My supervisor has a brand new computer with good specs, running Windows 7. It has the newest version of Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Reader XI. When she clicks on a pdf in IE9, it takes maybe one full minute for it to open. This is regardless of the file size or number of pages. Then if she clicks the Print icon, it takes maybe another 15 seconds for the print window to open. When she is finally able to click the OK button to print, it still takes another 30 seconds to reach the print queue.
I saw online that you can go into Adobe Reader under "Edit> Preferences> Internet> uncheck "Display PDF in browser" and PDF files will then open in Adobe Reader, not Internet Explorer. When I did this, they still opened in IE9. And to be honest, Adobe Reader XI (not the plug-in) seems to be running a little slow also.
Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Check the system for virii and spyware. If the system is clesn temporarily turn off the virus protection and see if the behavior changes.
