Seems like Acrobat jumped the shark a few versions back.
It's a monster.
Sounds like you need to use some font management software, though, which will allow you to load up sets as you need them, rather than having them always available.
- thinkcomp 16y agoI'm downloading some kind of font manager from Extensis right now. I was thinking I'd just use the copy of ATM Deluxe I have (and paid for) somewhere...except that it doesn't support Windows XP. And Adobe discontinued it five years ago. Brilliant.
- zokier 16y agoActually recent versions of Acrobat have been rather snappy for me. +1 for font management software. Yes, its a hackish solution, but if it works, then...
- jpravetz 16y agoYes, recent versions are snappy. I run Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 on Mac OS X and launch time isn't an issue. Acrobat delay-loads plug-ins, so the plug-in issue is mitigated. I don't doubt the font-induced launch time delays, however. I think I've heard this one before. Did you report the printing bug to Adobe?
- ThomPete 16y agoI would always use font management. No one uses 2000 fonts at the same time and with font management you can group them into different categories. Also if they are needed most applications will ask for them and activate them. So no need to keep them active all the time. I seem to remember that windows would take longer to load if my font folder where filled with stuff but I might be wrong (it might have been the amount of files I left on my desktop) Personally I prefer Linotype FontExplorerX http://www.fontexplorerx.com/ http://www.fontexplorerx.com/ It exist as a free version too which is normally more then you need.
