Creating instance to CAcroPDDoc taking time

[Rajeshrv@adobeforums.com]

When I try to create a instance to CAcroPDDoc, as follows,
CAcroPDDoc _objPDDoc = new AcroPDDocClass();
or
CAcroPDDoc _objPDDoc = (Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc) Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject("Ac roExch.PDDoc", "");

above mentioned statement takes about 1.6 to 2 seconds, which accounts for the performance bottleneck in my application.

When I try to do the same with acrobat window opened seperately then the time taken is 20 milli seconds or zero seconds.

My question is,
Is there anything we can do to bring this time down?

To instantiate Acrobat, it has to be running. If it is not already, then it needs to be launched. That is probably the time delay you are seeing...
