I had Windows XP-3 up untill last week, when my comp just gave up [after all i had it for 6 yrs and it got tired], and the new Comp i got has Windows 7.
I have Acrobat X pro, and mostly i work with construction Plans that are e-maild to me in PDF and never had any problem opening or editing the file or document.
Now eith the new comp every time i open a file, i get this pop-up saying "Please wait while the document is being prepared for" and it sometimes takes longer then other times.
Is their a way to get rid of this pop-up?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 10.1, Windows

Hi,

this may be causes by an unsiutable setting for the screen reader in Acrobat.
Open Acrobat and then it's preferences (ctrl + K).
Then select the "Reading" tab in the menu on the left.
On the rights you will see a segment "Screen Reader Options" where you can change teh settings for "Page vs Document".
Try some different settings.

Thanks Radzmar for being of help to me.
I already tried all 3 choices of the pull dowm menue, and i dont really see the difference.
I would rather like to turn off the Reading option all together, is there a way of doing this?

In the www you will find several tutorials how to remove Accessibility.api completely from your system.
But, I don't think if this an good idea.

Thanks again Radzmar
If i can ask you to be a bit more specific, [1] if you can give me a link , [2] why do you think that its not a good idea to turn it off, since i never use reading.
