PDF SpeedUp Editor's Review

PDF files are used more and more regularly today, due to their small file sizes, portability, reliability, accuracy, and familiarity. Using PDF’s have become a very popular way to send information around, whilst helping avoid compatibility issues and data loss. The most common application used to read PDF files is Adobe Reader, and users with older computers may find that this opens quite slowly, which can be a real pain! To help and overcome this issue, AcroPDF Systems have developed PDF Speedup, the application to save the sanity of those who work with PDF files regularly, but have slower or lower spec systems.

In a way, I expected more from PDF Speedup, but on the flip side I was pleasantly surprised. PDF Speedup is one simple window, half of which is a large graphical logo, the other half consisting of check boxes and information about Adobe Reader.

By default, all of the options available to your system are checked and ready to go, awaiting only the user to click on the Optimize button which would apply the selected modifications. However, of course, if there is something you know you don’t want PDF Speedup to apply, you can tell it not to, by unchecking it.

One major part of Adobe Readers opening sequence is when it checks and requests to download any new updates. PDF Speedup can disable this procedure altogether, so you will no longer be pestered to update Adobe Reader unless you want to. On the downside however, it will mean that you will have to check manually for any latest security or performance fixes. PDF Speedup can also disable the Adobe Reader splash screen that shows during program startup, to also help speed things up a little bit. Advertisements for other Adobe products, which typically show in the upper right hand corner can also be disabled, along with My eBooks, the folder Adobe Reader creates in your Documents folder.

Not only this, but PDF Speedup also has the ability to stop Adobe Reader integrating with your web browser, and disable any browser add ons. It can also stop the confirmation box appearing when you attempt to close Adobe Reader, and remove files history from the application. PDF Speedup also attempts to speed up LAN and Cable connections - I am not entirely sure how it goes about achieving this, as it gives no explanation.

Finally, on the right hand side is a list of the current plug-ins used by Adobe Reader. More technical users may choose to look through this list, and modify it, which can be done by right clicking on a plug-in and selecting delete. You can also delete all plug-ins in one go, however you cannot manually add in in .api files to the plug-ins list. By default, all plug-ins are stopped from loading. The list of disabled plug-ins is only applied if the check box is ticked on the left hand side.

Once you are ready to go, click Optimize, and the selected actions will be carried out.

I tested PDF Speedup in a Virtual Machine, full of many other applications I have reviewed. Even though PDF Speedup applied many different tweaks, I didn’t really notice too much difference in Adobe Reader opening times. However, this said, I do suspect that users with lower spec systems would benefit from running PDF SpeedUp, especially by using it to disable plugins and disable updates. Overall, there isn’t really any possible way a user can go wrong with PDF SpeedUp. There is a restore button you can use after tweaks have been applied if you need to, and everything is set out a simple fashion. If you are having major speed issues when working with Adobe Reader and PDF files, I suggest you give PDF SpeedUp. Overall, I’d rate it 3/5.
