We do that at work on many of the machines for our users where they complain about that issue with IE and such.<BR/><BR/>For visitors who aren't familiar with what Jim is talking about:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://gemal.dk/blog/2003/11/18/slow_acrobat_reader/" REL="nofollow">Disable Acrobat plug-ins</A><BR/><BR/>For my personal/work machines, I like this approach because while it doesn't take any of the functionality away from Adobe Acrobat Reader, it does give a very light/fast alternative PDF reader partnered nicely with Firefox for quick viewing of web-found PDF's I stumble across.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13777170.post-1166306995038971702006-12-16T16:09:00.000-06:002006-12-16T16:09:00.000-06:00I used to have the same problem with Mozilla.

Now the reader loads quickly and I don't miss the plug-ins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
