If I tried to click on anything more than a few times then Windows would report that Acrobat is Not Responding. It would recover on its own within around another 1. This is a common complaint from what I can see. I tried the following things without any success Things that didnt work Setting Recently Used Documents to only 1 Toggling Enhanced Security, Protected Views settings, etc. Plug Ins attempts Holding Shift when Acrobat starts keeps the problems from happening but I need many of the Plug Ins. Graphics Multimedia Settings changes No effect for me. Trying all kinds of permutations of settings in the Preferences settings had no effect for me.

My opinion is that it it very poor design and maybe insufficient testing that would cause this unresponsiveness to happen and go undetected. I have been unable to find a non registry way to get this result. Good luckHow To Fix PDF Search In Windows 7 and Windows 8 6. Bit.
