    Default Acrobat 8 Professional very slow

    Upgraded to CS3 on a Mac G5 running Leopard. Found Acrobat 8 Pro to be amazingly slow.

    Opening a PDF takes a couple minutes. Doing anything once the document is open takes several seconds for it to respond.

    Luckily, I left Acrobat 7 Pro on the machine, and if I open the same PDF, it works fine.

    Not sure if this is related, but, if Acrobat is not launch and I double click on a PDF, it will not open. Either Acrobat needs to be open first, or I must choose File->Open.

    Have uninstalled/reinstalled CS, and rebuilt the "Launch Services" database.

    Any other suggestions or explanations?

    What if you create a new user account on the Mac - does it still run slow?
