At work we use Adobe Reader to view and print PDF
file. At home I mostly use one of the open-source PDF viewers,
though I have installed the closed-source Adobe Reader application
for Linux. The problem with Adobe's Reader application is that it's
SO SLOW, which is very noticeable on Linux where I have much
faster alternatives.
Long ago I found instructions from Adobe to remove most of the plug-ins
and low and behold Reader started much faster. I had forgotten to do
this on my current work system and never even tried with Reader for Linux.
This week we were updating quite a few PDFs on the company website so
the delay for Reader to start was becoming a pain, so again I disabled
the plug-ins and again Reader now starts acceptably fast.
