    2.5 (May 21, 2006)

    If you are using a desktop with a resoluton of 1024x768 or greater then feel free to use the standard version (link to the left). If however, you are using a desktop resolution of 800x600 or greater then please download the 'mini' version, this has all of the same features and content but has been designed for smaller desktops.

  2. Comment - Adobe Leaves Behind 9x with Acrobat 7

    2.5 (Dec 23, 2004 - 8:05 PM)

    Make it load faster and unload when your done with it:

    In Edit-Preferences, do the following:
    General tab: turn off “Automatically save document changes”
    Internet tab: turn off all three checkboxes
    Page Display tab: turn on “CoolType”
    Search tab: turn off “Enable fast find”
    Startup tab: turn off “Show messages and automatically update”
    In View-Toolbars, turn off “Rotate view” and “Search the internet”. Under “Show button labels”, turn them all on so you can figure out what the heck those icons means.
    Fire up Windows Explorer and do the following:
    Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\
    Right-click to create a new subdirectory, and call it plugins_uninstalled
    Move all the .api files from the plug_ins subdirectory to your new plugins_uninstalled subdirectory, except for AcroForm.api (for form-filling) and EScript.api (dependency of AcroForm.api).
    Finally, go to Start-Run-All Programs-Startup, and right-click and delete the “Adobe Reader Speed Launch” link that Adobe silently added to your startup process
