I'll be uninstalling it until these issues are addressed. I am wholesomely disappointed in this program. I should not be having issues with this program.
I have Creative Cloud, with auto-updates active for Adobe Acrobat, and I have a 2020 Macbook Pro, 16gb RAM, good graphic card (although as beautifully pointed out in the blog post above, said graphics card is not even utilized by Adobe Acrobat). However, while a recurrent issue, I've seen very little interest from your company in addressing it. The issues brought up in this post fully summarize my problem - and BEAUTIFULLY surmises a likely cause of these problems. I'm sure you are aware of this, because with a limited search I've seen multiple posts asking for help with this, most notably: While viewing simple PDFs (<1MB), without annotations, Adobe Acrobat has 1 to two second delays when scrolling, painfully slow performance, the program is basically unusable.
Open the file from your downloads folder and go through the installation process. And to easily edit and convert your PDFs into file formats like Excel and Word, try out PDF editor and converter Acrobat.
Acrobat and Preview can both do it, but Preview does it faster and nicer, so let’s see how we can make that happen. Go to MacUpdate to download the Adobe Reader. View, sign, collaborate on and annotate PDF files with our free Acrobat Reader software. Most of the time, though, all we want to do is double-click a PDF and have a look at it. Using the Preview app is a treat, with plenty of groovy features under the hood should you care to go deep. Second punishment: by using Acrobat, you’re NOT using Apple’s built-in, elegant, powerful, joy-to-use Preview app. I wouldn’t make my dog use Acrobat Reader. Every version of Acrobat Reader is misery to use: slow to launch, clumsy to operate, thousands of indecipherable options in the Preferences dialog, and very “un-Mac-like.” First punishment: Adobe’s punishing your by making you use Acrobat Reader (or Acrobat Reader DC, or Acrobat Reader Pro DC, or maybe an older version of Acrobat Reader). If Acrobat Reader has taken over your PDFs you’re being doubly punished.
