I have a newer version of Acrobat, you know the one where the tools all have Play School icons now. I'm checking imposed pressforms in Acrobat and it redraws the whole layout every time I turn a color off or on, and when I open it it draws it twice. Any ideas? I don't recall previous versions doing this.

Thanks

Hello G_Town...a DCS and G_Town sighting recently. The stars and planets must be aligning!

So Acrobat DC. What kind of computer and specifically the video card? Haven't noticed it on my 2013 iMac that has a separate video GPU and memory instead of integrated video that uses the iMac memory and CPU. Since they imposed pressrooms I'm guessing they need a lot of video muscle to render them. If you are on a Mac that has the retina display I know there are some Acrobat DC issues with the retina display.

Yes its one of the signs of the Apocalypse. I am rocking a crappy Mac mini. and a 20in cinema display and a 20in Dell (we are cheap).

Yeah that probably has integrated video. Driving two monitors and the bloated Acrobat DC might be why it is doing that. Adobe would probably recommend that you buy a new Mac Pro with a $1000 video card. But seriously I doubt anything you can do on that hardware is going to help.

Yea when I asked for a desktop machine and they said yes I was geeked until I saw the hockey puck of a computer they gave me.

I'm starting to think Apple and Adobe were in on it together

Apple and Adobe haven't been the best of friends since Apple started it's war on flash.

I still wouldn't doubt if it was true though.

You can bet they are even if isn't intentional. Apple creates faster hardware. Software vendors add new features bloat (Including Apple with OS X). That requires even faster hardware giving the software vendors to add in even more features bloat. Hardware and software upgrades feed each other. It is never ending.

Have no issues with that on my 5K iMac, but it is a beast of a computer compared to any Mac Mini out there. Was the previous version of Acrobat faster for you? I only found things got quicker with Acrobat DC.
