Help!!

Every time I open a PDF, I get a window that pops up saying "Content Preparation Progress - Preparing the document for reading." I don't know why this comes up or how to turn it off, but Adobe now crashes if I try to open multiple PDFs at the same time.

HELP!!

Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1.2

Thanks.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Windows

Something is very, very wrong with your Acrobat installation. You need to contact Adobe technical support. And I would suggest that you uninstall Acrobat, then reinstall, and do not under any circumstances update to 8.12

I have exactly the same problem with version 8.1.2. (win XP)

Always that anoing pop up window with "content preparation progress" when I open any pdf file.

Did the test to open more than one file at the same time, and it crashes when opening 3 or more files.

Help...

As far as the content preparation goes, this is totally incorrect. There is nothing wrong with your installation.

1. Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Reading
2. Under "Screen Reader Options", select "Only read the currently visible pages"

As far as Adobe crashing with multiple documents, that could be a number of different things, and not so easy to diagnose with the given information.
