Hey guys, I have 2 issues with my Adobe reader and was wondering if anyone know how I can fix these problems:
1. Whenever I am opening a .pdf file on a website, it always asks if I want to run Adobe. I only have the option of "Run this time" or "Always run on this website." Is there a way to set it so that pdf files will always open without prompts?
2. When I'm viewing big .pdf files (20MB - 30MB), scrolling and changing pages takes forever. Is this because I need more RAM (I currently have 4GB RAM, 64bit Windows 7)?
Thank you!

Try the free version of Foxit reader (remove Acrobat first)... I found out about it here and and have never looked back. Better than Adobe PDF Reader and Acrobat
You can set it to open without prompts if you wish, I am paranoid so I always go with the prompt (LOL)
When you scroll, what does task manager say AFA Physical memory usage? with Foxit I can easly scroll big documents in web pages (IE9 )and stuff D/L'ed to my hard drive -

Ah! JOSEA beat my post. Foxit is good - so is Sumatra PDF. Both in my opinion are better, actually, but if you like Adobe Reader (or need it specifically) then you can refer to my screen shot above for configuring it for what you want. -

For this particular pdf file, when I have it open, my RAM usage changes from 59% to 65%.
And the first fix does not work. I still get the prompt, pictured below:

This just happened recently. It maybe due to an Adobe update? Although I do not remember updating my Adobe for a long time.

If you want to stay with adobe you could remove it, then run free version of Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems and install the current Adobe reader

Oh, figured it out (for Chrome but the process should be similar in other browsers).
1. In the omnibox, type: chrome://plugins
2. Check "always allowed" under Adobe Reader
Voilla. -

Okay I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader - doesn't help. I changed the Chrome plugin settings to always allow Adobe Reader, now whenever I get to a pdf website it just says Adobe Acrobat has crashed.
Fixed: In Chrome plugins, I just changed to have pdf websites viewed using Chrome's pdf viewer instead of Adobe's pdf viewer. -

Oh well. All is well that ends well, right?
