Dailymotion etc. I can play YouTube videos perfectly when you use Chrome, IE and Windows 8 Youtube application that I have.

    After the first freeze all commands start works great, at least until I've opened a new video.

    I noticed that many people are having problems with youtube while using firefox and I have tried a few things:
    -uninstalling and reinstalling flash and java
    -from Firefox in safe mode
    -using the different antivirus software
    -Reinstall Firefox

    I read that this could be a problem with the whole Google being all buddy-buddy with Adobe thing, but I'm skeptical.

    So, is it possible to get YouTube working properly?

    Thank you!

    You can check for problems with the latest version of the Flash plugin and try these:

    • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
    • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
    • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Adobe Acrobat stops after a few seconds

    Recently, some of our users are problems where Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.16) stops after having been open for a few seconds.

    OS: Windows 8.1

    What I tried:

    • Removal tool including vacuuming (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs ) can clean installation
    • Removal and remove manually the remaining records in C:\User\username\appdata\roaming, local and locallow, removing everything related to Adobe acrobat form the HKLM\Software and HKCU\software... then clean install
    • Adobe running with administrator privileges and it runs under a different user account
    • Removing and installing a version previous (11.0.05), which had the same stop to unextected
    • Removed the preferences as described here How to reset preference settings in Acrobat format.  (Note that he had no new folder preferences created after moving the former again and start Acrobat)

    So far, I have still no idea why this happens and how to solve it. I hope you can help.

  • YouTube videos are green for a few seconds when they start, quickly moving and switch between fullscreen and windowed mode

    suddenly, last night something happened with youtube. whenever I run a video on youtube its green for a few seconds, then it goes back to normal. its also green when I fast forward/jump and when I change between full screen and windowed. I linked to a screenshot of how it looks as if I googled this problem I find something else where people get a green screen but no picture at all and that it lasts the entire video.

    I tried updating the drivers for my graphics card. I tried to play on my nvidia card rather than use my intel graphics hd 4600 and still got the same result, but instead to get a green image, it was really dark almost black. I also tried to reinstall flash even downgrade to an earlier version, but nothing does. and the strange thing is that I only have this problem on youtube and only through firefox so I even tried reinstalling firefox, but that did not work either

    I found 2 things of this kind of help.
    the first solution is to disable hardware acceleration, but instead to get a green image for a few seconds, image frozen for the same period of time and then play and she is like when its Green, when I start it up, jump and change to full or windowed.

    the second solution I found in support for mozilla, to change the HTML5 player. But even if this player works great I really like it. for some reason any the break from the drive when I change between full screen and windowed mode and I don't like these pop-up windows get you that its now in full screen and I can press ESC to quit.

    These are just little things, but I would like to return the standard player.
    If anyone knows anything that could help me with this please let me know.

    This is the screenshot:

    What a little wild speculation?

    YouTube uses a technology that has chopped videos in individual pieces, which is probably video serve more easily, but could create more opportunities for issues when moving in the video. There is an add-on called Center of YouTube that allows you to disable this technology and back to the days of one big file. Might be worth a try.

    Hello world

    I have a Vista Ultimate SP2 system and all updates, my hardware is an AMD Athlon 64 x 2 3.2 Ghz with a RAID 0 (2 discs), 4 GB of RAM, video memory shared up to 1 GB, Asus M2A-VM Motherboard.

    My problem is that sometimes when you work with any my computer shutdown application package to meet any keyboard or mouse control for 2-3 seconds and suddenly come back with tasks in the queue and fast as usual.

    I've updated my Chipset and RAID drivers.

    I uninstalled ASUS ACPI Center who could be one of the causes of this problem, rename the executable to Center asus acpi.

    I ran TuneUp Disk Doctor to verify my RAID and fix problems

    I update and updated my Antivirus ESET Smart Security in order to improve the performance of the process EKRN who sometimes take a large part of the time CPU.

    Can someone advice me how track and what tools to use to run a diagnosis of systemd and check if my problem is with the hardware or the operating system?

    Kind regards.

  • CC of Photoshop seems to hang for a few minutes when you import Lightroom CC using the Spot Healing Brush.

    Recently updated Lightroom LR CC and CC updated Photoshop. When I "edit a photo in Photoshop CC", Photoshop seems to crash shortly after the image is loaded. Using the Spot Healing Brush just seems to hang the system for a few moments. Sometimes, I left the window and comes back only to see the large tracts of "to be edited" trails on the image. When they came, I have no idea. After an eternity, these trails are published. I have no idea where Photoshop is going and what is the cause.

    It doesn't look like we'll be much help then, but you use a similar thread in the LR forum?  No, I see that it is the only wire you have anywhere.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 closes when start for a few seconds

    Hello

    When I try to open the Photoshop CC 2014. It will close after that that she has started upward for a few seconds without any error message dialog in Photoshop or error log in Event Viewer.

    I just subscribed to the combo of Photoshop & light package yesterday and tried to install Photoshop CC 2014.

    I tried to figure it out for at least 10 hours in 2 days by searching for solutions to these problems and tried everything I could do, but nothing really works.

    What I've tried are as follows:

    1. uninstall the cc ps 2014 with disable the preferences option and reinstall again with creative cloud application, but no luck.

    2. update graphic driver Nvidia, which he is already up to date, no luck. I even update windows using the center of Update window, but still the same problem.

    3. use Adobe Creative cloud cleaner tool after uninstalling the program. The cleaning tool works fine with message successfully and no error message in the log file. Then I try to install again, the ps, but no luck again.

    4. use the license Update Service tool, but not luck.

    5 remove the opm.db and not lunch Photoshop again, but no luck, same problem.

    ***6. Rename the folder SLStore SLStore_old. Open the program and he will ask me the software license by signing with my adobe account, he 'works' only for the first time. However, once I close the application and open it to new, same problem occurs, the program quits just after that I open it again. Now, I have to rename the file everytime I want to use Photoshop.

    (In fact, this problem happens the same thing for the LR and now I have to rename the folder SLStore whenever I want to use the LR as well)

    It seems to me that I have a few little license problem, but I don't understand why? and how to fix it?

    I use Window 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 on my VAIO laptop.

    The specs are Intel (r) Core i7 CPU [email protected], 6.0 GB of RAM. The GPU is NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 425 M.

    I really need to use the program and that's why I decide to buy the package, please help solve this problem.

    Any help, any recommendations would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I found the solution to that of these threads Re: Photoshop CC opens and then closes immediately. What gives? and Re: Photoshop CC crashes and closes a few seconds of starting

    I did it and it works for me, so I think I should share it so that people who have faced the same question that I can give it a try.

    Basically, just uninstall the Photoshop and creative cloud, then rename the folder SLCache SLCache_old. Restart your computer once and then re - install everything again. (CC and PS)

    It should work.

    Thank you

    Hi guy,

    I think that it of difficult to say exactly why the screen / the game freezes for a few seconds during the game. There are too many different factors that can affect the game, laptop performance.

    For example the GPU performance can be clocked down due to a higher temperature or memory might be full and the data has be moved to the HARD disk using the paging file.
    Maybe the CPU's load a few seconds due to various processes that run in the background (anti-virus, etc.)
    Maybe its GPU driver problem. Who knows

    I think first of all you must disable all security and antivirus software that could run while you play a game. But do this only while game.
    You can also try to reduce the graphic details in the game settings.

    Curiously, just a simple reboot fixed it.
