Acrobat makes Word slow

[Janne Wallin]

I've just installed Acrobat 6.0 on my Power Book G4 where I already
had MS Office X (10.1.5). It works fine, but Word has become VERY
slow. Is there a remedy?
Best,

Remove the Word Addin installed by Acrobat (/Applications/Microsoft
Office X/Office/Startup/Word), but you'll loose the functions it
provides.

I have the same issue - installed Acrobat 6.0 Professional on mac OS X
(10.2.8) running MS Office v.X. The only Office app that has issues is
Word. When opening a document Word opens and Word waits for the Acrobat
Toolbar to open.....which takes so long. And the process repeats every time
I attempt to open a new document.

Any help would be so appreciated!

Hi Mike,

The original post you quoted was answered as follows:

You should have kept looking .

Yes, but since you can use either OSX Preview or assign Acrobat 6 to be your
mainstay preview application and can also use it to print Word documents to
PDF via Acrobat's more sophisticated PDF options, those tools that AA 6.0
puts in the Office Start-up folders are redundant. Hence, you really aren't
going to lose much.
