Hi,

I had the same problem with delayed scrolling and followed jondaley's suggestion to turn of "use smooth scrolling" in IE. It worked! Now Adobe Acrobat scrolls with no delay. Thanks!

Here's a link showing where the "use smooth scrolling" option can be turned on/off in IE:

Do you have "smooth scrolling" turned on in Internet Explorer? I always turn that off, as it causes delays when scrolling in various applications.

I have done the same with Acrobat 8.0 which vastley improves the loading, but I has an annoying delay on scrolling. Adobe support say they don;t experience this but I've seen it on 3 different machines.

Basically the 1st scroll movement has about a 1/2 second delay, after that it's ok. If you then wait a secound, or two the 1st movement is delayed again.

There's also a delay in displaying the open document when toggling between Acrobat & another window. It's tha actual document window that is delayed & not the whole of the application window.

Does anyone have any suggestions???

Acrobat was being annoying today, and kept re-installing itself on the desktop and start menu. I don't want it there, that's why I deleted it... ugh.

I found a utility to fix it.

After playing around with plugins and various pdf documents, I now have only these plugins active:

escript.api
ewh32.api
search.api
search5.api
VDKHome directory

This set up has worked with all pdfs I have opened, and gives the fastest results.

I personally despise how it constantly creates a "My eBooks" folder on load. Deleting ebook.api solves that problem, too!
