The glitch between Adobe Reader 6.0 and Firefox is pretty well-known<\/a>. Not only is Adobe Reader 6.0 a dog (on any platform), but in Firefox it can hang the browser when you try to exit the PDF file<\/a>. Annoying.<\/p>\n

One of the standard solutions is to upgrade to Adobe Reader 6.0.1. This seems to clear things up.<\/p>\n

Problem is, I don’t use Adobe Reader. I have an actual copy of Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard <\/em>(to write PDFs), and despite efforts to do the “upgrade my version” stuff in it, it didn’t want to advance beyond 6.0.<\/p>\n

For the record, and in case anyone else is facing that particular dilemma, doing the Reader <\/em>upgrade to 6.0.1 seems to work. You end up with multiple icons, but so far both the Reader and Acrobat seem to working find, and windows\/tabs can be closed without hanging Firefox. Shiny!<\/p>\n

I also downloaded a program called Adobe Reader Speed-Up<\/a> (ARSU), which disables a whole slew of the Adobe plug-ins, which in turn speeds up the Reader’s load tremendously. (The newest version makes the plug-ins optionally loadable by PDF, so you’re not really crippling the program.) I recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
